The GOP has been backstabbing her since October 2008, and this is yet another dishonest poll...

http://www.langerresearch.com/uploads/1121a3%20Republican%20Candidates.pdf

METHODOLOGY – This ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted by telephone March 10-13, 2011, among a random national sample of 1,005 adults, including landline and cell-phone-only respondents. The results among the sample’s 378 leaned Republicans have a 6-point error margin. The survey was produced for ABC News by Langer Research Associates of New York, with sampling, data collection and tabulation by TNS of Horsham, PA.

Another ugly secret of these weekly hit polls is that they are conducted only in the big liberal cities and not in rural America.

And who's paying for them anyway? And why are they solely focused on Sarah Palin?

I don’t know if Palin is the only person I would vote for, but she is one of them.

Headline: Palin announces Run.
Unexpectedly surges in polls.

I don't recall the MSM telling us Palin had a high favorable rating back in October, and that was good news for her if she wanted to be President.

Funny that.

I omitted to say that ALL the pundits shelling SP are NOT conservatives by any real conservative measure.
In the LSM deluded minds only are they labeled as such so let “them” continue to drink that Cool Aide.

Seattle went 85% for Obama in 2008, if they ran a poll on Palin there, guess if the numbers would be skewed.

Yep, GOP Psy-Ops aimed at convincing her to not even try.

Next for GOP leaders: Stopping Sarah Palin

When General Palin announces the cavalry will form and fall in behind her.

This is the calm before the storm.

In the world or Karl Rove and Ari Flashdance a serious candidate would already be working the back rooms, selling their souls. Gov Palin represents a clear and present danger to Washington insider's way of life. I fully believe a Palin DOJ would really be interested in how a Senator can come to Washington dirt poor and leave 20 years later a millionaire many times over. I believe she would address the problem of representative or WH staffer one day, lobbyist the next day. The MUST take her out in the primaries because they know if she gets to the general they and Obie are toast

Have her poll numbers peaked? We will only know once she has been on the trail as a candidate for president. It’s called a campaign. There is a reason that candidates go out and talk to voters. Some candidates who seemed inevitable flopped and some who seemed unlikely got the nomination.

"I will only vote for Sarah Palin. If Romney or any other RINO, or anyone else is nominated, I WILL NOT VOTE!"

Not even for a scooby snack?

They think she has peaked? She will peak on election day.

They started by trying to convince her that she had insufficient support to run. She knew better. Then they try to erode support among her supporters by telling us that we don’t exist. We knew better. Then they tried whistling past the graveyard with the idea that “she’s not running”. We knew better. Now they are piling all those tactics together, “She doesn’t have enough support. Her supporters are bailing like rats on a sinking ship and she’s not running anyway.”

We know better.

If Romney is nominated, there will likely be a Tea Party candidate.

That’s why Dems will go heavy for him in open primary states - their version of Op Chaos.

With the opposition split, Baraq has a fair shot at a Clintonian plurality win.

378 republican leaners is a tiny sample. It establishes nothing other than the dishonesty of the Of ABC and the ComPost, which was already beyond cavil.

Memo to the MSM: She is running. But keep spending your money on these phony polls. You will have less ot run attack ads with in the general.
