One too many political tea-leaf readers say that Sarah Palin, with her rock-star personality, loyal following and outsized influence on the Republican Party, could jump into the 2012 presidential race at the last minute and run off with the GOP nomination for president. This is in defiance of consistent and plain evidence that Palin is going nowhere fast.
Now a new poll from the University of New Hampshire only adds to the brief against her running. Among likely Republican voters, the former governor of Alaska garnered just six percent support. Blowing out the field was former next-door Gov. Mitt Romney (Mass.) with 40 percent. Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor who came in fourth during the New Hampshire primary in 2008, came in second with 10 percent.
Now, here's where the news is really bad for Palin. Romney has a net favorability rating among likely Republican primary voters at a solid 57 percent. Palin has a net negative favorability rating of -17 percent. That puts her at the bottom of the list of GOP White House hopefuls. There is one silver lining. At least she beats the publicity-hungry Donald Trump. His net favorability rests in the cellar at -43 percent.
Lots can change between now and when the New Hampshire primary actually happens early next year. And we all know that winning the Granite State doesn't mean the nomination is secured. Just ask my MSNBC colleague Pat Buchanan, who snatched the state from Sen. Bob Dole (R-Kan.) in 1996, or Sen. John McCain, who lost it to then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush during the nomination race of 2000.....

Yet more liberal wishful...
Give Sarah a granite wall and she will climb it.
Any poll showing Mitt Romney in the lead is manifestly flawed.
My comment to Capeheart will be that who ever wins will beat the inept Obummer. Obummer is his boy, when the Newsweek writer slammed Obama the other day on Scarborough, he about cried lol.
Palin will be fine btw.
This is just empty babble by a nobody.
anti Palin Republicans are mostly secular country club republicans who want more socialism.
im losing faith in our chance to save our country. they idiots are hurting their country bad and they dont even know it !
It’s a sexist world. IMO
List of straw polls that Palin has won recently:
1)townhall.com (January)
2)HA poll by Patrick Ishmael (over last 3 days)
3)NRO poll (over last 2 days)
4)ACE OF SPADES poll three weeks ago
5)Right Scoop poll last weekend
6)Current American Spectator poll
My friends something is afoot despite what MSM pollsters are trying to disseminate.
Well I read the sample of this poll was 357 and thats it. A poll with a sample that size is statically flawed.
Palin makes the maggot infested gays posing as journalists go totally insane.
Here is the record of the maggot writings his wet dream posing as an oped and/or news:

Even if it were 753 it’d be flawed ~
Shows how scared they are of her.
It’s probably Sarah’s to lose. I just hope West is her VP pick
At this point in Poppy Bush’s term, the Democrats’ presidential hopes for 1992 were going nowhere fast. All the polls said so.
