Republicans Turn Hostile to Palin
American Spectator ^ | July 14, 2009 | Doug Bandow

Posted on 07/14/2009 5:57:24 PM PDT by RobinMasters

The latest poll ratings suggest that many Republicans have turned negative towards Gov. Sarah Palin after her surprise resignation announcement. Reports CNN:

A majority of Americans think Sarah Palin is stepping down as Alaska's governor for political reasons, according to a new national poll, with a majority of Republicans now saying that they do not believe that Palin would be an effective president.

Only 33 percent of Republicans questioned in a CBS News survey released Monday night say that Palin would have the ability to serve effectively as president. Last fall, 71 percent of registered Republicans felt that way.

Its a CBS poll, which means they asked Democrats who pretended to be Republicans what their opinion of her is. I saw a poll that showed that 80 percent of Republicans would vote for her. CBS is in the tank for Obama, like every other media outlet

The GOP today would eagerly rally behind Lindsay Graham for president, and would proclaim him the savior of the Republic. I would not be among them.

This poll smells fishy. I wonder what the sample looks like and where they ran the poll. Maybe in Romney’s office?

I would hardly characterize this as "turning hostile" to Palin, especially since she hasn't even announced plans to seek the Presidency.

One problem is that if the Republicans continue to have open primaries, Dems pretending to be Republicans will be a large number of those voting for the nominee.

Another poll shows Palin getting 72% of the GOP vote. So who is lying? I would say those who are already known to be liars, CBS and CNN. And another article said that Palin had “broken” the GOP, but now has taken control. There would not be nasty daily articles if she was not such an extremely popular, conservative, Christian white woman.

Sorry it was only 71%:

“When it comes to a potential presidential run, the USA TODAY Poll displays Palin’s strength in the Republican base and weakness among swing voters, who traditionally decide national elections. Republicans by 71%-27% say they’d be likely to vote for her if she ran for president in 2012..”
