Poll: Republican Voters Say Palin Should Stay Out of Race (66% Tea Party voters agree)

Wall Street Journal ^ | Sept. 2, 2011 | Danny Yadron

[Clairity]

Two-thirds of self-described tea party voters said Ms. Palin should not run for president, and 71% of all GOP voters said Ms. Palin should remain on the sidelines. Expand the survey to the entire electorate, and 74% don't think she should run.

Ms. Palin still placed third in a survey of GOP primary voters, polling at 8% behind Mitt Romney with 18% and Texas Gov. Rick Perry with 26%.

Draw your own conclusions.

They didn’t ask me.

You conduct polls to shape public opinion, not measure it.

It's the internal polls that matter, and we don't get to see those.

Why don't they conduct the same type of poll for Paul or Gingrich or Huckabee or Romney or the RINO cowboy?

Because they'd get the same results, that's why.

But single out Sarah, and it looks like it means something.

The longer she delays announcing her candidacy, the longer she keeps the ruling-class RINOs, state-controlled media, DemocRAT and Republican opponents, etc. in complete and total disarray.

Why should she give up her strategic advantage?

To make it "fair" for the RINOs and 'Rats?

Palin is coming, and the Tea Party is coming with her.

Going by this, we shouldn’t allow primaries to be held. Just have some poll a year and ahalf out and then cut right to the establishment candidate.

Yup, same old same old will save the country. Go fo the status quo! Don’t stick your head up once you’ve been slimed by the left, just crawl in a hole and die. Don’t fight on, just succumb! That’s the good old American spirit, give up and die so your betters can make decisions for you.

Resistance is futile!

I am inspired by your post! I think I’ll just go kill myself, so much easier than bucking the tide.

I wish more people would take a look at Buddy Roemer, former governor of Louisiana, and US Congressman. Got into trouble by opposing the Red River Navigation Project which is probably the kind of government boondogle that many of us would be against. Recently gave a really interesting speach/history lesson on the role of tarrifs in US prosperity, with definite comments regarding China and our debt. He has years of business experience, founded two banks, and has done business in person in China.

Really now? What could she possibly be waiting for? Yes, she has lots of time before the primaries but as a leader, she needs to come out now.

[JaguarXKE]

Ok, my conclusion: BS.

[tarotsailor]

I’m sure they checked all their Tea Party membership cards with their TELEVISION MAGIC and there wasn’t a Dem or a Rino or a lying sack of s*** among them.

Urine is running in the gutters in DC.

[JaguarXKE]

Reagan waited until November. I’m not concerned.

Palin has had two years to fix her very high negatives among the broader GOP, to say nothing of the broader electorate. It hasn't happened.

Announcing for POTUS won't make it happen by magic either...though it may extend the shelf life of brand Palin a bit.

[tirednvirginia]

You should be worried.

[cripplecreek]

Well if a poll says so, who are we to argue?

LOL

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Yes, she has lots of time before the primaries but as a leader, she needs to come out now.

If you know so much, why aren't you running for President?

Evidently you want the same old thing we always get, because you want it the same old way.

[tirednvirginia]

She’s not leading but she is making a speech.

Sarah Louise Palin

Born February 11, 1964 in Sandpoint, ID (Meets the Jus Soli Requirement)

Parents were
Charles R Heath, born in ID
Sarah Sheeran, born in WI

Both parents were US Citizens at the time of her birth (Meets the Jus Sanguinis Requirement)

Sarah Palin is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN

Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama ISN'T!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

So explain how the RINO cowboy is leading by making speeches.

[tirednvirginia]

No Sarah is the one only making speeches.

“You conduct polls to shape public opinion, not measure it.”

No truer words will be written on FR today.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The RINO cowboy has only been in for three weeks.

Wasn't he negligent by not entering the race sooner?

The more Palin waits, the more her polls go down. She should have announced for president right after helping the Republicans win the last election. She should have focused on the issues with her powerful charisma. With persistence and courage she could have proved she is of presidential timber.

Instead she has been wandering all over the place. Will she run, or won’t she? No wonder her polls go down.
