Simple, women don't like women who are more attractive than they are, smarter than they are and they don't think a woman can handle the job. I hear it all the time, “well maybe if she was a Senator first”, “maybe if she stayed as gov and had gotten more experience”, “well maybe she would be a good VP.” Not hard to figure out. Since the beginning of time men have been saying, and women have been believing, women are second to men. Heck you can read comments to that effect here on FR. If Palin enters the race, it will be interesting to see how she overcomes this thinking. OBTW, Michelle B. is in the same boat, but Palin is a way stronger woman than Michelle B.

These are probably the same people who think that Mitt Romney is super awesome and the bees knees(Too much I Love Lucy LOL) the progressives in the GOP want Romney to be their nominee SO badly..so they will do whatever it takes to make sure that happens

Of course this is absurd on its face.

The only real reason someone would want someone to stay out is if they thought they could win. And someone wins by typically getting a plurality of the votes.

So this is saying something that a plurality of those polled think Palin should stay out because they fear that a plurality of those voting would vote her in?

Makes no sense to me. Not that I would expect it to.

I’m going to vote for Palin, regardless of the garbage that’s shoveled her way.

I would sooner see our country burn to the ground than vote for an establishment candidate or any candidate picked/pushed by the enemy.

Considering what Obama and the democrats have so quickly done to our country, it won’t take all that long for it to reach the ground.

I don't remember seeing polls about who should run in a primary before. It must be that the media polls are really scared the GOP voters might pick some candidate the GOP voters don't really want.

I also don't remember seeing polls about who voters definitely WOULDN'T vote for 18 months before the election.

The media polls are just as pathetic as the media email freaks.

Go Sarah.

Let us just look at the year before and how the GREATEST President to ever be elected was doing. Reagan was trailing carter badly... he was broke in 1979 and his campaign endured scandals of workers... he was polling as low as 32%. Palin will win the nomination and she will be the next President... she is the ONLY choice for true Conservatives... just like Reagan... she has the solutions and the balls to see them put into place... just like Reagan.

http://www.politico.com/pdf/PPM41_reagan_story.pdf

“Remember the 1980 Campaign

During the summer of 1979, Ronald Reagan’s campaign reported that it was broke. The candidate had to explain his weak fundraising and big spending, as well as overcome doubts about his age and ability. The campaign faced the decision of closing its doors or accepting restrictive federal matching funds. Reagan lost the Iowa caucus. Not only that, the campaign also experienced a dramatic staff shake-up in the middle of the primary season. But by the spring of 1980, closing in on the nomination, the Washington Post wrote, “As Ronald Reagan sees it, the seeds of his victory in the Republican presidential contest were sown in the dark hours of defeat.”

As the second quarter of 1979 came to a close, Ronald Reagan did not lead the Republican candidates in fundraising. He didn’t even come in second. As a matter of fact, Reagan trailed Rep. Philip M. Crane of Illinois, former Texas Gov. John Connally, and former CIA Director George Bush. Reagan not only lagged in fundraising, he outspent the other candidates, burning through $1.3 million of the $1.4 million the campaign had raised. Things only got worse—by September, the campaign was $500,000 in debt. By January, the campaign ultimately decided to take federal matching funds and the strict spending limits that accompanied them.

In addition to financial distress, the campaign also endured internal staff disputes. In December, 1979, campaign director John Sears moved to oust a trio of close senior Reagan advisers: Lyn Nofziger, Mike Deaver, and Marty Anderson. Ronald Reagan then lost the Iowa caucuses to George Bush on January 21. Then, on the day of the New Hampshire primary, February 26, Reagan took the dramatic step of firing top leadership and bringing in Bill Casey. Many other top staffers also left, either being let go or resigning. Reagan ended up winning New Hampshire by a ratio of 2:1. Ultimately, when Ronald Reagan took control of his own campaign, he started to see successes. In this way, “the seeds of his victory” really were “sown in the dark hours of defeat.” By March of 1980, the National

Journal reported that Ronald Reagan had a “commanding lead” for the Republican nomination.”

I believe and all voters poll shows sarah with something like 40%. The others something like 50%, the thing to remember is sarah support is firm where as the others is not. I do believe at this stage I’d much rather have a smaller solid base of supporters then a larger wishy washy base of supporters. If she runs, she will win.

Sounds stupid to me... Why would anyone want to restrict the number of choices?

so Sarah Palin listens to Scott Rasmussen and folds?
The more the merrier as she would say. I’d love to see her be a candidate and debate the rest. If Newt, MB, Huntsman etc can get in and get respect why cant SP? Why didnt Scott do a poll and Newt and tell him via headline “it’s over, don’t bother”

This is just another bully tactic. I despise this. I dont want “independent” pollsters telling us who our candidate should be. SP will make that decision and she isnt smart enough to not lesson to advice from political adversaries.

Rasmussen is doing the dirty work for the Rep establishment. There is really nothing to see here.

There are no honest pollsters, and the science of political polling is long dead.

Rasmussen is a jerk just like the other pollsters, he has an agenda, I have been saying this for years

This is just part of the plan to try and discourage Gov Palin from getting in the race, it`s exactly as I had predicted, did not take a rocket scientist to predict.

People wake up! This is all just part of the plan to stop sarah, to discourage her.

The LSM/Rep establishment support for Bachmann is all part and parcel with the phony polls.

Rasmussen is no Conservative.

“Plurality of GOP primary voters prefer Palin to stay out in 2012”

If it’s true then Palin won’t win the Primary. Basically they’re saying they won’t vote for Palin. Why wasn’t the question phrased that way?

A Perry run would be seen positively across the board, but not terribly enthusiastically. He actually gets a majority of Tea Party voters (53/17), scoring better among them than Palin,

Well, obviously, the tea party are RINOS!!!!
