Weird how these “negatives” only show up in Fox News Polls. I am sure someone out there can find the recent polls that show her with an over 70% positive rating among Republicans.

You noticed *that* too!

Also weird how Fox News and the panel always manage to ignore news about her!

Why, it's as though she isn't even considering a run...LOL.

I'm partiularly fond of those Fox Polls which poll a whole 324 peeps, and have a margin of error of 5.5+! It's a *rule* that Palin must come in 1% point under the third *announced candidate*........LOL.

The are different types of "negatives".

There is a huge difference between a "likeability" question that asks "Do you have a favorable impression of Jane Doe?" and a perceived competence question that asks, "Do you think that Jane Doe would make a good (President/airline pilot/surgeon)?"

I have a very good impression of my 93 year old aunt and I am certain that you would have one too.

Be that as it may, I would definitely answer that my 93 year old aunt would NOT make a good President or airline pilot or surgeon and you should too ..... No matter how much you may like her, personally.

Ask a Palin supporter if he/she has a "Favorable" impression of Sarah Palin and the answer will be, "Yes!!!!"

Ask that same Palin supporter if he/she believes that Sarah Palin would be a good brain surgeon for themselves and answer will be, "Hell, no!!!!"

Likewise, the large majority of Republicans "like" Sarah Palin and have a "Favorable" opinion of her while the vast majority of Democrats simply hate her guts.

On the other hand, even though they may "like" Sarah Palin, 58% of Republicans do not believe that she would make a good President.

Viewing someone favorable and thinking they would make a good President are two different things.
