Many Republicans Would Vote for Obama Over Palin (RINO Alert)
Political Wire ^ | 4/23/09

Posted on 04/23/2009 12:26:39 PM PDT by steve-b

A new Public Policy Polling survey has some interesting findings concerning Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R): While 76% of Republican voters have a favorable opinion of her, 21% say they would rather vote for President Obama if she became the Republican party presidential nominee in 2012.

In a head-to-head match up, Obama would beat Palin, 53% to 41%.

The survey also shows Obama beating Mike Huckabee, 49% to 42%, Newt Gingrich, 52% to 39%, and Mitt Romney, 50% to 39%.

Those numbers can easily be overcome in 3.5 years. We’re gonna have to raise about $1B to fight the 2012 campaign.

Pollsters lie. They’re trying to defeat Sarah, already.

Wouldn’t it be GREAT to have a Cheney/Palin ticket?

They might think it’s an honor for him to go to ND, but most REAL Catholics, as opposed to pro-abortion CINOS, are very very offended.

“I know intelligent people who lead conservative lifestyles and like Obama. They are also Catholic and think it’s an honor for him to go to Notre Dame.”

I have found that some so-called “intelligent” people are dumber than dirt when it comes to politics and other subjects. A math professor can be brilliant, go to church and raise a lovely family and still be an idiot in the voting booth.

“Did McCain sponsor this poll?”

Might have. The McCains are probably still angry at Sarah because she took away their “stardom” (not that McCain really had it in the first place).

I simply don’t believe it.

I tried to find out something about this poll and an analysis of the outfit which generated it. Nothing much.

Wonder who their sponsor is?

Some of the internals:

PPP conducted a national survey of 686 voters from April 17 to 19th. The survey’s margin of error is +/-3.7%. Other factors, such as refusal to be interviewed and weighting, may introduce additional error that is more difficult to quantify.

If you are a Democrat, press 1. If you are a Republican, press 2. If you are an independent or identify with another party, press 3.
40% Democrat
33% Republican
27% Independent/Other

Internals, who needs internals...... They are always the key because weighting as you highlight can swing results by several points. We don’t know how they actually weighted this poll.

No surprise, the GOP has a significant number of liberals. In a two-party system, the two parties eventually merge. America is ripe for a big change. Not a third party, but a new conservative party to replace the GOP. We may have to wait another 4 years, after Obama beats whomever the GOP runs. It’s a pretty safe bet that the elitists who run the GOP will come up with yet another liberal who is soft on abortion, soft on social spending, one who makes the appropriate noises regarding taxes and national defense, blah blah blah, reaching across the aisle, but who supports continuing erosion of private property and private contract rights, if Obama has left any intact. In other words , a loser.
