Poll postulates Palin popularity plunges precipitously
LOS ANGELES TIMES ^ | 12 AUGUST 2009 | LOS ANGELES TIMES

Sarah Palin, the wife of a popular Arctic snowmachine racer who also once served as Alaska's first female governor, seems to find her own popularity plummeting.

According to numbers atop a new poll by CNN/Opinion Research the popular hockey mom's favorable rating in a survey of at least 1,136 adult Americans has plunged seven points since May. A significant drop.

She went from 46% favorable down to 39% a few days after she experienced premature resignation and left office 17 months early to save Alaska from more partisan attacks on her. And, who knows, maybe plan some future political activity in other states.

Palin, who plucked Sen. John McCain from political obscurity in Arizona as her GOP presidential ticket running mate last summer, enjoyed her highest popularity right after a rousing speech at the Republican convention in early September. She was at 57% then, but much higher among Republicans and conservatives.

Yeah, her popularity is plummeting that’s why you’re writing an article about her. If she’s plummeting her way to obscurity, you wouldn’t be talking about her - hoping you say it enough, it will come true.

Stopped reading at LOS ANGELES TIMES ^.

I prefer my propaganda from a reputable source, like the National Enquirer.

And I’m sure the LA Times has been eqully aggessive in analyzing the falling poll numbers of Zero.

“Sarah Palin, the wife of a popular Arctic snowmachine racer who also once served as Alaska’s first female governor...” Surely the Times jests!

It may have ‘plummeted’, but she would draw a much larger, more enthusiastic crowd than Obama.

A pox on polls that postulate Palin popularity plunging precipitously. ;-)

As I posted on another board, CNN conducting a poll on Sarah Palin is like the New York Yankees conducting a poll on the Boston Red Sox. Sure, you can call what you end up with ‘data’, but I’m sure a few Sox fans might raise an eyebrow...

The near constant stream of obsessive media negativity designed to create the narrative of an unelectable divisive moose-hunting dimwit is very telling: Sarah scares ‘em.

Exactly. All you need to know is “CNN/Opinion Research” poll.

Todd served as Alaska’s first female governor?
What a well rounded family.

Palin may be “beloved” by the true believers at FR, a very unrepresentative segment of the American electorate, but the report makes perfect sense as an indicator of the opinion of the rest of the American people.

Palin walked out on a job — and an oath — and hasn’t presented even a glimmer of a good reason for it. “The meanies were attacking me” just doesn’t cut it.

Palin’s fifteen minutes are up.

Dear Leader’s approval has gone from 70% to 48% since the inauguration.

I’m sure the Times will be doing a story on “Obama’s Plummetting Popularity” any day now.
