Sarah Palin, the wife of a popular Arctic snowmachine racer who also once served as Alaska's first female governor, seems to find her own popularity plummeting.
According to numbers atop a new poll by CNN/Opinion Research the popular hockey mom's favorable rating in a survey of at least 1,136 adult Americans has plunged seven points since May. A significant drop.
She went from 46% favorable down to 39% a few days after she experienced premature resignation and left office 17 months early to save Alaska from more partisan attacks on her. And, who knows, maybe plan some future political activity in other states.
Palin, who plucked Sen. John McCain from political obscurity in Arizona as her GOP presidential ticket running mate last summer, enjoyed her highest popularity right after a rousing speech at the Republican convention in early September. She was at 57% then, but much higher among Republicans and conservatives.

Does make me wonder if the LA Times has quit cheating on its postage and lieing to its advertisers about circulation.
In the last sentence we also learn that the margin of error for the smaller Republican poll sample is +/- 6.5 points. Which means, statistically speaking, that Palin could actually be just about as popular right now as she was in May, despite all the ensuing ethics/resignation/quitting kerfluffle.
Pfft! Pish posh.
LA Times you wish it were true. A CNN poll? Yeah, there are a lot of Palinites hanging out at CNN.
Prepare to be sued.
Rasmussen and PPP will have polls on Palin next week. PPP has already stated they don't believe these CNN numbers. They're a Dem-leaning pollster but a serious, professional outfit.
Considering the constant battering that Sarah's had to withstand, this is astonishing.
And, I'm sure, very distressing to the slugs in the media, who have accused her of everything except molesting the Mr. Softee man.
Even the article gets it more accurately than you do, chief.
She did well to go because she knew jolly well to stay would have cost the state of Alaska millions until the loophole could be fixed in the ethics law. This wasn’t just a “partisan” problem drawing abuse (there were no hits on the Republican Lt. Governor once he took her former seat); it was personal hatred at her.
Piffle.
Sure thing. You betcha.
Read the article. You’ll be crushed.
It’s absurd opening sentences like this that keep me from reading fishwrap.
Yhea...the "Monica Lewinsky" / Government (APoop/NYT/WaPoop/ABCNNBcBS/pBS/FauxNcBc)
Media, strikes sucks / bites it again.
15 minutes? Methinks not.
She writes a Facebook entry on obamacare “death panels” and the White house and MSM jumps.
LAT Profits Plunge Precipitously.
Progressives Weep.
One more time. With feeling...
It's absurd opening sentences like that that keep me from reading fishwrap!!!
“Barack the Magic Negro...la,la,la laa...the LA times, they called him that cause he Black but not authentically......” Sung by Al Sharpton!
This piece is just bizarre. I gather it’s supposed to be humor. Or maybe just the effects of some of that good California Medical Marijuana we keep hearing so much about?
Sarah is introduced in the article as a wife of a popular Arctic snowmachine racer?
She went from 46% favorable down to 39% a few days after she experienced premature resignation and left office 17 months early to save Alaska from more partisan attacks on her.
Her resignation is suggestively described using words that suggests a comparison to a sexual inadequacy problem.
And, who knows, maybe plan some future political activity in other states.
Is that even correct grammar
Is this article for real?
This LA Times article reads like some vindictive 9 year-old wrote it.
Unbelievable.
Really.
