Bogus poll. First of all it’s over-sampled for Democrats. The GOP primary preferences are based on just over 300 voters. The results, vis-a-vis Palin, are almost identical to the FOX News Poll of February. No matter what the poll, an excuse will be found by the Palin supporters to dismiss any data that interferes with their self-delusion.
Before it's release, it was predicted right here on FR that the Palin movie would rank right up there with Citizen Kane and Casablanca.
In the Real World, outside of the self-delusion of the Palin supporters, here is how "The Undefeated" actually fared:
Here's the reality: The Undefeated debuted to $65,132 at ten locations over the July 15-17 weekend. This past weekend, its release grew to 14 locations, but business plummeted 62 percent to $24,664, averaging $1,762 per site. That put its total at just $101,382 in ten days, which means it's sold an estimated 13,000 tickets. ... (Undefeated is not to be confused with Sarah's Key, a foreign language movie that opened to $115,708 at five locations this past weekend.) ... To put these numbers into further perspective: The Undefeated's ten theaters on opening weekend yielded 159 showings. Using the current average ticket price of $7.86, that means the movie played to an estimated 52 people per average showing or at about one-fifth to one-quarter capacity. In the movie's second weekend, which had 211 showings, the per-showing average attendance dropped to 15.
Such self-delusion is what brought us the Christine O'Donnell fiasco in 2010.
The stakes are much too high in 2012 to sacrifice America at the altar of the self-delusion of the Palin supporters.
I’m a Palin supporter and I thought the theater release of TU was a mistake before it started.
But
1) Fox News does the worst polls of any new organization—and that’s saying something, and
2) To repeat myself that’s a useless question at this stage in the game.
