The headline makes no sense, because the writer misuses “disfavor with.” The object of “with” should be the person showing the disfavor — in this case, Palin. An example of proper usage would be “Biden is in disfavor with Obama for casting doubt on his readiness for the Presidency.” The writer of the headline gets things backwards!

What does this mean, the dummycrats don't like her even more than before?

NBC is worse. I know one of their top political directors, he describes himself as a “Marxist.” His words, not mine. They also spam mail their people in NBC NY regarding Obama’s standing in the polls on a nearly daily basis. That organization is beyond redemption.

McCain is going to win this election like Karpov (not Kasparov) used to win Chess games in his heyday. Not with a brilliant flash, but by accumulating slow incremental gains over time. And like Karpov’s opponents, the MSM wont even realize they are losing until after they have lost !

Is ANYONE paying any attention to Palin’s popularity at rallies and TV appearences?? Who in the hell are these people polling???

The low numbers regarding the question about not relating to average people??? WTH??? That number blows me away... I also still don’t understand the women gap either.

What are we missing here, except for the usual MSM bias????

We voted in Florida today and had to wait 90 minutes to get to the ballot. It was rainy, yet people stood in line for more than 2 hours to vote.

The poll worker indicated that more than 3200 people have voted so far in the last three days and it was only noon when we voted.

There are approximately 35,000 people in our District registered to vote.

The poll worker indicated that they have a request in to the State asking to open earlier and stay open later.

I can't imagine the lines for those States that don't have the early voting option.

We are in Lee County and while the line was long the voters were orderly and the poll workers were well organized.

It’s easy to understand why the Commie DemocRATS and their tingler toadies in the Obamedia “disfavor” Governor Palin. If it hadn’t been for Governor Palin, Obama and is band of Chicago thugs would already be cooling their heels in the Oval Office.

I predict voters will have a Peter Jennings Temper Tantrum this November.

LOL.

msm..hate Palin 24/7..all day..all nite..no let up.. ******************************************* Old Italian saying- the tongue always touches the tooth that hurts.

She's the left's biggest problem, they know it. Unfortunately, the McCain advisers apparently don't yet understand that they have the game breaker right in their hands.

Folks - Palin is out pulling Obama at rallies 2 to 1. Obama has a scam rally with Bon Jovi, Springsteen or a basketball game nextdoor like Miami.

When he had a normal rally in Tampa - he pulled 3,000 or less based on pics. Palin in Clearwater pulled 20,000 and could have pulled even more. The city and police said no more.

They are terrified of Palin. She is a younger Reagan. The RINOs hate her because she will energize conservatives to move up in the party. The RINOs I am talking about are the ones coming out for Obama. Jero*fs, traitors and trust baby idiots you never heard of like Weld, Adleman, McClelan, Colon Bowel.

“...capping her dramatic rise in unpopularity...”

Who writes like that ?

Ok. Top of the hour news on the radio just happened. The news ninny “reported” that slightly more than half of likely voters view Sarah negatively.

Those would be the dummycrats who will vote for the jerks running on their ticket, right?

This headline, while possibly true (depending on the real percentages of the polls), it is equally true when you substitute zerobama’s or biden’s name. Just a different group’s views being reported.

It is just another negative way to mention Sarah.

Brooks is jealous because Sarah looks better in a skirt than he does.

Luckily for us, no one watches these programs anymore. 70% of the population agrees the media is in the tank for zero.

They have made fools of themselves and are relegated to being on prison and nursing home televisions only. Note all the ads for Depends and Arthritis medicines.

Still no “disfavor” with Rimshot Joe Biden, huh? I guess the morons in this country bought his story about FDR, the depression and TV.

According to Rush, there are only 200 early polling places authorized and the Republicans passed legislation to only allow 8 hours of early voting a day to reduce dim cheating. November 4 there will be 6800 polling places open and one more thing... they have to print out a ballot based on your address in early voting and that causes major delays. The early voting turnout by dims and Republicans is running at the same percentage as 2004 nationwide.
