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.

You may not agree with what they did politically but that does NOT make them corrupt. Still, no one has ever produced one bit of evidence they are corrupt. The film was a lie and Palin took advantage of it.

A Sarah Palin presidential victory would hurt the establishment GOP but it would Rescue the country and the restore the Reagan Republican party.

Good post! I will be happy to vote for Sarah. At least, if she wins, I won't have to cross my fingers and hope she doesn't screw it up, like I would with any of the other republicans.

Welcome to FR.

I'm sure you see the crowds she draws, and media coverage she gets everywhere she goes, right?

She’s failed to repair her reputation and image at all with the general public. Defeated.

I like opinions, they are like a$$holes, everybody has one.

You may do well here...and then again, maybe not so much.

They say one thing and do another. That's corrupt. They play along with Obama. That's corrupt. They gave Obama EVERYTHING he wanted. That's corrupt. They are SUPPOSED to represent us. They don't.

The film was a lie

That's your OPINION only. YOU defend Rinos. The rest of us choose NOT to.

I have a feeling that the coming months will end up in frustration for Palin’s “supporters”. (Oxymoron)

Well then... might as well get started not caring. Palin`s chances of winning the WH are all but nil.

Poor Sarah Palin, she was so victimized she now makes $12 million a year. This woman is crying all the way to the bank and yet the Palinistas here on FR still want to portray her as some kind of victim. A victim, she is not.

I've never, ever thought of Sarah Palin as a victim. She sure doesn't consider herself one. No, I view her as a kindred spirit. She is a warrior, a hero, a tower of strength but definitely not a victim.

People like to bring up the money aspects of Palin. I'm thinking it is those people who spend their lives focused on money. The Palins aren't the kind of people who are driven by money nor am I, which is why I can sense that about them. They are simple folks who would enjoy a simple life if they didn't feel duty bound to change things they believe need changing.

I think it's sad that so many freepers don't possess the insight to recognize that.

Prove who is a liar. It isn't Palin. Post sources and links. Or shut up.

I've about had ENOUGH of your insane rants. You cannot and have not proved ANY of your attacks on Sarah Palin. Never. Not one. Give links and sources or shut your mouth.

Conservativegreatgrandma might be drinking. Her posts sure sound like it. Wild, uncouth and slanderous accusations and attacks against Sarah Palin for a film she didn’t make.

I had to take one more look at this thread and onyx you have had me laughing today!!!

A lot of these trolls I've never seen before. All those trolls that viciously attacked me back in May suddenly fell off the face of FR. I am with DJ that a lot of these people made accounts a while back simply to try and claim they are vets.

But yeah granny either is off the meds or on the booze because each post is progressively worse than the previous post. Maybe it was a bad batch of moonshine.

Here’s a thread with more than one person willing to sit on their ass if Palin isn’t the nominee and let 0bama win.

I’m only fired up to help Palin win the presidency. If that isn’t to be, I’m saying goodbye to all politics and just enjoy my retirement.

I don’t know but the posts are hateful. So many are. Some posters have come to believe that they can post any smear and not have to prove it. This is FR, not middle school.

LOL. Well, good. I am happy you are laughing. You can’t take these trolls and other mindless haters and naysayers too seriously or you’ll go nutz too. Just consider the source, try to laugh it off and whenever you think they’ve really crossed the line, “hit abuse” or dare to ping poor Jim, like DJ and I sometimes do!

Seriesly, the vast majority of our members are truly good people and are willing to engage in lively and honest debate, but there’s always a few that troll threads looking to incite and today has been one of those trolling days. Whenever there’s a plethora of Palin threads, the trolls & PDSers flock to them like flies to a family picnic.

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.

Actually, she didn't turn it around as far as showing she is qualified to be POTUS, she turned things around financially as she went the celebrity route. I think if she hadn't gone the reality tv route she would be polling better. This number is consistent with the other polls.
