Sarah Palin vs Barack Obama: The approval gap silently shrinks to a few points
Los Angeles Times ^ | 11-23-09 | Andrew Malcolm

Not that it matters politically because obviously she's a female Republican dunce and he's a male Democrat genius.

But Sarah Palin's poll numbers are strengthening.

And Barack Obama's are sliding.

Guess what? They're about to meet in the 40's.

Depending, of course, on which recent set of numbers you peruse and how the questions are phrased, 307 days into his allotted 1,461 the 44th president's approval rating among Americans has slid to 49% or 48%, showing no popularity bounce from his many happy trips, foreign and domestic.

If Sarah would make President in 2012, she would be left with the biggest mess in US history.

SARAH PALIN HONORING AMERICA AT A 911 MEMORIAL CEREMONY


THE MAN WHO DESPISES AMERICA

Reagen inherited a HUGE mess from Carter. Tokk 3 years to reaaly clean up the misery index...but we're still living with some of the consequences (ie. Iran).

True.

She would also have the clear mandate and the necessary governing principles to fix it. That is one of her greatest strengths.

I think she will cut her own wages, the moment she get into office and ask everyone in her staff to do the same. Then she’ll ask Senators and Congressman from both parties to do it and they’ll impeach her :)

Shocking to see LATimes reporting this...perhaps the worm is turning and hopefully not too late to stop MAO-bama’s communism.

And that is when polling only Democrats.

It's safe to say that will apply to anyone who takes the job. So far she is the only one on stage saying what needs to be said while rousing crowds at the same time. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, but I hope she keeps going.

And remember that those polled only know what the media tells them... If they knew the truth how would the polls go?

The media is/are the most responsible for this disgusting mess.

Charges of sedition - confiscation of all their wealth.

And as work release they can be at the dunking booth at all state fairs.

If Barrack Obama was receiving the same Media spite that Sarah Palin is receiving , he would be in the 20’s.

They assigned 11 journalists to pick Sarah Palin apart and not a one to just ask Obama where he was born.

I think we have swerved into the real reason for the press’ Palin bashing lately. Wonder how long the Dem's internals have been reflecting this trend???

This illustrate how powerful the media still remain. They still drive the news to a large degree. Even if Fox News is the most watched cable channel. If you combine all its competitors as one Leftist Block they still outnumber Fox

Get the facts, folks. POTUS Barack Obama is a failed POTUS across the board. No matter what issue you choose, he is weak, uninformed, incapable of making any decision, is a poor leader, knows nothing about the USA economy and really has a deep dislike for these United States and especially our military folks!!! So....whether it is Sarah Palin that Obama is compared to, or someone else, you can bet Obama will be coming up on the short end. If Oprah Winfrey and SNL have turned on him he is ready for the toaster oven right now!!!! The Democrat Party better wise up and get this lightweight to resign or impeach him, or there will be no Democrat Party to talk about as the future unfolds.

Obama is bad enough, but when combined with Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi it is a triumphirate of Know nothings that appears to know no bounds.

Hope and Change was their shout, even those who fell for it are discovering we are about to get Change that will leave us no Hope.

If several states require candidates to show proof of citizenship, he won’t be on some state ballots. He has said he won’t necessarily run again, it will/could mean he is desparate to hide some info from the people.

Due to the msm venom directed against her, there are many, many others that simply go with the flow, but know in their souls that she represents a return to the bright and bouyant future we envisioned when Reagan was in office.

Nobody predicted Reagan's landslide 49-state victory. The MSM will be truly shocked when they count the votes in 2012. They either see what is coming and are denying it, or are truly blind and will be shocked.

Either way, whether with the GOP or not, she would have my vote.
