Umm....

1) The poll wasn't limited to Freepers

2) FReepers comprise .0000 (you do the math) percent of the population of the country.

3) How does the fact that Palin is much more popular than Hillary on FR prove the poll wrong?

While there are methodological issues with how Gallup conducts this poll, it undoubtedly reflects reality.

What I've discovered over the years is people refuse to believe that ANY opinion they have is in the minority. That is, if a poll comes out where their personal view is in the minority in the poll, it's "proof" the poll is wrong. Is it some sort of ego/insecurity thing where people can't stomach the thought that they are in a minority?

Out here in the real world, anecdotally, Hillary is enormously popular, and the vast majority of the population either actively hates Palin, or doesn't take her seriously.

A couple months ago I was having a conversation with a co-worker (defense industry, he's a former particle physicist, he's a Republican, voted Republican for President from Reagan through McCain) who thought I was pulling his leg when I told him I read a message board where a bunch of people want Palin to run for President - he thought it was a joke.
