Okay, this is a Pew poll, so take it for what it's worth. But it is interesting, nontheless.

For the ping list

41% of GOP primary voters said there is no chance they would vote for ... Palin ... two-thirds of all voters said Ms. Palin wouldn’t get their vote.

Ouch.

The only really interesting polls are the ones in which actual voters actually vote and the results count.

Why is it automatically assumed that the female candidates named are unpopular simply because they are female and the reverse for the male candidates? I like Bachmann as a candidate and have support he, but am not ready to chalk up her polling problems to her gender. As for Palin, I am not crazy about her as a candidate, but that opinion has nothing to do with her gender.

Drop from $1858 to $1754 is a plunge? I'm still up 450% (5.5x) so I'm not too worried about gold. The plunging value of the dollar is what is killing me.

Boys Rule, Girls Not So Much

Oh those sexist conservative bigots.

Republican primary voters have also latched onto (Perry's) claim that he helped create jobs in Texas.

Just a little reminder that while the editorial page of the WSJ may be mostly conservative, the rest of the paper is not.

It should be considered (and don’t shoot the messenger here) that many of the very evangelicals that you would think would be supportive of Bachmann and Palin might also have the firmest belief that women (any woman) should not hold the highest office in the land and would prefer to have a male president over a female one.

Personally, I don’t feel that way but the numbers in these polls may reflect a strong bias against the prospect of a woman president, regardless of her views. I could certainly get behind a strong-willed Margaret Thatcher type but I do know of women who would bristle at the notion.

[dools0007world]

Surely this goes a long way toward explaining why every Palin event is over subscribed. And all those men and women flocking to hear her could not possibly be voters.

Rich: Are you people looking at the same candidates I am?

[Georgia Girl 2]

Well they say that now. But in November 2012 if the choices are Bachmann and Obama or Palin and Obama the republicans will all vote for the republican candidate and I believe that a lot of indendents will also. Obama is so bad only the blacks and hard core progressives will vote for him again. IMO.

[Cen-Tejas]
