In these sort of polls, it’s the trends that matter. We’ve watched these straw polls for a year now, and the one take-away is Sarah Palin wins these more often than not, and has a solid base of support that never wavers. We see other candidates get hot and then come crashing down. Sarah Palin stays strong and steady. Her support is real and stable.

52.4%? Holy flippin’ crap!

I wish you people would quit joking about Perry and Romney, our 10th and 12th place frontrunners. It is embarrassing.

Well, well. The top two were exactly what I voted for in that poll:

1. Sarah Palin

2. Herman Cain

I’m glad to see that many others agree.

Erickson must have pooped his pants when he saw those results. He is a such a jerk, an arrogant ass. Never liked the guy and he never liked Sarah Palin so who gives a flip what that idiot thinks of her

[federal__reserve]

How were the votes recorded?

1. Internet
2. Paper ballots
3. Phone calls
4. Electronic voting machines

If it was Internet, it is easy to pile on votes. Paul supporters are experts at this, we can Freep polls, the
DUmmies can DU any internet poll. It is even very easy to
vote multiple times from the same computer. In this category
Sarah can wait it out for months to jump in.
If it was paper ballots, Sarah can jump in now.
If it was phone calls, Sarah can jump in within a month.
If it was electronic machines, who was the vendor?

Why do you keep posting that? It’s rather offensive, why would you want to insult freepers who are understandably impatient for a Palin announcement? It advances nothing to compare her advocates to whining toddlers.

I've noticed this too, and have brought it up often when debating with her detractors. And that's not the only unofficial measure of her support. There are loads of others, and they all point to the fact that Palin has deeper, wider support for her presidential run, than any other candidate, declared or otherwise.

I'm not into serving up crow pie, but after she declares and shoots to the top of the heap, the tone among some around here is going to change dramatically.

Sarah won the poll in my local Penny Saver, too!

And Fox refused to cover it!

She's gonna win! For sure!

Folks, this stuff is pitiful.

[SamAdams76]

52.4% of the vote and she's not even "officially" a candidate yet!

This is very impressive and a real kick in the groin to those who would write Palin off. BTW, love the oil painting image, would like to get that framed and hanging on the wall in my den.

[FromTheSidelines]

Of the top two vote-getters in this poll, only one really matters - Herman Cain. The other hasn’t declared and thus is little more than a fantasy or “would be nice”....

Cain’s the man.

[Caipirabob]

Heaven forbid she doesn't run, because if she announces she's sitting it out, I don't want to think of what the fallout is going to be like here. It'll be pretty gruesome, I'd imagine.

I'm a big supporter, I think romney and perry are unacceptable and that Cain is the only realistic announced conservative. I just hate seeing the divide that's going on here over the whole thing. I guess I should be used to to being here since 2000, but man, we do a pretty good job of eating our own over these things.

Then again, we can't afford to let RINOs get pushed on us like mccain in 2008. Best we sort that out in short order.

Palin PWNAGE

Cheers!

The Red State poll, like all straw polling, is not scientific, and so not a good indicator of success.
