Dem Pollster - Palin Down 10% To Obama, Romney Even
Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion ^ | 1/19/11 | William A. Jacobson

Posted on 01/20/2011 6:12:46 AM PST by Lakeshark

To read some of the reviews telling Sarah Palin it's over as to any hope of winning a general election, you would think she would be down in the polls versus Obama by an enormous margin, particularly if a poll were taken in the days after the Tucson shooting when the media was in full blame mode tying Palin's electoral map to the shooting.

But if this poll conducted January 9-12 by Greenberg Quinlin Rosner, a Democratic polling firm, for Democracy Corps is accurate, Palin is down 10% among voters and 6% among people who vote in 2010:

I see the same weaknesses you do. Too bad she didn’t have two terms as governor. But it is amazing to watch the LEFT go nuts at the mere mention of her name! Romney, Huckabee, Pence, Pawlenty, Gingrich—no one gets the LEFT riled up like Sarah.

The LEFT perceives Palin as a fundamental threat to everything they have been trying to accomplish since the Woodrow Wilson administration. That’s the only answer. But what a spectacle the LEFT is making of itself. Listen to what the enemy is telling us.

Even worse, most polling is done with an eye to influence through news stories rather than discover what people think.

90% of conservatives will never again vote for a rino or socialist... so unless the nominee is Conservative... they will not win. romney will never get my vote ever... neither would newt, mccain, huckster or any other pos rat.

I believe that poll result at this moment, and that it isn’t far greater after the last couple of weeks of press coverage to me in extremely encouraging for a Palin campaign.

Ten points for a challenger almost two years out is nothing. The greater question at this stage is whether the incumbent is comfortably over 50%, which he really isn’t at all.

Imagine that!

Palin is down 10% among Democrats! We're DOOOMMmmmed.......

And look for this poll to be in every newspaper, every major news report and it will be discussed by ALL the Pundits and Political “Exerts” across the country.

The media is so predictable. They planted the lie, hammered it home for the required 4 days, then explained away the truth and the facts as if they were lies and baseless excuses meant to get Palin out of this “rightful revaluation”.

In the mean time, the county and the economy as a whole is going down the toilet without one word being said. All we are hearing is this over and over again. They are merely bragging about their new found power again. And Amerika is dying because of them.

“Listen to what the enemy is telling us.”

If Palin is the nominee, I have no problem casting a vote for her. My biggest concern is I don’t know if she can win. Don’t underestimate the State Controlled Media. They’ve done the full court press to demonize Palin. I’m in the blue part of Ohio, and my moderate friends wouldn’t even consider casting a vote for her, ever.

I am not a Palin fan...and I really hate these attacks on her.

Its getting stupid

The Dems want Romney to run. He is a Liberal...and if he wins....Obama’s Commie agenda will pretty much remain intact (Health Care, Free Trade w/ Communist China, etc).

Oh! Well, we should support Romney then, and we can replace a Communist with a mere Socialist! WHOO HOO!

It is a big deal. We can replace a communist who hates America with a socialist who likes the idea of America but really thinks we'd be better off without capitalism, freedom, and all those other annoyances that get in the way of government making decisions for us.

If the economy has a comeback by 2012, I doubt Bambi can lose, if it doesn’t he won’t stand a chance, it’ll be worse than the first Reagan landslide.

I hope Palin runs and if she loses by 10% America will have no excuse for it’s demise. It’s one thing to vote for the Kenyan Marxist over a real American once because you’re a stupid naive moron but to do it twice would really show we are through as a nation.

Obama moving right is just a pose.

Obama will never relinquish his ties to the far left and its communist agenda.

yes, but the difference is that the dynamics of 2011-2012 election is the grassroots movement compared to other times, nobody is going to get wide support if they don’t tap into the Tea Party/grassroots in the Primary season or the general election and the movement is an anti-Establishment movement as well which spells trouble for the likes of Mitt....if we choose another moderate then we will lose in 2012 because the base will not come out in droves for the nominee no matter how much they dislike Obama.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA, no way could I say all that with a straight face!

Don’t underestimate the State Controlled Media. They’ve done the full court press to demonize Palin.

They will do that to every candidate that has an (r) behind their name, heck they even did it to their own choice, McCain, after he was nominated.

There is no one with an (r)who will be exempt, don't kid yourself. What's more important is how they fight back, or if they even will fight back.

Sarah Palin isn’t afreaid to challenge the basic assumptions of the left. Most Republicans agree with the basic assumptions: “progressive” taxation, “fairness”, growing entitlement programs, etc.

Sarah Palin does NOT accept those assumptions and is willing to challenge the RAT superstructure from the ground up. Not one other Republican would take on the entire WELFARE STATE at its ideological and intellectual foundation.

THAT IS FREAKING OUT THE LEFT. THEY DO NOT EVEN WANT TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION!!! Sarah Palin, whether she gets the nomination or not, will challenge the other Republicans to think clearly about SOCIALISM, the Constitution, freedom and liberty, individualism, and free market economics, Sarah Palin represents an UNTHINKABLE threat to the left. There is no other explanation for their absolute terror of a nice looking lady from Alaska. We should all pray she runs and steers the debate toward restoring America.

Lakeshark, check out Christie’s stance on illegal immigration. Living 25 miles from the largest border crossing (and apparently to the most tunnels), I want someone that will be tough on illegals, not welcome them with open arms.

So, tell me;

What would be the indicator that there is even a remote chance that this economy will make a “comeback” before 2012? Other than the continuous lies the media is currently feeding the publik.

If Palin did win by some miracle, the left would go ballistic.

Just the thought of it makes my mouth water.

Maybe then far left commie loons like Barbra Streisand, Sean Penn, Joy Behar, Bill Maher, Michael Moore and Alec Baldwin would finally make good their threat to leave America for good and never return. Hey, I understand Hugo Chavez would roll out the welcome mat for all of you!

Good riddance to them!
