Not registered voters, not even adults, but 710
people.
That's some methodology there.

"These people need a hard lesson. maybe hyperinflation and a dust bowl with food rationing would teach the people in this poll their lesson."Oh thanks.... thanks a lot. Obama is from Ohio, maybe your state should break out in boils and petulance. LOL

A person can always tell a pissant article simply by reading the headlines. If it trashes Sarah it is posted by Pissant. This poll, and all others showing Bozo ahead of Sarah, are simply BS.

Palin might lose to Obama in 2012 but there will be no parallel to 1964. LBJ ran as a proud leftist in an era before leftism had discredited itself. Goldwater ran as a proud conservative at conservatism’s lowest political ebb. Obama will have to run as a covert leftist long after having blown his cover in an era when every sentient creature knows that the left is hideously destructive. He might win, but there's no way he would carry Tennessee, and I very much doubt he could win, barring a dramatic economic turnaround.
Jimmy Carter looked like a lead pipe cinch against Reagan in 1979. He crushed Reagan in all sorts of national polls, except the one that counted. Asking people what they think about an election nearly 2 years hence in almost meaningless. Far from suggesting that a Palin candidacy is in trouble, this poll indicates the reverse — that polling data can't be trusted as an indicator of her prospects.
All this hyperventilating about Sarah Palin is pointless and unseemly. Either she is what the caricaturists say she is, in which case she'll fall flat on her face, or she isn't, in which case she will have as good a chance of beating Obama as anyone Republicans could nominate. What will be, will be and today's polls won't affect it at all. Ignore the polls and let events unfold.

Memphis is dreadful. I just try to drive through it as quickly as possible.

That’s because she doesn’t have a white horse, yet.

To all the myriad of Republicans who securely hold this absolute fantasy that the corrupt MSM won't marginalize the next focal point Republican they are living in a drug-hazed world.
Any Republican who become the defacto point person will face the same systematic attempt to marginalize as was done to Quayle,Gingrich, Bush, Reagan, Limbaugh or anybody else.
Heck even Obama started to do this to Boehner in the run up to the 2010 elections. Had he had more time and focus he would have reduced Boehner to exact same “divisive, most polarizing, amiable dunce status as those who went before them.
Every time a Republican comes into focus the corrupt MSM slavishly works to completely shred them — and then blame THEM for being a polarizing figure. Afterwords, Conservatives desperately want that Republican to go away because they feel uncomfortable with the withering scrutiny. They believe “the next” person will somehow be of more stature and won't be susceptible to the same vicious attacks.
WAKE UP.

It’d be 1964 all over again.
That was said in 1980 also. Which Palin did they poll? The SNL Palin or the real one? These polls are totally bogus and done by a dem polling company with a pre-determined result. The whole point is to convince Palin not to run. Sorry, it won’t work. The real result of that poll is the in the 2012 race, Obama will get 42% and Palin will get 58%. If those polled won’t vote for him now, they won’t in the general election.

Just by the fact she doesn’t sit well with many people. I think there are conservatives that would do better. Sarah should remain the conservative rallier that she is. I don’t mind if she writes another book or two and makes a few million. She is best serving in the role she is now playing.
