Sarah Palin can grab voters' attention whenever she wants, but they're not ready to put her in the White House – not by a long shot.
If the 2012 presidential election were held today, and Palin was the GOP candidate, she’d get wiped out by President Obama, a new Marist poll showed Tuesday.
Only 33% of registered voters would go for Palin compared to Obama’s 56%, with 11% undecided.
Obama would pull in 92% of Democrats and Palin would get 73% of Republicans.
The President would clean Palin’s clock among amost all voting groups.
Independents would go 49% to 34% for Obama, according to the poll of 854 registered voters with a margin of error of 3.5%.
Men went for Obama 54% to 36% and women by a wider margin: 58% to 30%.
Whites favored Obama 50% to 40%, African-Americans by 99% to 1%, and Latinos 62% to 27%.
The only region where Palin held Obama under 50% was the South -- where Obama had 49% to 38% margin.
I will personally raise $1 million dollars for Governor Sarah Palin if she runs. I was able to put together $40,000 for Fred while laid-up in bed for part of the primaries. I challenge all Pro-Sarah FReepers and Lurkers to a fund-raising contest once she declares!! Who’s in?
Completely bogus poll.
LOL Marist poll? Never heard of it.
Prior to Obama’s win in Iowa, McCain was beating Obama in MA and MD. This was before the media fawning.
Palin has higher support among men than women for 2 reasons:
1) Men finding conservativism more appealing. Case in point, talk radio is largely a men’s market.
2) Women are jealous of other women who are prettier than them.
Remember, the NY daily news says that the Dems would also remain in control of both the House and Senate for both the 2010 and 2012 election cycles......
You’ve last yer darn mind, haven’t ya?
Marist has a long record of over-stating Democrat strength.
A far out-lier poll.
Or perhaps, a far-out liar poll.
The smell of libscum fear is palpable, Sarah Palin has them soiling themselves and she’s not even running yet.
It’s a beautiful thing.
We'll see soon enough the impact she has on 2010 and what that means for 2012.
I KNOW Sarah would win an election if it were held TODAY, over Obama.
That is PRECISELY why the NY Daily News is promulgating
this fictitious poll, once again telling us that what
we know “isn’t so”. The hidden agenda of some polls and pollsters comes down to nothing more than
telling us what we think, (as if we didn’t know what we think,) and if we think contrary to what the polls tell us we think, the pollsters and the interests behind them hope to somehow convince us that we don’t really think what we think. They hope to get us to “get in line” behind the results of the poll. Gotta admit, it’s pretty funny, as a backdoor and simpleminded way of “influencing” people.

Does your mom serve breakfast in the basement or do you have to come upstairs?
I accept this as a likely possibility right now... but there is quite a while before 2012, and the trajectory each of the persons are on certainly favors Sarah as of this time.

Agreed.
Just curious: Where did you see this story posted before?
You provided a link to a different story about the same poll. There is a big difference between a re-post and a redundant story. A respost means someone didn't take the time to do a title search before posting. A redundnant story is usually an honest mistake. Can you see how someone would rather be guilty of one over the other?
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to make you smarter.
This poll is the very proof of what they’re desperate to refute....
I think you may have lost your mind. I don’t know what you are talking about,nor do I care.
