Among the New Hampshire electorate as a whole, Palin is viewed favorably by just 28 percent, according to a recent survey by the Democratic automated pollster Public Policy Polling.
In PPP surveys in 31 states over the last six months, just three states had smaller proportions of Palin fans, and all were in the northeast: New Jersey, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. (Though the firm is partisan, its results generally track with polls by other organizations. PPP’s results were used in this analysis in the interest of consistency across different states.)

In Pennsylvania, Palin likely has pockets of support in the rural center of the state and among tea party activists, said Jim Roddey, chairman of Pittsburgh’s Allegheny County Republican Committee.
“Overall, most of us feel she could be an important force in the party, but I would hope she would not run for president,” said Roddey, who hasn’t endorsed a 2012 primary candidate. “I don’t think she has the intellectual capacity or the depth of knowledge to be president.”
Madonna, the Pennsylvania pollster, said there’s evidence that putting Palin on the ticket hurt McCain overall in Pennsylvania by turning off the suburban swing voters — particularly women — that are crucial to winning the state.

I agree.
For quite some time, there seems to be a positive vibe between Sarah and Rudy. I would not be surprised if he was helping her. He absolutely loved her RNC Convention speech - big smiles & cheers from him throught the speech.
We should start literally WRITING these hit pieces for them. We could use a formula with easy to add bullet points and boxes to check.
__ Her negatives are too high
__ Not known for her intelligence
__ Quitter
__ No chance in the GOP
__ Folksy
__ Extreme right wing
These hit pieces are really not very hard to do and none of them are original.
If Palin was unelectable, Politico would be raving about her.
Isn't it odd that someone who lacks ‘intellectual capacity’ in just a couple of years has gone from being somebody that few had ever heard of, to a self made successful business woman and millionaire, and the major voice for Conservatism in this Country?
But then again, this same Obama Media considers all Conservatives (which encompasses the majority of the Country) to lack “intellectual capacity”.
If we are dumb, I have no desire to be smart.
Hey, at least the ‘evil’ part of their play book has had a hard time sticking. ;-)
Rudy defended Palin from the git-go in ‘08 and has never stopped being complementary and supportive. He also recruited Palin to participate in his leadership seminars around the country.
Rudy is a lot of things and I don’t agree with many of them but one thing I do know is that he is a leader. He showed me that after 9/11. This country is desperate for true political leaders with guts. Despite their political differences, they are natural allies for these times.
I’m sure Rudy despises the self-centered politicians in the GOP today as much as Palin does.
Interesting.
That's because they cater to Liberal Drones. Liberal Drones may be devious, but they're not smart. They must be given simple instructions on what to think on a daily basis.
One thing I would personally like to see is a little more information or exposure on the people who write this propaganda. I did a quick search of the writer for this article, Molly Ball, and all I really see is she does mostly Left Wing propaganda pieces and she is a Yale grad. Perhaps someone with more Internet savvy than I could document her agenda better.
“Madonna, the Pennsylvania pollster”? This celebrities-in-politics thing has gone too far.
Sounds good to me. I hope they split the RINO vote.
ROFLOL!!!
I have to steal that!
Thanks for posting this. Though, I need a shower after reading that drivel. I cannot stand Politicrud!
He knows how to play politics. Stop Romney where will it hurt Romney the most: NH.
Have a real convention with delegates!
Yep, he has always defended Sarah Palin.
He sees through her detractors and the GOP-E frauds and pundits who bad mouth her. Those people bring out the NY prosecutor in him....lol.
Barry is a bumbling fool when not reading what has been written for him. ..the evidence is overwhelming!
Rooty is a taxpayer funded abortion lovin’, gay lovin’, statist.
A person does not want him backing them if they are a conservative.
Geesh, we went through this in 2007-2008.
