(CNN) - Two days after Sarah Palin fired up a large crowd at Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor rally in Washington, a newly released survey suggests a clear majority of Americans don't think the former vice presidential nominee has the right credentials to be president.

According to the new survey from Vanity Fair and CBS News' 60 Minutes, only 1 in 4 of all adults thinks Palin is qualified to be commander-in-chief while 60 percent say she is not.

WOW! That’s a relief! Now the Government Media won’t have to worry about Sarah Palin any more! We will probably never hear from her again! ;-)

...and I’d still like to know how OBAMA was qualified? Was it his community service? Any college transcripts out there?

Hmmm...A former Governor of a state is not qualified but a Chicago union organizer is? Sure CNN, whatever you say...

this rightly or wrongly seems to be the consensus with a lot of independents and even conservatives. this is purely anectdotal mind you but on my commutes back and forth to work i have been talking to numerous people on the train. they all dont like Obama and cannot wait to vote against him but none of them think Palin is presidential material and hope for someone else or they may stay home. To be fair none like Huckabee either and some like Romney but most do not. This is why i am truly hoping for a fresh face in 2012

That doesn’t square with the left’s abject fear of her.

Further proof that polls aren’t taken to reflect public opinion...they’re taken to MAKE public opinion.

A "new" survey??? Nicely done, CBS...

A better poll question of this sample would be, “what qualifies someone to be President?”

847? They call that a poll? What if the same number were asked if our current CIC were qualified?

I’ll take my chances, thank you CNN and CBS.

Especially when we consider the guy defiling the office now wouldn’t be qualified if he served three more terms.
