Rasmussen Reports ^ | Sept. 20, 2010

Posted on 09/20/2010 8:38:51 AM PDT by Al B.

Fifty-two percent (52%) of Likely U.S. Voters say their own views are closer to Sarah Palin’s than they are to President Obama’s, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

Just 40% say their views are closer to the president’s than to those of the former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate.

Among the Political Class, however, 68% say their views are more like Obama’s, while 63% of Mainstream voters describe their views as more like Palin’s.

Rush just mentioned this poll as it relates to more people holding Palin’s views than Obama’s. :)

And the rats, LSM and obamao will continue to insult them as extremist fringe. I can’t wait until November.

Compare the 52% of independent voters who give Palin the thumbs up with Rasmussen while PPP this month pegs her F with indies at 34%.

The polarizing meme is dead and so is the unelectability meme.

These numbers are tectonic.

The genie is now out of the bottle.

Someone needs to dig into the internals and find out how PPP manipulates their numbers. I'm of the opinion that they are anything but incompetent. I think they know exactly how to manipulate their numbers to drive a narrative.

Good post and thanks for the h/t on this poll.

I was never worried about the indies because Rass. Polled them right after the 08 election and Sarah’s numbers were in the 40’s then. I doubt they moved much in th etwo years since. They did dip a little when she step down but now they bounced back up.

Don’t anybody hold their breath waiting for the lamestream media to give this poll the same coverage as their rigged anti-Palin polls.

You’re not? Given ALL the 24/7 LSM bashing, I was surprised, but very pleasantly!

Goes to show that voters are filtering through the crap and that Sarah is doing GOOD.

She’s withstood the worst. I am so proud of her.

Just WOO-HOO!

Yep, you’re right, LLS, but thanks to Roger Alies, Sarah has Fox News, at least until she formally announces, a fact and service for her, that some of us often overlook, whenever we speculate about “when” she will announce.

I really am not surprised. People are waking up to Obama’s deeply radical agenda. What do any of us really have in common with Obama? I would venture nothing....lol.

On the other hand, most people can fully identify with Palin. She is genuine and authentic...something Obama the empty suit knows nothing about. This bodes very well for our girl!
