Poll postulates Palin popularity plunges precipitously
LOS ANGELES TIMES ^ | 12 AUGUST 2009 | LOS ANGELES TIMES

Sarah Palin, the wife of a popular Arctic snowmachine racer who also once served as Alaska's first female governor, seems to find her own popularity plummeting.

According to numbers atop a new poll by CNN/Opinion Research the popular hockey mom's favorable rating in a survey of at least 1,136 adult Americans has plunged seven points since May. A significant drop.

She went from 46% favorable down to 39% a few days after she experienced premature resignation and left office 17 months early to save Alaska from more partisan attacks on her. And, who knows, maybe plan some future political activity in other states.

Palin, who plucked Sen. John McCain from political obscurity in Arizona as her GOP presidential ticket running mate last summer, enjoyed her highest popularity right after a rousing speech at the Republican convention in early September. She was at 57% then, but much higher among Republicans and conservatives.

Enjoy your BO CARE! That's the train wreck you see. Sarah's one smart woman and you obviously can't handle it! LOL! Did you pee in your pants when you saw a Sarah thread and just had to stop by?

Bravo to Sarah!

A pox on polls that postulate Palin popularity plunging precipitously. ;-)

You're obviously a tad p-ed off...

Personal prudence prevents prolonging perpetual pronouncement pertaining previous proclamations. ;-)

Palin’s fifteen minutes are up.

I'm sure we'll all be spending quite a bit time discussing the popularity of someone "whose fifteen minutes are up."

If you really feel it needs to be said, it can't be true.

sold out the conservative principles of perseverance, courage, honesty and fortitude.

LOL. Palin has more of these qualities in her little finger than all the toady politicians combined. She has just taken ownership of the Health Reform issue while many of the "leaders" were quibbling or hiding.

This piece is just bizarre.
"Palin, who plucked Sen. John McCain from political obscurity in Arizona as her GOP presidential ticket running mate last summer,..."

These people are psychopaths...

Re: #57 - I think you need to fit the word “poltroon” in there somewhere.

From the LA Times...are they still in business(chuckle). The same people who called O “the magic negro”. The same people who withheld the videotape of O at a party for a terrorist in Chicago, where there was a dance troop of muslim boys who did a dance simulating beheadings of Americans and Jews. The LA Times....blech! Only good for lining small pet cages to catch the doo doo.

All the libs are still agitated by Sarah, and that can only mean they fear her. The grassroots support for her is astounding. She is us, we are her. It’s about time we could vote for someone like us instead of an elite blowhard who never had a real job. Someone who has gotten their hands dirty doing real work. Someone brave enough to field dress a moose. She’s got more brass than half the men in the country. Liberal men know that. They tremble at the thought of her as president. She is on a mission from God. Where He will take her is anyone’s guess, but she is going someplace important to our Republic. To the White House Sarah! To the White House!

Thanks for the heads up. I didn’t read the source, just went off half-cocked on a rant. Oh well. The headline and the main paragraphs of the article is all most people would see. If his point is that this is bunk, the writer needs to get to the point right away.

Palin’s fifteen minutes are up.

In your dreams, and Obama's, as well. Your saying so, doesn't make it so. When did you get the title of "American Electorate Spokesperson"? She's not going anywhere but up!

Sarah Palin, excerpted from 2008 Convention speech-

"* This is a man [Barack Obama] who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting, and never use the word “victory” except when he’s talking about his own campaign. But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed … when the roar of the crowd fades away … when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot - what exactly is our opponent’s plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish, after he’s done turning back the waters and healing the planet? The answer is to make government bigger … take more of your money … give you more orders from Washington … and to reduce the strength of America in a dangerous world. ...

A CNN poll, wow, they probably polled those who work for CNN. May as well post a poll regarding Palin run by the reliable pollster David Axelrod.

His point was that cnn buried the 6.6 margin of error at the very end, so did the same.

Oh, those sneaky medias, leaving such info till the end of the story like that. And this.

fervent fear of that fearless femme fosters false fantasies of her falling fame.
