Care to explain what Positive intensity score means?

the raw numbers are the raw numbers. I can take any raw numbers and make up some bullcrap index or score so they come out meaning something else.

However you can not fake the raw numbers. the Raw numbers show Palin at 69% fav. which is better than any other GOP candidate.

as far as the ones who don't know Huck or Bachmann. What is the chance all of them will love them? Their negatives will rise in relation to whatever positive numbers rise.

Palin is known by about everyone. She is vetted. The others aren't and candidates like huck and Tpaw who don't have a lot of money to spend will allow their opponents who do have the money to be able to paint them in the most negative light. Being unknown in a race is not a good thing.

Being unknown and broke in a race is asking to be defeated. In fact a good case can be made that Gallup simply made up the "positive intensity Score" was simply a made up leftist term so that gallup would not have to post the headline I posted. Positive intensity Socre" sounds a lot like a "kinenctic military action" doesn't it.

It’s not just that speech that I’ve heard her sound shrill and screechy. She really needs to work on that, it’s quite unpleasant, and not very “presidential” to listen to.

As I said, the message was awesome - but the delivery left some to be desired.

again with the outdated polls?

You need a new poll. try the ABC/Wapo I heard they have very skewed internals +10 dems should be right up your alley.

You have to read the poll as it was intended for it to be of any value at all.

Maybe you could ask gallup for a redo.

sure but Mitt has nice hair so vote for him. If your vote is based on something as stupid as that Mitt is more the candidate for you. Or maybe Obama, david Brooks says he has nicely creased pants.

ROFL......sure. I can read the numbers just fine. I guess you need handlers to forcefeed you the news they want you too know. forgewt you know the results of the poll itself just pay attention to what we say them mean.

do you wait for the NYT to tell you what to think also?

good lord no wonder your not a Palin supporter.

I don’t think Gallup would do it again for no reason and intentionally skew the results to make Palin look bad.

Now why would they do that? Unless they are leftist leaning like that ABC poll.

But then again, maybe they are leftist leaning too.

Palin continues to be the most favorable candidate in the GOP field with a 69% favorable rating.

That's impossible. Some FReepers told us so. </sarc>

why do you continue to use old outdated polls?

That is the latest comprehensive FOX News poll. Any poll other than FOX News will be denied by you as biased.

When the next comprehensive FOX News poll is released, if you see it first, FReep-Mail me the link and I will start using that one.

If a newer FOX News poll is already out and Sarah Palin's toxic poll numbers among ALL voters have changed in any way since the February date of the last FOX News poll, you are perfectly free to post it, prove the February numbers wrong, and become a hero of the Palin supporters.

You have followed the usual tactic of Palin supporters which is to ignore and run away from any facts that demonstrate that Palin would be an absolute disaster in a general election.

Palin supporters are doing cartwheels on this thread because it shows that Palin is doing well among Republicans. That news is as old as it gets. She has always done well among Republicans.

What is totally ignored is that 71% of ALL voters are NOT Republicans and, among those 71% of non-Republican voters, Sarah Palin's poll numbers are downright toxic.

You want a newer poll?

Okay. This Washington Post Poll was done in March

37% of ALL voters have a Favorable opinion of Sarah Palin and 55% of ALL voters have an unfavorable opinion of Sarah Palin.

"But ... but ... but... All polls other than FOX News Polls are biased."

I used the latest FOX News comprehensive poll.

"But ... but ... but... That FOX News poll was done in February."

Fine. As I said, when you see the NEXT FOX News comprehensive poll, FReep-Mail me the link and I will start using those numbers.

In the meantime, try to wrap your head around that cold, hard fact that Sarah Palin's Unfavorable poll ratings among ALL voters are above 50% and any politician with such utterly toxic poll numbers among ALL voters will guarantee Barack Hussein Obama reelection in the general Presidential Election.

I’m waiting to see who I will be supporting, I’d like to see how everyone performs in the debates. If Palin comes out on top - she’ll get my vote, but right now I’m not ready to commit to anyone. I think that if she is serious about it, she’d be doing everything she could to eliminate the negatives.

Coming from you I find that very humorous.

Actually in this poll Huck went down a few poinst in positive intensity since the last poll like this.

Bachmann and Palin rose.

You see, I take the emotion out of it.

I saw the potential GOP list in USA Today and except for Sarah Palin I will not vote or support any of them.
If Palin, Bachman or someone equally Conservative is not the GOP Nominee then I will not support or vote for said Nominee.
I have had it with the Republican Party, I find them just as Disingenuous, Corrupt and Spewing Forth Mendacity as the Democrats.
