Much has been made of Sarah Palin’s impact in elections this year – and whether her endorsement was what made the difference for Joe Miller in Alaska, Christine O’Donnell in Delaware, and numerous other candidates.
But her stamp of approval may not always be a help, especially when it comes to the general election.
A new poll in California found that Ms. Palin is a highly polarizing figure there and that most Californians view her negatively.

even in Mexifornia..
Too bad it wasn’t strong enough to get DeVore over the 20% in the primary.
I still think Carly might win. But she’s a target rich environment. And Palin’s support ain’t gonna hurt her.
“A new poll in California found that Ms. Palin is a highly polarizing figure there and that most Californians view her negatively.”
CA ... polarized? By Sarah Palin? Huh. They paid a pollster to find that out?
Wnhat could possibly make Ms.Plain a “highly polarizing figure
“?
Seriously. Other than the constant hatred spewing from the COmmunists in the media?
CA is the land of fruits and nuts.
How about a poll of not "most Californians" but the ones likely to vote in November. I suspect Sarah polls much higher in that group.
Amanda Paulson’s father is chief executive of Goldman Sachs and her husband is an no-name actor.
No.
Fiorina running for Senate in a state like California as a Republican is what hurts her. Arnold won but he was a movie star.
Too many voters get their “news” from Comedy Central:

I think you will see some heavily dem districts go GOP. Gunny Pop will beat the marxist Filner in 51. So hopefully races like that will help get Boxer out too.
If Fiorina is smart, she will use Sarah’s endorsement to win.
Neither she nor Whitman will be appearing with Palin on Oct 16 when she goes to Anaheim for a rally.
Two weeks before the La Raza paid maid via Gloria Allred came onto the scene, Sarah Palin was ahead of Meg Whitman in popularity in CA by a few points, but now I shudder to think how far Meg has fallen.
Governor Palin is More Popular Among California Republicans than Meg Whitman
Favorable/Unfavorable Among California RepublicansSarah Palin: 74/18
Meg Whitman: 72/18
Democrats have a nearly 2-1 lead in registration, and most Independents lean left. Irreputable fact. Only in a year like this does someone like Fiorina have a chance, and she still must run a nearly flawless campaign.
Though not socially conservative enough for most here, Campbell would be ahead by 15. His forte is economics, which is exactly the sort of knowledge needed in the Senate at this time in our history. He would have added 75 points to the IQ level of the vanquished Boxer.
Those are the same numbers the new Field poll mentioned in this piece has for her amongst GOPers
The article is propaganda, IMO. They make it sound they are voting for Sarah and not Carly.
Nope. Watch Gunny Pop beat the pants off Bob Filner in 51
she is hitting over 50-50
Kali is a tough nut regardless
the state is just so full of minorities and loony crackers..(some in Fresno excluded obviously) but it’s a leftist paradise in urban areas and in the Hemp belt
i don’t blame Palin for the loss but like you I faulted her for endorsing Fiorina over DeVore
