Poll postulates Palin popularity plunges precipitously

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.

One of my favorite Palin speeches from the campaign. Inspirational.

Palin2012, Restore American Liberty

Liberalism = Steal, Kill, Destroy = Barry

Conservatism = Life, Life more abundantly, Freedom = Sarah

No contest!

The noun or adjective? ;)

I was thinking of the (plural) noun, but I trust your abilities - use whichever you think fits the best. :-)

Nicely done.

The way things are going, Sarah Palin will soon have more fans on Facebook than the LA Times will have readers.

Put that in your crack pipe and smoke it, LA Times.

Thank you, thank you very much! Viva la Free Republic!

Obama was at 65-29 in May, now he’s at 53-40 in Gallup. His decline is even worse in Rasmussen. If Palin’s decline is a serious drop, then what is Obama’s? SO far he’s worse at this point than W, Bush41, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, LBJ, Kennedy, Ike, basically every President ever except Clinton. Way to go, Barry.
