What does this mean for 2012?

Not a surprise. 23 percent is about right. I am surprised she did not get 40 percent. I know there were a few other candidates in the mix. She will get everyone but the disapproval which is about 48 percent. Her approvals are 40 percent so I don’t know where the other 17 percent went. If I were her I would study this to find out what she needs to do to get that other 17 percent support.

Romney?????

[wilco200]

“Conservatives Activists” should know better that to support Romney at all. He should have come in with 0%

[txrangerette]

A few other candidates?

There were 19 other candidates.

Huge, huge number of candidates; therefore she did quite well to garner 23%.

That was well more than double what Romney got, and equal to Romney plus the next two vote-getters combined.

Romney, Pawlenty, Huck, Newt, Santorum... I don’t think so.

Palin is the only one.

I understand that but her approvals have her at 40 percent. So who did the other 17 percent support. If she has 40 percent supporters than she should have 40 percent Tea Partiers in her column. There is something that these Tea Partiers are seeing in other candidates that Palin is not providing them. I would seriously find that out if I were her.

[keep your powder dry]

you betcha...

any hopes of a palin/gingrich, palin/ryan ticket?

[McGruff]

I actually supported Romney in 2008.

After it was down to only 2 candidates left and he couldn't even beat that RINO McCain.

Romney is poison. He has been trying to undercut Sarah Palin since most of his campaign workers were absorbed by McCain in 2008, after he lost the primary. I don’t know who is more afraid of her, Romney or Chris Matthews.

I wonder how much this study cost!

“Romney praises Obama again

It means Romney is a rich liberal spoiler who sucks.

So far, but I would like to see Jim DeMint or Paul Ryan.

Palin will be the next REAL President, period.

Romney = John McCain + Bob Dole

If I were her I would study this to find out what she needs to do to get that other 17 percent support.

Simple - all she has to do is get the DBM to stop bashing her every chance they get.

The fact is that she so terrifies the whiners on the left that they make up jabs to take at her to try to keep her negatives up.
