No, this is not coming from Rasmussen or an internal GOP poll, but from the normally Democrat-sympathetic Public Policy Polling...
With his approval numbers hitting new lows its no surprise that Barack Obamas numbers in our monthly look ahead to the 2012 Presidential race are their worst ever this month. He trails Mitt Romney 46-43, Mike Huckabee 47-45, Newt Gingrich 46-45, and is even tied with Sarah Palin at 46. The only person tested he leads is Jan Brewer, who doesnt have particularly high name recognition on the national level at this point.
Its not that any of the Republican candidates are particularly well liked. Only Huckabee has positive favorability numbers at 37/28. Romneys at 32/33, Gingrich at 32/42, Palin at 37/52, and Brewer at 17/20. But with a majority of Americans now disapproving of Obama its no surprise that a large chunk of them would replace him as President if they had that choice today.
There are two things driving these strong poll numbers for the Republican candidates. The first is a lead with independents in every match up. Romney leads 48-35 with them, Gingrich is up 50-39, Huckabee has a 46-40 advantage, Palins up 47-42, and even Brewer has a 38-37 edge.

The man fell for global warming! Why would anyone want someone so easily snookered as POTUS?
“You Palinstinians are pathetic beyond belief.”
You are now using the playbook of the left by labeling those you disgree with with negatively charged names.
“He trails Mitt Romney 46-43, Mike Huckabee 47-45, Newt Gingrich 46-45, and is even tied with Sarah Palin at 46.”
Newt and Mitt can go pound sand but frankly any of the four would be preferable to the idiot currently ruling our nation.
“WHY was Rudy dismissed last go round? Too Moderate????”
Nope. Too Liberal.
Palin is from a basicly rural area. She knows how to raise a family like me. She knows what threatens her family like me.
She can hunt, fish, and pray to God, like me.
She has a son serving our country, like me. She's trying the best way she can to serve this country.....and yet so many people are putting her down as "stupid" or "incompetent".
I've read about the things she did in Alaska. Compare those to any other GOP hopeful. And don't even give me that "well, she quit" BS......Y'all know why!
I'm not intellectual and have no college degree or anything like that, but I do know what it takes to be an American and know what conservative Americans want.
Well I want Palin to run, and I hope she picks Rep. Steve King from Iowa to be her VP.
(just my 2 cents)

You're simply full of it. Every time she's come out for someone the numbers have gone up. It was true for every one of her endorsements.
Every.
Single
One.
Including Fiorina and Haley amongst others.
None of them were trending until her endorsement. You can pretend she just stuck her finger in the wind, but you have to be on another planet to believe that.
You deserve it.
I've not seen that in anyone else.
Speaking of "playbooks", I noticed you didn't address what I said other than take umbrage at your anti-woman ethnic bias.
I hope you’re not talking about that bogus BS about him asking his cancer-ridden wife for a divorce while she was in the hospital. That was a total lefty fabrication.

Really and why is that? Can you show a proof. Of course not because you have non. I know why you think that way and shame on you for going that low.
Nice pirouette.

Leftwing smear-machine lies believed and propagated by FR posters. Very sad. This story is a complete fabrication.

He blew his golden opportunity in the 1990's. He's not trustworthy.
Do you know how does Palin compares head-to-head with Mitt RINO Romney?
When she endorses someone, their poll numbers go up. Her endorsements are the most sought after by anyone in the GOP. Doesn't sound like much of a joke to me, just ask the new Gov Nikki Haley when she gets in the statehouse. You can use that word all you want, but when she talks, people listen, and even Obama has to deal with it. She's the only one he has named other than Rush Limbaugh. Some joke.
His first wife had breast cancer.
His first wife had uterine cancer.
He corned her in her hospital room right after surgery.
He delivered the divorce papers when she was recovering from a procedure.
With 52% negatives? I don’t think so.
