Sarah Palin can grab voters' attention whenever she wants, but they're not ready to put her in the White House – not by a long shot.

If the 2012 presidential election were held today, and Palin was the GOP candidate, she’d get wiped out by President Obama, a new Marist poll showed Tuesday.

Only 33% of registered voters would go for Palin compared to Obama’s 56%, with 11% undecided.

Obama would pull in 92% of Democrats and Palin would get 73% of Republicans.

The President would clean Palin’s clock among amost all voting groups.

Independents would go 49% to 34% for Obama, according to the poll of 854 registered voters with a margin of error of 3.5%.

Men went for Obama 54% to 36% and women by a wider margin: 58% to 30%.

Whites favored Obama 50% to 40%, African-Americans by 99% to 1%, and Latinos 62% to 27%.

The only region where Palin held Obama under 50% was the South -- where Obama had 49% to 38% margin.

That’s not what Rasmussen said...

Horse hockey.

Sample of what and who?

Size?

How were questions asked?

Who is Marist and orgin?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I wonder if there will be mass-suicide inside the beltway when she wins?

One can only hope.

[DJ MacWoW]

Really? Is that why the SRM is still in smear mode? ;-)

[RanGreHad]

Reminds me of Reagan’s numbers in 1977 against Carter in a hypothetical matchup. Not to worry!

[Jeff Head]

Nope.

"The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil" - Sarah Palin, August 8, 2009

"We face challenging times with some hell-bent on tearing down our nation by perpetuating pessimism and apologizing for America. They suggest that our best days were yesterdays. But how can this pessimism exist? Proof of our greatness and pride is all around us today. We produce proud and great volunteers who sacrifice everything for their country.

"We can resist enslavement to big central government that crushes hope and opportunity. We must be wary of government largesse. It doesn’t come free and often accepting it takes away everything that is free. Melting into Washington’s powerful and caretaking arms will only lead to suck away the incentive to work hard and chart our own course. This will only contribute to an unstable economy and dizzying national debt, and it will make us less free.

"We don’t have to feel that we must beg an allowance from Washington – except to beg the allowance to be self-determined.

"See, in order to be self-sufficient (we) must be allowed to develop, to drill and build and climb to fulfill our promise! We can not start believing that government is the answer. It can’t make you happy or healthy or wealthy or wise. What can? It is the wisdom of the people and our families and our small businesses and industrious individuals. And it is God’s grace helping those who help themselves." - Sarah Palin, July 26, 2009

SARAH'S FAREWELL SPEECH AS GOVERNOR - GREAT READ

Sarah has now initiated her brilliant flanking manuever against the left, the DNC, the MSM and the RINOs that has them all in a frenzy wondering what her next move will be and how it will be perceived...and has them frothing at the mouth in their efforts to discredit her.

Sarah will now get her book out, go on tour, give speeches and promote conservatie principles all over this country in the midst of the Obama administration disaster and gain great political capital in the process. Then she will support conservative candidates in 2010 and help them win, amassing much more political capital. She will then take all of that and make an awesome, stunning run for the Presidency in 2012.

"...like that grizzly guards her cubs, as a mother naturally guards her own. I will keep that vow wherever the road may lead." - Sarah Palin, July 26, 2009

Like John Paul Jones before her, Sarah Palin has not yet begun to fight.

[RichInOC]

I remember how popular President Bush 41 was right after Desert Storm, a year and a half out from the 1992 elections. Everybody remember Poppy’s second term?

[ABQHispConservative]

If this is from the marist-ABC poll, then the people at Conservatives 4 Palin have an interesting note: "The Marist poll that ABC is reporting on was run from August 3rd through August 6th. It it now August 18th. I'm pretty sure some things happened between August 6th and August 18th. Namely, Palin got into the Obamacare debate and support for Obamacare plummeted."

These are unusually high numbers for three years out. Good job, Sarah. Keep it up.

[mentor2k]

Regardless . . . she still stikes panic and fear in the loony left morons.

[meadsjn]

BS. More commie propaganda.

[JerseyDvl]

Awesome post bump!

[skimbell]

Yeah and if you give 0 another year of this chit, his own kids wouldn't vote for him.

I'm not saying Palin's going to beat him, but I am saying that 0 is beating himself.

Stand back and let him do his thing.

How was Reagan polling against Carter in August 1977?

I read this story thinking that only NYers were asked.
