They are going after her with everything they have.

[excopconservative]

Notably, the Democratic Party (48 percent favorable, 33 percent unfavorable), the GOP (43 percent favorable, 48 percent unfavorable) and even the Tea Party (37 percent favorable, 41 percent unfavorable) all received higher marks than Palin.

They are more scared than even I thought.

This survey skews +15 to the dems and -5 to Republicans. Gov. Palin is 57% negative in a survey that only views Republicans as 43% positive. What that says is that everyone who views the Republicans as positive does not view Palin negatively.

These guys just saw a partial wave election (west coast not included). They fear a full wave election which will happen if Gov. Palin is the nominee.

[Leisler]

Vs....

( Yeah, good luck salt/fat shorty twerp boy.)

[yield 2 the right]

Count this FReeper as one of the smart 57%!

[Kickass Conservative]

So, we have almost two years to educate the ignorant Palin haters on the Constitution and the things that they attribute to Governor Palin that Tina Fey actually said.

[papertyger]

Hey, this is great news!

Remember Hillary’s negatives before she was in the Senate?

Now even the republicans would sweep her in if it meant getting rid of Obama.

There's something about a woman who doesn't abort her own children that drives the libs absolutely insane, and they make no effort to hide their rage. I really love how she drives the moonbats crazy.

But our disgraceful national news media destroyed her once already in 2008, and I am not looking forward to the sequel if she becomes the GOP nominee.

[Billthedrill]

They are going after her with everything they have.

Yes, they are. They are absolutely terrified of this woman, and I think the reason it's inexplicable is that it isn't entirely sane. Fascinating thing to watch, actually, especially when you consider "whom the gods would destroy they first make mad."

I can tell you this much: disapproval turns to approval much more quickly than indifference does, especially in the face of this blast furnace of insane hatred. If she articulates her positions and sticks to them, the haters are done.

[unseen1]

you need to read the internals and it will explain the results:

In politics as of today, do you consider yourself a Republican, Democrat, or independent?
26 Republican
31 Democrat
40 Independent
1 Other (VOL)
2 Refused/not sure

[CharlesWayneCT]

Yes, curse those 57%; if we could only get rid of them, things would work out fine. /sarc

Clearly, the problem is letting people do polls. We need to stop all this polling for opinions — because to paraphrase another freeper from earlier today, if we don’t know what people think, it will be like they aren’t thinking it.

[OldPossum]

This doesn’t surprise me. After all, the people who watch ABC/CBS/NBC and other liberal-controlled outlets get non-stop negative reporting on her.

[RichInOC]

In January 1991, pretty much nobody was seriously telling the pollsters they wanted a Democrat for their next president. In January 1993, Bill Clinton was getting sworn in. A lot can happen in two years.

[IoCaster]

These polls are virtually meaningless.

Does anyone seriously believe that Obama will get anywhere near the votes in 2012 that he got in 2008?

Does anyone seriously believe that Sarah Palin will get less votes than the McCain/Palin ticket got in 2008?

If she can win the nomination then all she has to do is carry the 2008 total and grab a minimal percentage of the independent voters to work the EC and get to 270. It's not beyond her capabilities to do that by any stretch.

She needs to focus on winning the same states as 2008 and flipping some states like FL, IN, CO, IA, NV, NM, OH and VA. This is not an insurmountable goal.

The Bloomberg survey, released Monday, (and covering NYC?)

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

[factmart]

I was around for Reagan and Palin is Reagan in High Heels! But she is better looking, Reagan was not in his prime.

Palin is quicker in getting her words out than any politician in the last 50 years, this is a sign she says what she believes!

Finally, someone who tells the Truth!

Some people seems to think a woman can’t run this country, that’s another reason why she needs to be the first woman President!

She would do a lot to hurt the men having sex with men lifestyle,

Normal would be back in again!

That’s probably the biggest reason that the anti Palin freepers keeping spurring out all the same negatives Reagan lived with, yes, our token liberal democrat Trolls and with their sick lifestyle)!

[dixiechick2000]

“he Bloomberg poll was conducted Dec. 4 to 7, surveyed 1,000 U.S. adults and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percent.”

“Adults”

Why does the media continue to have their panties in a wad about her if she’s not a threat?

[upsdriver]

More troubling for Palin is that it may be tough for her to change that perception. Only 10 percent are unsure of their opinion of her.

That's a load of crap. Most people are sheep. My prediction is that should Palin build momentum towards primary victory, many of those cocksure people will jump on the bandwagon. At the moment it is more popular, conventional wisdom wise, to say they oppose her. That will change.

[erlayman]

Well, to break things down a little as they stand now: her opinion poll favorability numbers are slightly over 20 and his approval ratings the low 40’s. So for Palin to beat Obama third party candidate would have to run. And it would have to be a perfect storm of the economy not recovering, Obama not rebounding in the polls and the Republicans picking Palin.

And even under that narrow scenario, if a spoiler like Bloomberg DID get in the race it would most likely take votes from the Republican and hand the White House back to Obama.Whether he asked for it or not. lol

[factmart]

They said Reagan didn’t have good favor-ables either!
