CBS Poll: Most Republicans don't want Palin to run for president
CBS News ^ | 06/09/2011 | Brian Montopoli

CBS News Poll analysis by the CBS News Polling Unit: Sarah Dutton, Jennifer De Pinto, Fred Backus and Anthony Salvanto.

Most Republicans do not want to see former Alaska governor Sarah Palin enter the presidential race, a new CBS News poll finds.

Fifty-four percent of Republican registered voters want Palin to stay out of the race, as do 50 percent of Tea Party supporters. Just 34 percent of Republicans and 38 percent of Tea Party supporters want her to seek the Republican nomination. Overall, two-thirds of registered voters want Palin to stay out of the race.

Republicans are split on opinions of Palin overall: Thirty-seven percent have a favorable view, 36 percent have an unfavorable view, and 25 percent have no opinion. Her favorable rating among all voters, meanwhile, is just 21 percent, with 57 percent holding an unfavorable view.

The Republican presidential candidate with the highest net favorability rating among Republican voters is Mitt Romney, who has a 37 percent favorable rating and an 11 percent unfavorable rating. But despite Romney's relatively high profile, half say they don't know enough about him or have no opinion.

CBS Poll: Most Republicans don't want Palin to run for president

This is because most Republicans are RINOs.

I bet they oversampled Democrats as usual...even though the poll is supposed to be all Republicans ;)
Old habits die hard...

Here’s an idea...Let’s nominate someone that the press will approve as an acceptable candidate for the GOP. That worked last time, right?

CBS: Still trying to shape public opinion with cooked polls.

Why am I not surprised.

It’s CBS...their readers are totally liberal cranks who teach each other how to multiple-vote by clearing your cookies so the system does not recognize your votes. The Ron Paul campaign does the same thing on his F/B page.

Move on...this is CBS...pffft.

It would be interesting to go back to the last election and see how CBS showed how "McCain" is the obvious choice for the GOP....he was the most reasonable, likeable on all sides, blah blah blah....

I don't give a rat's ass! CBS, do you hear me? There is no way in cowboy hell I'll vote for Romney - at all! Period! Fini, ende...how many ways can I say it? CBS can take this poll and stick it back up from whence they get all their other 'news'...

We will let Sarah know if she's our choice in the primary election.

>>CBS Poll: Most Republicans don’t want Palin to run for president<<

Well, I’m a conservative and I don’t want her to run. But if she does, she’ll get my vote regardless of who else is running.

Yes, but, what do they think of her on the now oh-so-important “personal” level?
