Note that the polls are of "adults" and not "registered voters" nor yet even "likely voters".
Note that the poll internals by age, race, gender, and party are not given.
Nice try, though.
A *balanced* poll would be among those waiting in line at her book tour, as they are most likely to be motivated to vote for her.
Also left untouched is the fact that the left has NO scandals left on her.
She is "clean as the wind-driven snow".
GO SARAH!
“Only 28 percent say she is “qualified to be president,” according to the survey conducted by CNN”
CN Who.... cares
And zero is qualified how?
I hate to sound like an anti-Paliner and give her "advice," but among the first things she should do if she chooses to run is start cutting some videos of her in the Wasilla Mayor and Governor's office and explaining how she cut taxes and promoted growth and still funded things like education and infrastructure. If she allows the Dems and media to keep talking about Levi Johnston or her family she's going to lose.
Thank you National Journal, we’ll remember to say hi getting off the Helicopter at the White House.
"Move to the LEFT, Sarah.... you may fulfill your dream... we can't stop you but we can corrupt you..." Karl Marx...
Oh, not this crap again!
Let’s remember that Barack Obama had his race as his ace.
If the truth gets out widely about Sarah Palin’s work as Governor of Alaska, I do not think very many will be able to say she is not qualified for presidential office.
She is more qualified than Obama, even after Obama has had a year of on the job training.
Her only problem is that she did not attend Harvard or Yale, so the party elite from both sides of the aisle can pretend to look down on her.
Palin is a committed, creative and hard working leader.She has the skills and hutzpah to do a great job as POTUS.She certainly would be doing far better than Obama is now.
The press has been very hard on her, creating several untrue urban myths that have resulted in the poll numbers reported in the article.Those can be overcome with truth.
I do believe she means to rejuvinate Reagan Republicanism.I am all for it, I think she can do it.
Well, who the hell is going to beat her? Romney the socialist? Huckabee? You’ve got to be kidding me.
If there’s a better God, Country, Family, All American candidate out there, then lets get it on!!
Just drill, baby, drill!!
CNN, CBS, ABC...LOL!

DNC? Emily’s List? In other words, he’s a leftist, and you can’t believe a word he says.

What I'd like to see are polls from cBS or any of the liberal media from back in 2007/2007, where they even dared to ask voters such questions about whether 0bozo was even qualified to be president or not (he isn't).
Oh wait...cBS was too scared to ask such questions about 0bama in 2006/7 because they were scared they would be labeled “racist”, plus they were too busy campaigning flat out for 0bama anyways.
Why don't we look at how cBS did in the 2008 presidential elections eh?

Unsurprisingly, cBS ranked near the bottom, with their blatantly pro-0bama, well doctored push polls.
Why on earth would this guy write an article quoting push polls from the notoriously fraudulent, agenda driven, anti-Palin liberal media, but then refuse to quote polls from the best pollster in the business, Rasmussen, which show Sarah Palin running neck and neck with 0bama, and having better favor ability ratings with voters right now than 0bama does?
“Can she win?”
Let’s see....A Marxist Muslim America-hating illegal alien won.
I think Sarah has a shot.
Even though Sarah Palin is , as I have always called her,
the “Anti-Obama”, the thing that could hurt her most is
ironically the growing feeling that OBAMA himself was not
“ready” or “experienced” enough for the Presidency; there could be a backlash against Sarah Palin as the electorate grows increasingly distrustful and disenchanted with Obama
and pins his failures (mistakenly, IMO) of his “lack of experience”, when in fact, it’s his ideology and lack of connectedness with American realities that’s to blame.Palin
already has more experience, far, far sounder core principles, and true hardcore American appeal, so it’s going to be up to the MSM to destroy her subtly by these
artifical “parallels” with Obama. They will figure out a way to do it.
How many copies did Dan Quayle's book “Worth Fighting For” sell?
And how many people camped out all night just so they could get autographed copies of Dan Quayle's book?
“The lack of money need not slam it shut, as it did for Quayle,”
He needn't worry about Sarah Palin raising money.
He should just wait till Sarah Palin really starts going out to raise money for her campiagn, if she decides to run. He is going to be blown over by how much money Sarah Palin raises, and how fast she does it.

Lets fill out the rest of the Palin Administration:
Sarah Palin President
Condi Rice Vice President
Jeb Bush Secretary of State
Rudy Guiliani Attorney General
Dick Cheney Secretary of Defense
And all of the rest of the Departments are going to be SCRAPPED because WE CAN’T AFFORD IT. (How hard of a concept is this to understand?)
I would like to see the federal budget at no more than $750 billion in Sarah’s FIRST YEAR.
After Sarah is sworn in, she signs her first executive order [No she’s not sealing all of her personal records] which ELIMINATES THE CORPORATE INCOME TAX.
And then her second executive order is to SCRAP NAFTA.
Wanna expand your base? Promise good blue-collar jobs: oil fields, coal mines, steel plants, gold mines, oil refineries, etc.
Raise protective tariffs to save American jobs from destruction because of the ‘China Price’.
Its time for America to go rogue!!
In addition to considerable appeal and strength as a potential Presidential candidate, Palin has substantial negatives. Most of all, a decisive slice of the electorate views her as a lightweight. Although Reaganesque in manner and philosophy, Palin does not have Reagan’s depth of knowledge, experience, and decades of advocacy for conservative ideas in public office and out. Yet Palin is a quick study with much potential.
Yes she can win...who else have they ever been talking about 3 years out? Who? Nobody except Sarah. She needs to keep doing what she’s doing.
As soon as I saw the source, that was it. LOL!!!! Its like saying Palins poll ratings are in the sewer, according to the reliable DNC Poll taken by members.
I think she has a shot at it, I think the real women of America (especially older mothers)like her. I’d like to see her go all the way, damn the polls, full speed ahead. I want to see Congress cleaned out in my lifetime.
