Once billed as the most popular governor in America, Alaska Republican Sarah Palin has seen her popularity take a dive. According to a recent Hays Research poll, 54% of Alaskans have either a very or somewhat positive view of the governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee while 42% have a very or somewhat negative view. The results are vastly different than a similar poll taken by Hays Research about a year ago which gave Palin an 86% positive rating and a 9% negative rating.

Propaganda works on the sheep, apparently.
There will always be the blind, gullable masses that are too simple or lazy to find out the truth and the liberals know this - that’s how Obama became president.
Is Alaska mostly populated with Rats?
I war referring to the constant anti-Palin drumbeat in the Leftist media.
I agree with many of these responses to you post, however, the article ignores an important element Palin has experienced. The many Democrats of Alaska may have loved her as a Governor, based upon her good management skills, but then began to despise her when the idea that she might lead the country away from the left-bent they want for national issues (abortion, homosexuality, etc.) She cannot affect these state-wide, but nationally she would be dangerous to them.
"The Wall Street Journal’s Susan Davis:
“There May Be No Better Sign Of” McCain’s “Growing Strength In New Hampshire” Than Romney Attack Ad.
“There may be no better sign of Sen. John McCain’s growing strength in New Hampshire than Mitt Romney’s decision to go negative today on him in a statewide television ad.”
(Susan Davis, “Romney Goes Negative In New Hampshire,” The Wall Street Journal’s Washington Wire Blog, 12/28/07)
Therefore, one wonders if this is yet another Team Romney attack.
Alaska PING!
She has refrained thus far from getting into a public debate with her detractors. Unless she wants to just get gossiped into the basement along with Bush, she’s going to need to answer soon.
Do Katie Couric and Bill Maher speak Spanish?
Before they were told, the Democrats didn’t know they were supposed to hate her, so they liked her. Just like Arlen Specter thought Justice required Coleman getting the Senate Seat, before he was told what he was supposed to believe.
As has been said here....Polls are instruments of propaganda when used this way. Screw the WSJ!
Lies/propaganda have always been used by the liberals to sway the lazy, under educated, koolaid drinking masses. Of course since they have Follywood and Soros among others, they can ratchet it up to a decimal point we have yet to hear.
No doubt about that.
Yes, there’s been a fair number of items posted here from the Anchorage Daily News, and all of them were negative. It’s obvious that the Alaskan press has joined the rest of the MSM.
Plus the constant lawsuits claiming she is abusing her office.
Plust the constant complaints that she needs to stay in Alaska and avoid going to any more national events.
The slime machine at work.
Fox News could put up “expose the Demonrats” specials opposite other networks’ slots for carrying Obama messages. Instead of “Lie to Me” it would be “How They Have Lied to You.”
Yeah, the locals would have burnt her church regardless of what the media said about her.
Not even the tough people of Alaska can resist the constant drumming of the pop media.
However, those who judge the accuracy of a poll by the poll's results are misguided.
Is there a repercussion in Alaska against anybody who spends time in the “lower 48?”...they’ve gotten “city-fied.”
Sadly, our entire population is deluded.
