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%.

For your reference from the earlier thread on the bogus AP Poll.

Of those who say the country is on the right track in the AP-GfK poll, 73 percent are Democrats, 17 percent are independents and 10 percent are Republicans.

The occupation media know they are in trouble. Polls are strictly for manipulation. The aforementioned fact was buried in the AP spin. I think this is the real situation and they are terrified of Governor Palin.

I hate to be negative but - crap like this makes me lose all hope for a come-back

That is the reason for the "poll", don't fall for it. (bold is mine)

Actually, those numbers really aren't too bad for someone who's not even running and for someone who actually has 3 1/2 years to make up the difference. If I were a democrat, I would be worried about such a small difference this far out from the election.

Another point, any "republican" who would vote for Obama or any democrat, especially after what we've been witnessing in the last 3 months, is not really a republican.

Yep. Alas the GOP would never allow it.

This Poll and Goddard are Liberal Democrats.

Sub title S/B Liberal Democrat alert

The Democrats know Gov. Palin would beat Obama.
This is why they are busy trying to divide Republicans
