Sure they do!!! 76% FOR means there are 24% AGAINST. And as noted above, the approval ratings went DOWN in her second term.

LOL, polarizing figures do not win with astounding majorities like 76%, to try to denigrate that is to be foolish, and I have no idea what her "second term" as governor was.

After the media went after her, and after Palin came to represent the national Republican party and national conservatism, Palin left office with a very high, 56% approval.

Rick Perry would love to keep approval numbers in the 56% range among his state's voters.

The Most Popular Governor
Alaska's Sarah Palin is the GOP's newest star.
Jul 16, 2007, Vol. 12, No. 41 • By FRED BARNES The Weekly Standard
"The wipeout in the 2006 election left Republicans in such a state of dejection that they've overlooked the one shining victory in which a Republican star was born. The triumph came in Alaska where Sarah Palin, a politician of eye-popping integrity, was elected governor. She is now the most popular governor in America, with an approval rating in the 90s, and probably the most popular public official in any state."

Palin has always been a unifying, non-polarizing figure in office, neither Palin, nor Perry has been in national office so we have to use their past effect on their constituents to judge them as polarizing, Perry winning reelection with 39% after his first term, seems to reveal a polarizing figure.

I give up...I simply give up. You are out of your mind!

I heard this once quoted and I believe is applies to my efforts in your case...."I can explain things clearly to you, but I cannot make you understand."

Go your own way...I wish you much luck. And should Mrs. Palin somehow win the nomination, comfort yourself with the fact that I will vote for her, as I think you will....but for vastly different reasons.

No need to respond to this message....you've driven my frustration level quite high enough, thank you very much.

When you think having only 24% of the voters against you as 76% do vote for you, is something that polarizing politicians receive.

When you refuse to see a Governor with sustained 80 and 90% approval ratings as unifying, then what is left to say?

Winning reelection while 61% of the people vote against you and only being able to reach 55% approval on your best days, is evidence of being a polarizing leader, that is where Perry is.

I was the NON-quiet conservative troublemaker at the MSM for far too long to be afraid of them. But, I’ve also learned how to read the RELIABLE polls well enough to realize, as I believe Gov Palin does, that it’s her message thas’s more important than her persona

I would supporter 100% if she runs. I think she will decline, prefering to be the kingmaker, rather than the candidate.

Just my (Experienced) guess

Palin has never been a polarizing figure in office, her high approval numbers, and her high reelection numbers proves that.

Palin’s reelection numbers for two different offices were 69% and 76% and of course in the governor’s office her approval was unmatched.

Don’t let the media lead you around by the nose.

On a good day.the best Perry could do would be reprise of Dubya...and that puppy won’t fly next year.

Maybe...if Dubya had never been....

You can post links all day long, as conservatives we all know how the media works, and what they strive to do to any and all conservatives, they try to do what you are doing, convince voters that the conservative is too right wing to win.

But in office, Palin has always been a non-polarizing, unifying leader, that unites people behind her.

If Perry announces you can bet they will ridicule everything about his life and family and country accent. He will be Dan Quayled and Robert Borked until you won't recognize him.

That isn't impossible. 1) They don't have enough time to do accomplish that 2) Perry has a record that proves he isn't stupid and would refute the attacks on him and 3) Liberals have failed for more than a decade to cast him that way and he has been well vetted.

You yourself just said he had the best chance of beating Obama.

The bells were not rung to warn the British. His ride wasn't about warning the British.

Sarah never said the bells were to warn the British, nor that Paul Revere's ride was to warn the British. She simply said that, when caught, Revere warned the British soldiers what was waiting for them. And she was correct. And she mentioned that as Paul Revere rode through the towns, the bells started ringing to wake up the colonists so they could ready themselves for the Regulars who were coming out of Boston.
