WASHINGTON (CNN) Fewer than three in 10 Americans think Sarah Palin's qualified to be president, according to a new national poll - the least of any of the five potential candidates included in the survey.
But another woman tops that list in the CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Monday: two-thirds of the public thinks that Secretary of State HIllary Clinton's qualified for the Oval Office. That's more than Vice President Joe Biden, who's currently next in line for the presidency.
According to the poll, 28 percent of Americans say Palin is qualified to run the White House, with seven in 10 saying the former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee is not qualified.
The survey indicates that a majority of Republicans, 54 percent, feel Palin is qualified, with 44 percent indicating she isn't. But only 29 percent of independent voters questioned feel she is qualified to serve as president, with 68 percent disagreeing. According to the poll, nine in 10 Democrats feel Palin is not qualified.
The poll's release comes one day before the release of Palin's book, "Going Rogue: An American Life."

Not qualified because she’s conservative.
You can tell the candiate that really scares them, it's the one they ridicule the most.
CNN want's to split the Conservatives from the Republican Party.
I am sick to death of Romney and the love feast the MSM has with him. That alone is enough to disqualify him from the Republican Party.
SHE HAS A BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND TWO AMERICAN PARENTS!!
They’re big on Rat Romney. I actually have a feeling that Huckabee won’t even run, but Romney wants it so bad he can taste it and he’s got the money to buy it the way Bloomberg bought New York.
Still, I think many other candidates are going to emerge and these two will both be forgotten by then, regardless of the MSM’s dreams. Most people learned how well the MSM choses GOP candidates: after all, they gave us McCain.
Let me see....Obama YES is qualified, and Sara Palin is not? Ah...excuse me, like Barney Frank, said, WHAT PLANET AM I ON?
Yeah right, CNN.
Liars.
Let me see....Obama YES is qualified, and Sara Palin is not? Ah...excuse me, like Barney Frank, said, WHAT PLANET AM I ON?
I’m dying to hear who CNN thinks the Democrat nominee in 2012 will be?
Governor of a state the size of Europe versus governor of small state versus governor of really small state.
Come on CNN, fact check Huckabee’s book, come on..please..I’m begging ya..So they are promoting Romney and Huckabee, gee I wonder why..Oh that answer is just TOO easy isn’t it. Remember this folks, the media tells us EVERYDAY who they are terrified can beat Obama
When I sit down to make my decision as to who to vote for President will the first place I will go for advice be CNN?
Not so much!
Doesn’t surprise me, that is teh agenda they’ve pushed very effectively.
Of course, it’s very hard to see how Obama could be qualified if she isn’t.
And Biden is a well established idiot, despite his years in the Senate.
She terrifies them.
That's actually unfair to Mrs. Palin ... I essentially just said she was more qualified than raw sewage.
Let me rephrase my response - Governor Palin is qualified to be President and it would be a blessing if she were in office. Whether she wants the job, or not, I don't know.
It's hard to believe CNN would push two Republicans who have zero chance to win.
Everyone wondered how many nanoseconds Romney would wait to attack.
