52% of Voters Say Their Views Are More Like Palin’s Than Obama’s
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.

Based on these polls, Palin is in a much, much, much better position versus Obama as opposed Reagan versus Carter in 1980.

For those who aren’t aware of it a poll was taken in March 1980, just 8 months before the general election which showed Reagan trailing Carter by 25 points. And we know what happened.

Palin is favored by 76% of Republicans and 52% of independents and her F/UF is 48/49. And Obama’s job approval/disapproval today with Rasmussen is 44/56.

These are NOT the numbers of somebody who is UNELECTABLE.

Does this mean that Michelle is no longer proud of her country?

When you start seeing 2012 media polls with Hillary Clinton in it, you will know the ruling class is hedging their bets and shifting away from Zero...LOL.

It *is* beginning to look pretty good for Sarah. From the time she started calling her own shots, she’s been flawless. Prayers and my best wishes for her always!

You forgot “polarizing”. Looks like she’s “polarizing” over half of the country now!

:D

Hummmm. Six large groups more favorable and only four groups more unfavorable, and those are minority groups, not the vast heartland of America.

The numbers will probably continue to improve if she continues talking past the media and keeps campaigning face to face.

Contrary to the analysis of “experts” who think she left the governor’s office because it was “too tough” or “too much work”, she could use the current elections to connect with directly with voters. While they rate her chances low, retail politics is probably one of her best skills.

For example, Delaware is a small and liberal state. IIRC, she was going to actually go door to door and get seriously involved in Christine’s campaign. When real people hear her for themselves, their media brain-washing will be replaced by positive personal experience. ...and then they tell two friends, and they tell two friends...

Delaware is not an early primary state, but she might start doing this in many key states like Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Ohio where raising her favorable numbers will help her defeat zero in the general, and South Carolina where she can cement the nomination.

This process will take longer, but be far more successful and effective than mass media.

“her F/UF is 48/49”

After fraudulent adjustments, of course. I wonder what the real numbers are.

Might not Delaware serve as an ideal proving ground? It is a small state, both in population and area. It is a typical liberal East Coast state, but maybe a great place to start in the East. I think the northern part (Wilmington, New Castle County) is industry while the southern two counties (Dover, Harrington, Georgetown) are mostly rural. It's like most states, therefore, with redder parts and bluer parts, and on a small and manageable scale.

If I had the means, I'd go camp there for the next two months and campaign. Do you realize what a Christine victory would mean, not only for Christine but from a symbolic standpoint?
