Actually, a sample size of 400 in a state that only has a population of (roughly) 700K is better than almost all national polls, which generally never have a sample size greater than 1K in a country of over 310M.
Also, this poll isn't at all out of line from a similar poll taken by Rasmussen last May.
Just 41% in Alaska Would Vote for Palin for President
Shortly after Palin quit as governor, her approval rating in AK plummeted, and it has never recovered.
>> Actually, a sample size of 400 in a state that only has a population of (roughly) 700K is better than almost all national polls...
Does the same reasoning apply when polling 1 person in a State of 1750?
