The Polls Are Always Right!

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.
Respectfully to all She’s our greatest foot soldier at the moment, but we will need a general on election day. We need someone more formidable that commands attention, not a candidate that makes you squirm and want to grab the remote.
Ok, so she’s obviously no threat to Obama (STIFLED LAUGHTER) , therefore I forsee attacks on her ceasing very soon. Not.
BO won 52.9% of the vote last fall.
And we’re to believe he’s MORE popular NOW?
ROFLMAO
“a new Marist poll showed Tuesday.”
Should read “Marxist poll.”
Not under this headline.
Or anything similiar to it for that matter.
I’m sure your candidate of choice would make many of us squirm and grab the remote twice as fast.
It is way too early for these kinds of polls.
The Polls Are Always Right!
These MSM White House Stenographers must be REALLY scared if this is what they have to try to sell :)
it’s already be exposed for what it is :

If the presidential election were held today, it wouldn’t be 2012, now would it?
To even *run* this poll smacks of fear and despair. Watching what is happening to Bambi, I’m sure the MSM is seriously worried about their kingmaking ability going forward. Good!
Sorry. This is simply not believable. Given the chance to vote for a true conservative, rather than a RINO like McCain, I think African-Americans would prefer him or her to Obama. Why do I believe this? Because 70% of them voted for Prop 8, California's defense of marriage initiative.

Just curious: Where did you see this story posted before?
>> We need someone more formidable that commands attention
...like, for example... ___________? Who?
I disagree. Obama won due to his ability to uplift people and that is what is needed over the next several years. Sarah has that ability, more so than O. They have figured it out and that is why they are so terrified of her. And terrified is not too strong a word.
Please keep in mind that she was on the national stage for only 9 weeks. In that 9 weeks she left a massive, deep footprint.
In my life, I have never seen a politician do what she has done. Not Reagan, Not Ike, no one. She is good to go.
We know the ONLY reason why they did this BS poll is because Obama is already down to 42 percent approval according to gallop poll. By this time in 2012, I guarantee you, Spongebob Squarepants could beat him in a landslide, with Patrick Starr as his running mate.
This is a believable font! I agree w/you.
