60% Say Palin Run Would Hurt the GOP
Rasmussen Reports ^ | 9/2/11 | Rasmussen

Posted on 09/02/2011 12:33:40 PM PDT by 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.

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

Unfortunately, the people most likely to watch that movie already support Sarah.

boehner and mcconnell are both pos back stabbers. They BOTH pushed Cap and Balance as the bill that the republicans would push... the bill that they would send to the Senate... but even as they were selling their bullsh!t to all of us... they were meeting in private with obama, reid and pelosi to put together the bill that they passed... knowing that it was the bill that was going to pass. I call that lying and scheming in private and that is called corruption.

Back again for more Palin bashing? You are PDS personified. Why not give it a rest and avoid Palin threads for a few months..it'll lower your blood pressure.

Second, she would be wise to attend the debate on Tuesday as an observer! Can you imagine what her very presence would do? Without saying a single word, she would win it, hands down.....plus, she'd get a pretty good in-site on potential opponents.

HAHAHAHA that is so true!!! But Sarah has class and wouldn't go to any event sponsored by MSNBC.

Will they have that cow Maddow moderate? I think this further proves how bad the candidates are that they would go on MSNBC. That's like the idiot token conservative stupid enough to go on Bill Maher or those tools on Comedy Central.

No matter who’s the final ‘12 GOP Presidential candidate, defeat Barack Obama and the left, on November 7, 2012!

Again, you are stating an outcome for a race that has not even begun and using Romney as a fear factor. Did you know that a lot of 2008 sign ups have turned out to be trolls? They all signed up about the time of the election.

I don't think she will be the nominee, and if she somehow got the nomination, I don't think she will win.

Fair enough. We all make our own observations and draw our own conclusions. Mine just happen to be exactly the reverse of yours.

It's one reason that I've slowed down on posting my thoughts and opinions about the Republican primary. I've seen enough over the last couple of years to have made up my mind about who I'm going to support, and that's Sarah Palin. I'm done arguing with others about it.

My attention has become more or less fixed on when, not if, she'll enter the race, and what I'll have to do to help her win.

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

i was on the phone that was a bizarre post out of left field. Sounds like that lady came down with Alzheimer's.

Too damn bad. If you think some of us are going to blindly support the (R), you’ve for another thing coming. And you can blame those who put party first- not those of us who are tired of being stabbed in the back the GOP/RNC.
