They used to be about 85%, if I remember correctly.

I could be wrong, by my impression of at least one of those Bristol interviews is that she implied that teaching abstinence doesn’t work. With that kind of logic, we may as well teach children “safe” drug use and “safe” drink driving.
Yes, her rating in Alaska was much higher prior to the election, primarily because democrats also favored her. Since she was the VP nominee, the dems in Alaska started taking their marching order from 0bama. The last poll I saw showed that as of now, she’s unbeatable if she choses to run for reelection.
Admittedly, Bristol’s very first interview back in February didn’t go that well, but her appearances earlier this month went very well, and for the most part, received favorable press. I’d say she has done very well, for an 18 year old kid who has been under tremendous strain for the better part of a year. She’ll only get better here on out.
