Though former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was not included in a Public Policy Polling survey of potential 2016 Republican presidential contenders, she was still overwhelmingly the most liked person among Republican primary voters. According to Public Policy Polling:

The best liked person we tested on this poll with Republican primary voters is actually Sarah Palin who has a 70/20 favorability rating. She's followed by Huckabee at 64/18, Ryan at 58/18, Paul at 58/21, Bush at 56/18, Cruz at 45/20, and Christie at 40/38. Most of those numbers are similar to what they were a month ago but Christie's seen a substantial drop from +18 at 47/29 a month ago to his new +2 net favorability.

The left-leaning polling outfit asked Republican primary voters, "Given the choices of Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, Bobby Jindal, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan, and Scott Walker, who would you most like to see as the GOP candidate for President in 2016?"

Huckabee led among the group with 16% to 14% for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush; 13% for Chris Christie;

You’re focused on Palin’s activities since her governorship and her vice presidential run.

The same would only be fair of Gingrich.

What has he been doing? Consulting, media, publications....exactly the same as Palin.

For whatever reason, you don’t have substantial reasons for dismissing this particular conservative, this Sarah Palin.

If you want to say something like, “I like Perry better because of his multiple terms as Texas governor, his jobs record, and they are much better than Palin’s credentials”, then I’ll say that you’re saying something with substance. In the meantime, you’re trying to diminish the actual experience of a very accomplished woman, and that’s simply not possible. Her record is substantial. It stands on its own. If she were my daughter I’d have a bumper sticker that reads: “My daughter is an honor student at Presidential University”
