The new gallup poll out today has a chart on page 2 that breaks down the GOP candidates favs/unfav. Palin continues to be the most favorable candidate in the GOP field with a 69% favorable rating. She also continues to be the candidate with the highest strongly favorable ratings at 23%. This is good news as she continues to ramp up for a 2012 primary run.

Palin ‘12!!!

[Norm Lenhart]

Unpossible. The left tells us she is unelectable, a joke and not a serious candidate. (sarcasm)

You betcha!

Ooops! What will the PDSers do now? I keep being told by them that "Sarah can't win because her negatives are too high!"

I'm telling you, the lid is gonna come off this country on the day that she announces. I guarantee that she'll have over a million people volunteer to work her campaign on that day alone. It's gonna be like nothing you've ever seen.

This is why they’ve brought Trumpet into the fray; they realize that Palin has a huge lead, and nothing they’ve tried has dented it.

[Norm Lenhart]

Yup and I’m one of them.

[unseen1]

some. the poll also shows she is the most well known. with only 7% having no opinion. Mitt for all his running still has 27% that have no opinion among the gop voters. That means that Mitt has a major danger of being seen negatively by many more people as they get to know him. Or in other words mitt has not been vetted by almost a 1/3 of the republican party let alone the general population.

Poor Mitt. If he announces, Palin can take his oxygen away with an announcement 1 week later. If he keeps announcing exploratory committees, he’ll have no zip when he really announces.

He’s hamstrung by Palin.

[Signalman]

I’ve been a little disappointed in Palin lately but her recent speech in WI was quite impressive.

[unseen1]

yes the speech was one of the best I’ve heard in years

[unseen1]

problem is Trump is taking support form Mitt and other “electable” candidates

[miss marmelstein]

I haven’t done electioneering in 30 years. But I’ll be lining up at the door for Sarah.

From gallup.com:

PRINCETON, NJ -- Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who announced the formation of a presidential exploratory committee last week, is recognized by 43% of Republicans nationwide. He has a Gallup Positive Intensity Score of 13, average across the 14 potential GOP candidates Gallup tracks.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Congresswoman Michele Bachmann continue to have the highest Positive Intensity Scores among Republicans who recognize them, at 24 and 22, respectively, in Gallup Daily tracking interviews conducted April 4-17.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin follows with a Positive Intensity Score of 17, while a large group of potential candidates have slightly lower scores between 13 and 15. This group includes Texas Congressman Ron Paul, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Georgia businessman Herman Cain, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, Ambassador to China Jon Huntsman, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, and Santorum. Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour and Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels trail, with Positive Intensity Scores of 10 and 8, respectively, while former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson has a score of 0 and former Louisiana Gov. Buddy Roemer is the lowest of the group, with a score of -1.

The most recognized potential Republican candidates are Palin, Huckabee, Gingrich, and Romney -- each known by more than 8 in 10 Republicans. Paul is recognized by 72% and Bachmann by 56%. All other candidates have name identifications below 50%. (Complete data for the April 4-17 interviewing period follow on page 2.)

Positive intensity scores....

ROFL...that means they are well liked but unknown. which means they aren't vetted which means the MSM/DNC can paint them and drive up their negatives. It also means that they will have to spend millions to get their name out against candidates that will suck up the air in the room.

Or in other words gallup messaged the raw numbers to make it seem like something else. It is what the left does.

the raw numbers show Palin leading with 69% favs and with the most well known name. Or in other words fully vetted.

Heh heh heh *PING*

[Scanian]

You see what happens when you attack other FReepers who don’t agree with your choice in candidates?

The mods remove the posts.

[Norm Lenhart]

Huh? What are you referring to?
