Despite some news reports suggesting otherwise, a new poll shows that Sarah Palin was a definite asset to John McCain in his run for the White House.

According to a Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey, 69 percent of Republican voters say the Alaska governor helped McCain’s bid for the presidency. Twenty percent of GOP voters said she hurt the ticket, six percent said she had no effect, and 5 percent were undecided.

Other results of the poll:

91 percent of Republicans have a favorable view of Palin.

65 percent of Republicans have a very favorable view of Palin.

8 percent of Republicans have an unfavorable view of Palin.

3 percent of Republicans have a very unfavorable view of Palin.

64 percent of Republicans say Palin is their top choice for the GOP 2012 presidential nominee.

12 percent of Republicans say Mike Huckabee is their top choice for the GOP 2012 presidential nominee.

11 percent of Republicans say Mitt Romney is their top choice for the GOP 2012 presidential nominee.

My coworker said he lost respect for McCain choosing Palin. I asked him if he choose anyone else (even Hillary) would you of voted for him. He said no. So I said why does it matter then?
He couldn’t answer...

She actually believes in Conservative principles and ideas.

We have not had someone reflect Conservative ideas since Reagan.

She is what we have been waiting for a long time and if she can carry the mantle she is young enough to do it for 30 years or so.

Go Sarah!

The liberals...and the RINOs too...fear Sarah. They all saw the size and disposition of the crowds who came out to see her.

As they continue to diss her, her reputation among, and affinity to common Americans will only grow.

I think McCain might had something to do with with the dirt coming out about Sarah.

The fool thinks he can win in 2012.

We need closed Republican primaries in all states and to Hell with Iowa being first.

I don’t think McCain will be running for President anymore. He said (before the elections) if he had won, he would have only wanted to be a one-term president.

Don’t get conspiratorial. Even if McCain’s not vain enough to run at 76.

You know one poll, I’d like to see from week to week from Rasmussen?
A Gov Palin versus Obambi poll for 2012.
Should be interesting to see how that poll tracks in the coming years.
Gov Palin need so plot her moves carefully, and make the right interviws and appearances (no Charlie Gibson's), and set up a PAC very quick, to start raising money fast.
Obambi is going to raise close to a billion dollars for 2012. We are not going to site down and be drowned by an Obambi money machine again.

Wanna bet?
McCain is a very vain, very proud man.
That's the first thought that came to my mind(that he wants to run in 2012), when McCain continued to fail to defend Gov Palin against these dastardly attacks, allegedly from McCain's campaign staff.
