So unfav: Palin's poll plunge
Politico ^ | 3/10/11 | ANDY BARR

Posted on 03/10/2011 12:14:20 PM PST by presidio9

Sarah Palin’s unfavorable rating is off the charts.

Continue Reading

The former Alaska governor’s 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.

She hasn’t been in the news much lately, except to respond to Kathy Griffin’s threat to harass her daughter, Willow.

Hating Sarah Palin is simply fashionable, I guess.

First of all, you have to take anything from Politico with a grain of salt. Second: Notice it says adults, not registered or likely voters. The poll is laughable

"Her “very” unfavorable rating is higher than the total favorability ratings of Newt Gingrich, Donald Trump and Chris Christie."

Confirming that she's the one they fear the most.

Go, Sarah, GO!!

The odd thing is... her detractors can’t specifically name one particular thing that makes her so “detestable.”

Even the vaunted, sainted journalist of journalists Carl Bernstein faked himself out when Joe Scarborough asked why he felt she was “ignorant.” Other than citing the Tina Fey line of “seeing Russia from her house,” Bernstein couldn’t name one issue about which Palin has such ignorance.

Of the 60%, over half would be committed Democrat ideologues; who could be expected to express an unfavorable opinion of any putative conservative candidate. The large majority of the remainder are expressing a negative opinion of the MSM construct of Palin. If formed my opinions entirely on what I see, or hear in the MSM; I'd likely express a negative opinion of Palin. Actually, I'd just have a negative opinion of the character that the MSM constructed for their narrative of the alternate reality they occupy.

This is what the LSM says because they and their puppet-master the Kenyan usurper fear her. She obviously is getting to them to inspire such vitriol. As an old bomber pilot, (my dad), told me - you get the most flak when you're right over the target.

Ground-truthing the REAL DEAL suggests that Politico needs a warning label.

The poll of 1,001 adults was conducted March 4-7

Not likely voters, not registered voters, just barely breathing warm bodies.

The margin of error is 3.4% but the margin for fraud is 59%.

BS!

I went out and talked to the American people. 85% of them had a very favorable opinion of Sarah Palin. 84.5% of them are going to vote for Sarah Palin for president.

MOE +/- 1.5%, YMMV, not available in MA, NY, or RI, consult your doctor if PDS symptoms appear.

TARP, supporting McCain’s mortgage scheme, appointing a planned parenthood apparatchik to the Alaskan Supreme Court, her squish on DADT, her pork addiction,her identity politics,Amnesty, etc,etc...her general lack of a conservative position on anything...
