I just do not believe it.

Why? Poll after poll after poll shows the same thing. Governor Palin not very popular, and outside of her core supporters there is little interest in seeing her as a candidate for 2012. It is what it is. I love Palin, but its been completely obvious for many months that the path she has chosen is not one that involves running for President in 2012.

Many of here on FR and the conservative base love Palin. But she has to get the vote of others, too. Not one poll has her even within shouting distance of 0bama. He HAS to be defeated in 2012, and Palin — much as I like her — isn’t going to get it done.

Do they? I've only seen two recently, which came in at 66 and 74 percent. Some would say that is consistent, since they are both substantial majorities. I would say that that is a huge amount of variation for about a week difference with nothing really happening, which makes me highly suspicious of the accuracy of the polling, and quite possibly the trustworthiness of the pollers.

I tend to agree with you....therefore, it sems that the big question, is when does she make an endorsement...if she came out for Perry this wekend..IMHO, it’s over...Mitt can go build his BIG house..

This is the same problem we had here in 2006 when very few on the site were willing to believe polls indicating a coming GOP defeat. While I do not take the polls as gospel, I no longer cynically dismiss them either. 2006 was a wake up call for me in that respect.
