POLL: SARAH PALIN HAS HIGHEST FAVORABILITY RATING AMONG GOP PRIMARY VOTERS
Breitbart ^ | Wednesday January 29, 2014

Posted on 01/29/2014 8:20:02 PM PST by Bigtigermike

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;

I think Palin is so well-loved that the people will NOT LET the media trash her they way they always do. Media talking heads will see anger they have never experienced before.

We have had enough, there just has been no candidates worth defending.

‘Mitt’ Romney? ...meh John McLame? don’t make me spew.

Are you willing to be defeated before the fight even starts?

Stop talking that way. I mean it. How do you get to be a backwoods engineer unless you are tougher than that.

In days gone by I referred to Sarah as ‘The American version of Margaret Thatcher’. I still believe it is so.

God ain’t dead, and isn’t even close to giving up America. What the test here is, will America stop giving up God.

That's a pretty good summation of the problem facing us.

Okay, RNC and GOPe, listen up. Read this again:

"The best liked person we tested on this poll with Republican primary voters is actually Sarah Palin who has a 70/20 favorability rating."

Got it? Now consider this:

Hillary is going to be the Democrat nominee. Agreed?

Okay, the only way to combat the sexist and 'war on women' cards is to run a woman against Hillary. ANY male will not win against Hillary, the MSM will see to that.

So, if Sarah runs, you neutralize the cards plus the 6-10 million conservatives who stayed home in 2008 and 2012 will come out and vote in droves. Six million will win the election.

Palin/Cruz, Palin/Paul, Palin/Lee. . take your pick.

It's your call. . But if you want to WIN the Presidency in 2016. . .

Did I say, or even imply, that Hillary was the "standard"?

No, I did not.

So, may I ask in return: Though you are evidently uninformed and know little of Gov. Palin's accomplishments, would you not agree they amount to more than Hillary's accomplishments -- which I suspect you're quite familiar with?

Amongst REAL BASE VOTERS, Sarah is likely at 99% and Cruz is at 99%. huckster is not popular with any of the TEA Party or Base voters that I know and he would be soundly defeated by any democrat. Liberals sure do like to force losers on us.

Really? Does that service include supporting McCain and Hatch?

Don't be an ignoramus. Her record of service has nothing to do with her political endorsements.

It appears to me as though the (to put it politely) “Nuts to you” attitude of the Obama Admin., Democrats, and RINO’s is a tactic as well as a misconception of their positions as “public servants”.

It seems to me they utilize the “Nuts to you” tactic to create a shroud of political apathy over America to reduce resistance to their cause.

IOW American’s as we have seen are politically more aware of prominent names (name recognition, and party) in the news as opposed to a politician’s real political stance. A minority of Americans it seems break from the apathy to focus upon the reality of the political scene today such as we at FR, and lesser forums.

IF this weren’t plausible then how the ‘H’ do Huckabee, Bush, and Christie warrant such numbers?

It’s all a choreographed dance number involving the Left, Leftist influenced media, and International Corporations mostly of Leftist bent with lots of money, and no loyalties to anything but their bottom line, and no loyalty to any nation that doesn’t serve their bottom line goals.

Weak on the Second Amendment will not get it... weak on right to life will not get it... I will work to destroy any candidate that is either.
