Okay, this is getting serious. Time to start cranking up the spin machine and kneecap Perry before he gets too far ahead of Palin

Oh, and by the way, this poll is just cooked to look bad for Palin, because Hot Air has Palin Derangement Syndrome.

I read over there Palin kept her voters but 3000 more voted than last poll. I wish I could post over there. Only thing they really over do Bambi. I counted 9 pics of him the other day. It’s hard to read with my eyes closed.

Palin, however, hasn’t declared her candidacy. It’s just not fair!

How reliable has this poll proven to be in the past?

Nevertheless, the results seem to more accurately reflect my personal opinion of the race. Other polls constantly peg Romney as a frontrunner but even here in Massachusetts, support for him seems lukewarm. Up in New Hampshire over this weekend, Romney's Tea Party appearance was mostly unnoticed while Palin got all the headlines. Romney's 6% seems about right to me.

I've always considered Palin to be the first choice of most Republicans. The fact that she is in second place even before her announcement bodes well for when she does get in.

The people that do this poll have been openly unhappy with Palin winning month after month. No surprise here at all, just as I predicted a couple weeks ago...The fix is in

It is not a scientific poll but it accurately measures HotAir readers who chose to participate, in that sense it might be similar to a national closed primary.

I’m a Palin supporter and I think you’re nuts.

Enjoy it while you can TQC, once Sarah announces, you boy will sink like a rock.

I don’t know, I’ve seen several posts that mirror his opinions.

Perhaps that’s why they invented the sarcasm tag.

Sarah's my choice, too, but this waiting game is getting old. If she doesn't SOGOTP soon, her base will begin to drift away. She will begin to look less and less like a serious player, and more and more like the media caricature.

Come on Sarah, if you're serious, NOW'S THE TIME!

This actually looks fairly accurate. Perry is the soup du jour, some lustre will come off, and Palin will gain after announcing. Romney slipping to also ran status. It will be a Palin Perry slugfest, which isn’t the worst world to be in.
