Obama topping Palin in Red Arizona [ Daily Kos's PPP- again ]

Even in Republican Arizona, Barack Obama has a healthy lead over Sarah Palin.

With the state swinging away from Democrats, having Palin on the ballot come general election time next year is Obama's best hope of winning the Grand Canyon State, according to a new poll. Democrats have taken Arizona in only one presidential race since 1952. Continue Reading

The survey by Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling found Obama topping Palin 49 percent to 41 percent in the state. That's significantly better than he fares against other candidates — Obama trails Mitt Romney by 6 points, Mike Huckabee by 4 points, and is locked in a tie with Newt Gingrich.

Distaste for Palin, home-state Sen. John McCain's 2008 running mate, drives Obama's lead, according to the poll. While 51 percent of Arizonans disapprove of Obama's job performance, 57 percent have an unfavorable view of Palin.

The survey 599 voters has a sampling error of 4 percent.

In a fictitious face off , PPP could prove Obama over Ronald Reagan by 20 points.

Well at least the polls for Senator Nelson in Nebraska show him losing and those polls are believed so we are not all bad. If only the poll showed Palin winning then the poll would be accurate around here.

So 4% error each way may mean 51+4 = 55% disapproval for 0bama
57-4 = 53% unfavorable for Palin.

I think Palin has a better shot at improving her numbers than Barry.

Public Policy Polling is useless. It might as well be called DNC Polling. Whomever they claim can’t beat Obama, just assume the opposite is true. In this case, it’s easy.

How do they explain the state having two republican senators, a republican governor, and a big republican majority in the legislature?
Oh, never mind, I forgot-—libs don’t know the meaning of the truth. In fact the truth is their worst enemy.

Doesn’t mean a lick until the campaign gets underway. It’s an effort to demoralize. Many here on FR are cheering with Obama and the msm. How does it feel to be on Obama’s team guys? If Sarah runs and all the polls show her down in the summer of 2012 then I’ll start to worry.

Just for a second, think about how incredibly dumb this poll is.

Palin was the FIRST one out of the chute to stand up for AZ’s citizens & Arizona’s governor, Jan Brewer, in defense of AZs immigration law. Palin even cut commercials to help the state raise money to defend the law. Gov. Brewer won re-election by a pretty healthy margin.

But I’m supposed to believe that Arizonans will vote for the guy whose administration is suing THEM and trying to prevent the implementation of that law? As opposed to the candidate that came out on the side of the citizensand actually helped them? Btw, Giffords barely won re-election in that state. But they want Obama, eh? LMAO

Sometimes the propaganda just takes off it’s clothes and stands nekkid right in front of you, so you can’t miss it.

I predict many more of these PPP polls showing Obama over Sarah.

Who is paying for them?

Newt, Mitt? or DeMmint?

Yeah but people in AZ had a choice between JD and disgusting McCain. I was offered a free golf business trip to Scottsdale and said no thanks.

Not DeMint. Maybe Mitt or Newt. What was the sample? 500 people? I bet that cost $2,000 if that much.

PPL polls and all polls are meaningless until candidates actually announce. I don’t know why this rates as news, except at politico-obama.com?

In any campaign, the most prominent strategy is to deny your opponent’s electability.

Without regard to truth or accuracy.

Polls are not going to influence me one way or the other. Polls like this are invalid. If a poll like this influnces people then they are weak minded sheep.

I remember January and February 1991, when George Bush was so far up in the polls that pretty much nobody on the Democratic side wanted to run in 1992, except Jerry Brown...and Bill Clinton. Barry isn’t that far up. Nowhere near.
