Though former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was not included in a Public Policy Polling survey of potential 2016 Republican presidential contenders, she was still overwhelmingly the most liked person among Republican primary voters. According to Public Policy Polling:
The best liked person we tested on this poll with Republican primary voters is actually Sarah Palin who has a 70/20 favorability rating. She's followed by Huckabee at 64/18, Ryan at 58/18, Paul at 58/21, Bush at 56/18, Cruz at 45/20, and Christie at 40/38. Most of those numbers are similar to what they were a month ago but Christie's seen a substantial drop from +18 at 47/29 a month ago to his new +2 net favorability.
The left-leaning polling outfit asked Republican primary voters, "Given the choices of Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, Bobby Jindal, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan, and Scott Walker, who would you most like to see as the GOP candidate for President in 2016?"
Huckabee led among the group with 16% to 14% for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush; 13% for Chris Christie;

Ah, but consider these headlines:
"Senator Palin holds hearings on Obama's executive orders."
"Senator Palin holds EPA officials in contempt."
"Senator Palin casts the tiebreaking vote."
It would drive the lib's crazy! And it would give Palin a springboard for 2016. I'm not saying that a "Senator Palin" is a must, but it sure would be nice.
And what has she actually acomplished?
Trolling .... polling or whatever. They intentionally want to make her part of the conversation again ........ for a reason.
To further add, if there’s no Palin or Cruz on the ticket in 2016, the chances of me even bothering to vote are slim to none. My lifelong habit of voting for each and every GOP name on the ballot already came to a blunt halt in 2012.
I’ll be happy with Mike Lee on the ballot.
I agree!
if we run any of the strong Conservatives, it will be a landslide, like it always is. just don’t give us a rino.
That’s the ticket right there!
I would vote for Sarah if she runs, but she better declare early, one way or another. Her dithering last time around prevented any other conservative from coalescing support, and helped Romney win. In or out by the early 2015. Run a real campaign, none of that crap about some kind of grass roots, come from behind entry late in the game.
True. There are a few (currently deemed) long-shots I could easily see myself support, like Lee and Gohmert. A few others I’m on the fence about until I hear more. But in terms of 1st-tier, it’s only Palin and Cruz.
Knowing the GOP the way I now do, I don’t really expect them serve up someone I find remotely palatable. And if by some miracle that does happen, I’d expect them to do everything they could to deep-six them and deliver the election to their Dem buddies.
We’re on the very same page. I’m completely finished with the GOP-e.
Yep. The civil mechanisms put in place by the Framers that allow citizen participation in the governing of the country, are for all intents and purposes, FUBAR.
I'll still do my civic duty and go to the polls, but I have no illusions that voting will do anything to actually change the direction we're headed. The game has long since passed that point. We need to look to the wisdom of the Framers for real solutions.
Yeah the democrat party needs the GOP to do every evil for them/sarcasm

Thank you so much!
Indeed it was one of her best!
I can't believe that someone who's been a Freeper since 2001 is even asking that question. Her accomplishments over her 22 years of public service have been posted here hundreds of times.
