Sarah Palins unfavorable rating is off the charts.

The former Alaska governors numbers are astonishingly upside-down, according to a new Bloomberg poll showing a 32 percentage point spread between those who have an unfavorable rating of Palin and those who view her favorably.
Of the 60 percent in the poll who have an unfavorable opinion of Palin, more than half of them 38 percent among the whole survey said they have a very unfavorable view of Palin.
Her very unfavorable rating is higher than the total favorability ratings of Newt Gingrich, Donald Trump and Chris Christie.
The new poll is a dip from a December Bloomberg poll showing Palin with a net favorable rating of 33 percent and a net unfavorable rating of 57 percent.
The survey is just one more indicator that if Palin were to run, she'd face a very strong headwind whenever trying to reach out to voters beyond her hardcore supporters.
More people surveyed had an opinion of Palin than any other politician surveyed except for Barack Obama, indicating that her numbers are not likely to swing wildly one way or the other.
The poll of 1,001 adults was conducted March 4-7 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
Okay, I was a "NIXON GIRL" ( and if you don't know what they were, I suggest that you find out ), as well as working on his campaign. My family also knew him and Pat. I know that you call me a liar, which is why I didn't post this earlier.
I grew up knowing and have known as an adult, many conservative and GOP politicians, advisers, leading lights, but I don't drop that info to make myself look better; as you have tried to do. I doubt that you know anyone and that you are just trying to puff yourself up now.
You haven't answered any of my questions, though you have now dropped an elitist bomb of sorts. Reagan didn't go to an Ivy, wasn't a Rhodes Scholar, so no wonder you believe that Hillary is "brighter" than he was. And by your criteria, that means that the likes of Nixon, Garfield, Hayes, Van Buren, Lincoln, Harrison, LBJ, and a bunch of others were much lesser lights than Carter or Slick Willie.
Oh good grief.........that canard about Palin and how long it took her to get through college and the fact that she went to more than one ?
I bet that you believe that Obama is brilliant, even though we don't know what his grades were. LOL
I am right now thinking of several famous people who I have that relationship or better. The reason I never bring these up is because they are factually impossible for an anonymous person to prove. For instance, Rush Limbaugh is a member of my golf club. I can have him on the phone right after I hit send on this posting. He doesn't want Sara Palin to run for president, and he would certainly agree with me that Carter and Clinton are inherently smarter than Palin. All of these are facts that I can not prove, which therefore help my argument in no way. I have this relationship or better with two former presidents, two SCOTUS justices, a Joint Chiefs Chairman, a Secretary of State, Reagan's chief economic advisor, NYC's mayor during 9/11, a NYC entrepeneur who will run for president, a former Tennessee Senator who ran for president. All of these people have great respect for Sarah Palin. None of them want her to run for president. Again, I don't bring any of these relationships up, because they never help my position.
Now, when you are able to present an example from Sarah Palin's intellectual past that compares to graduating in the top 10% of her class at the US Naval Adademy, please get back to me. Otherwise, all you are doing here is disagreeing with presented facts and thinking that helps your argument.
I’ve said, supporting Republicans is just wasting precious time. Feel free to waste as much as you want. Just don’t complain to me that your Party won’t do anything.
