60% Say Palin Run Would Hurt the GOP

Rasmussen Reports ^ | 9/2/11 | Rasmussen

[CA Conservative]

A plurality (47%) of Likely U.S. Voters believe it is at least somewhat likely that Palin will enter the presidential race, but that includes only 13% who feel it’s Very Likely. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 35% think a Palin bid is unlikely, but just five percent (5%) say it’s Not At All Likely. Eighteen percent (18%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Only 18% of voters think it would be good for Republicans if Palin entered the race. Sixty percent (60%) say it would be bad for the party, while 11% predict it would have no impact. Twelve percent (12%) are not sure.

Even most Republicans (52%) believe it would be bad for the GOP if Palin threw her hat in the ring, a view shared by 74% of Democrats and 54% of voters not affiliated with either major party.

I sure hope your right. But, you know how Repubs are..snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

As long as the face of the GOP is Boehner, Meghann McCain, John McLame, ect... I will not give one dime to the GOP.

Every time they send me mail asking for money I always send it back (since they pay for shipping) and say IMPEACH OBAMA IMPEACH ERIC HOLDER!!!

I suggest everyone do the same. You can be creative and send them other messages like "you voted for raising the debt ceiling, drop dead". Heck,there are millions of things you can say to them. Just make sure it's a pre paid envelope I wouldn't waste a stamp on the GOP as long as they are the party of RINOS.

The press have been single-mindedly gunning for Sarah for years, inasmuch as she represents - perhaps more than any other candidate in memory - normal, decent American values.

Such values are now anathema to the congregation of misfits, con artists, and hustlers which constitutes the Left.

This “survey” is half fiction and half manufactured ill will.

[Windflier]

In the three years since, all I've seen out of the GOP is the Republican leadership and its operatives plunging their knives into Palin's back, and leaving her all alone to fight against the Rat lib attacks, both in Alaska and after Tucson. I therefore have NO loyalty to the GOP or its other candidates.

Exactly. Where were the other candidates in the last few years while Sarah was being virtually stabbed to death by vitriolic attacks from the left?

Did a single one of them stand up and say "Stop it!"? I don't remember any of them coming to her defense. They sure did court her endorsements, though, didn't they?

As far as I'm concerned, they've all failed the personal integrity test, and can take a flying leap.

It was simply another verbal bomb with no proof. That’s happening a lot around here lately.

[Resettozero]

Again, sir, +1

[PMAS]

Hillary had the media against her and they were all in for Obama.

No fear, just facts. In a more perfect world people would see Palin as the best choice to bring this country back to it’s founding principles.

Unfortunately, we do not live on that world.

Just a fact that Palin would not win enough independents to beat Obama, and unfortunately we need them to beat Obama.

If every American sat down to watch “The Undefeated”, those “unqualified” numbers would shrink to however many leftist Independents and Democrats were willing to lie to the pollster. Bob

LMAO!!!!

What a riot! Palin had nothing at all to do with the making of that film. Where does she supposedly say these things about Cantor, et al?

I give you points for originality. Nobody has ever said that before. 10 point bonus for New Palin Smear. Well done!

8^D

[DJ MacWoW]

Why do you constantly lie? Palin had NOTHING to do with making the Undefeated. She only gave them access.

Take complaints up with Bannon if you don't like him telling the truth about Rinos.

Spot on.

[Gargantua]

If you have evidence Sarah Palin said this, put it forth!!!

Sarah Palin is the back stabber. Have you seen “The Undefeated”? This film stabbed Boehner, Cantor and McConnell in the back by alleging they are corrupt and unethical. Sarah Palin is a slanderer. If she has evidence they are corrupt, put it forth!!!

DID SARAH PALIN MAKE THE FILM?

DID SHE HAVE AUTHORITY OVER THE CONTENT?

HINT: the answer is no to both questions, but let me elabortate further since this isn't the first time you've tried to SMEAR HER WITH THIS SAME CRAP.

Boehner, Cantor and McConnell ALL SOLD OUT THE TEA PARTY PATRIOTS WE elected to Congress and bent over for the Marxist and now we're stuck with their *special committee*, when in fact, the TEA PARTY patriots held the cards and could have forced a repeal of obamacare.

[LibLieSlayer]

Because if Palin is elected... the rino party’s party is over.

LLS

[CA Conservative]

But that image is media/RINO establishment created. Same as when she was in Alaska. She turned that around. She can do the same here with the same strategy...go directly to the people.

Two minor points of dispute. First her approval rating in Alaska has gone way down since 2008, so I don't know that she "turned that around". Second, she has been "going directly to the people" for the last three years, and her numbers haven't improved. That doesn't mean she can't do it - it just means that things are not going to miraculously turn around just by her announcing a run for president.

[DJ MacWoW]

No fear, just facts.

No facts. Crystal ball. You are deciding an outcome before there's a race and you are using fear to do it. YOU can let fear rule you. I won't.

[WVKayaker]

Sarah Palin is a slanderer.

Slanderer? That is your recent chosen role on FreeRepublic, apparently. Your lies, lies, and more lies never cease. You have been informed that Governor Palin had nothing to do with the documentary film, yet you continue to lie about it and mislead with your comments and attacks.

Granny, you are nothing but a TROLL, with obvious motives to besmirch her in any way you can. You need to find a different place to represent your role, or to seek serious help with your PDS. As Jim Robinson has stated, this is Palin country. I have not seen him retract that statement! He says what he means, and means what he says.

I’m beginning to think that Conservativegreatgrandma is stark raving mad, and I’m not kidding.
