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."

Who commissioned the poll?
They always cover for who shells out the money for these polls, it’s a dirty little propaganda game they play.
Hey, CNN;
How ‘bout you nominate your Democratic candidates; and you allow us to nominate ours?
It wasn’t the RINOS that saddled us with McCain; we can thank the Democratic voters for nominating the worst possible man for our candidate.
Both of them can be unqualified. Which is my vote. When it comes time to cleaning up after Obama, we don't need another amateur.
Sarah Palin gave up her chance at being qualified when she quit as governor.
Well, how else do you think Myth can cover up for Romneycare?
LOL. I guess if they had taken a poll in 2005 asking if Barack Obama was qualified to be President, they would have received similar numbers. If fact, they should run a poll today and find out how many people think that Obama is qualified to be President.
With an idiot like we have illegally occupying the WH....and most Americans say Palin isn’t qualified for the Presidency....you’ve got to be shitting me. We are doomed!
Excellent!
Yeah, I can see how Huckabee is way more qualified than the governor of a state with a tiny population that begins with the letter A.
I would say to CNN that when you poll democrats, your poll doesn’t have a lot of credibility.
> CNN pushes Romney, Huckster
UH-HUH. Just like they pushed McCain and every other RINO.
CNN is so “helpful” to offer “advise” on the Republican party’s candidates.
Since CNN is the antithesis of everything Conservatives believe in,
hope they don’t mind if we ignore their “endorsement”.
Palin is vastly more qualified than B.O. However, the sheeple are merely revealing how much the elitist MSM controls them.
Any poll from CNN must be assumed that it is entirely lise and nothing else.
They are Democrats!
BS. She is in a much better position now if she wants to run for President in 2012. Why should she have remained in office and been bankrupted by these phony charges as well as having her reputation damaged on almost a daily basis?
Now she has plenty of money and can be a player in the 2010 midterms by endorsing and supporting candidates who can help her further down the line. Her resignation was the smartest thing she ever did.
Neither is qualified.
Just because the American people were bamboozled into electing one unqualified candidate doesn't mean it's a good idea for us to nominate another one.
Good thing we got a qualified president instead of Palin. She might have embarassed the whole country.
Most Americans? Really?!
