A.P.: 6 IN 10 SAY PALIN IS UNQUALIFIED

The Associated Press has released the results of an A.P. poll showing only 4 in 10 adults believe Sarah Palin is qualified for the presidency: http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=35240.

According to that same telephone poll of 505 people, only 4 in 10 felt “more favorably about her” because of her decision to give birth to Trig, a baby with Down Syndrome.

The reader is obviously entitled to draw his or her conclusions based on those numbers. My conclusions are, one, that the A.P. poll is as flawed and biased as the A.P. is flawed and biased and, two, if only 40% of adults were moved to look more favorably on Governor Palin’s heroic decision to give birth to and raise a Down Syndrome child then the other 60% have no grasp of the meaning of selflessness. They must all be liberals.

Sarah Palin isn’t running for President.

[Let's Roll]

How many think nobama is qualified?

[krb]

Gene, have you pointed out to your friends that our younger candidate is in the VP role, while your ticket has the newbie in the TOP role?

[Hugin]

All polls are flawed nowdays, because 90%+ people don’t answer their home phones.

[Yanni.Znaio]

You forgot the (DUH!) at the end of your post.

[teletech]

4 out of 10 don’t know what the hell they are talking about!

[Harry Wurzbach]

Unfortunately a majority of Americans are idiots.

[rlmorel]

Did you mean SIX out of ten...:)?

only 4 in 10 felt “more favorably about her” because of her decision to give birth to Trig, a baby with Down Syndrome.

I can't believe she had a baby without running it past a focus group first.

[xjcsa]

Wow, what a crap poll. A whopping 505 “adults.”

[teletech]

Uh that should read 6 out of 10 don’t know what the hell they are talking about! Blush.

[Yanni.Znaio]

The Question Which Must Not Be Asked.

However, the answer is “LOTS”

[krb]

Before you get booted, please note that your side is extremely lame for putting Obama up against Palin.

I have *yet* to see one of you guys throw some awesome thing Biden did to explain why he’s more awesome than Palin.

It’s almost like there’s this surreal thing that happened when Palin was nominated and you guys forgot that you are really competing with John McCain.

You can’t be that daft.

[teletech]

Did you mean SIX out of ten...:)?

OOPS! Yes, I did mean 6 out of 10.

[television is just wrong]

idiots she isn’t running for the POTUS, she is running for VP. What a bunch of nimrods.

[6SJ7]

This poll was crap when it was posted yesterday and it’s still crap posted yet again.

[MHGinTN]

Give me a few months to build lists and I can give you any results you want from a poll anytime you pay for it. You can even tell me in advance what you want and I'll generate it. It's all in whom you ask when polling. Zogby has been making his fortune playing this game for quite some time. Scott Rasmussen is the ONLY pollster I would trust to be honest. And you need to know that's why they have ‘internals’ that politicians go by and alphabet network externals which are used to manipulate the electorate. The Gore internals told him hours in advance where to send his army of scab-picking lawyers. Even Jesse Jackasson was alerted to send his racist troops well before the Florida polls closed in the western peninsula.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I thought these dildoes didn’t know who she is. How would they know if she’s qualified or not if they don’t know anything about her? This is just another dumb liberal “poll.”

[Prole]

Oh, right.

AP data is totally credible, right?

The Associated Press has released the results of an A.P. poll showing only 4 in 10 democrats believe Sarah Palin is qualified for the presidency. According to that same telephone poll of 505 registered democrats, only 4 in 10 felt “more favorably about her” because of her decision to give birth to Trig, a baby with Down Syndrome."

Fixed it.

[Doogle]

...and only 1 of 10 believe anything an AP poll says...that being the idiot who thought it up

[NutCrackerBoy]

Even if poll is accurate, it is 4 out of 10 adults, not 4 out of 10 voters.

[fso301]

I would probably say that she doesn't meet my criteria for qualification either but the experience and qualifications she already has place her light years ahead of B. Hussein Osama.

Don';t hold your breath waiting for a similar poll about Hussein.

[whitedog57]

Our country is mentally ill.

Obama, Edwards, Kerry, Gore, Biden ... none have ever governed.

And Obama and Edwards have short Senate experience.

But Palin is the inexperienced one. NICE LIBERAL SEXISM AMERICA!!

I feel like moving somewhere else. We are becoming the USSR.

[popdonnelly]

Uh, who the heck conducts these polls and who the heck do they poll?

[Darkwolf377]

only 4 in 10 felt “more favorably about her” because of her decision to give birth to Trig, a baby with Down Syndrome.

The rest no doubt would think her brave if she killed a helpless unborn baby.

I fear for our country.

[PeanutbutterandJellybean]

Where's Nobama’s AP Poll?

How does he automatically get a pass?

[citizencon]

AP is the news organization of fake stories, fake photos and fake polls.

[Brian S. Fitzgerald]

Is she less qualified than Dan Quail?

[beckysueb]

This poll was taken 2 days after Palin was picked for the VP slot, before her big speech. The same poll showed that only 49% of the people thought Obama was qualified. This after nearly 2 years of all Obama all the time.

[Ben Reyes]

That’s not right.

They didn’t call me!
