60% Say Palin Run Would Hurt the GOP

Rasmussen Reports ^ | 9/2/11 | Rasmussen

[CA Conservative]

A plurality (47%) of Likely U.S. Voters believe it is at least somewhat likely that Palin will enter the presidential race, but that includes only 13% who feel it’s Very Likely. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 35% think a Palin bid is unlikely, but just five percent (5%) say it’s Not At All Likely. Eighteen percent (18%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Only 18% of voters think it would be good for Republicans if Palin entered the race. Sixty percent (60%) say it would be bad for the party, while 11% predict it would have no impact. Twelve percent (12%) are not sure.

Even most Republicans (52%) believe it would be bad for the GOP if Palin threw her hat in the ring, a view shared by 74% of Democrats and 54% of voters not affiliated with either major party.

Palin's rivals can't buy that kind of NEWS MEDIA attention!!!!!

She must be spending a fortune hiring PR staff to generate that kind of press...right? /snort :)

[SouthDixie]

SHE’S BIGGER THAN A ROCK STAR!

You are going to look stupid, IF, she ever declines running.

[DJ MacWoW]

You mean when one avoids having to address an issue they’d like to ignore?

ROTFLOLOL.

The only huge staff she will need is the staff to handle the massive onslaught of donations!!!!

[onyx]

ROTFLOL. It won’t be the first time.

[DJ MacWoW]

Were you the poster that had a post pulled for using a dirty name for Palin early in the thread?

[onyx]

Yep, same poster. The member who hit abuse wrote to me.

[SoConPubbie]

Vote for Perry.

There U R Enlightened.

Not going to happen my FRiend.

If perchance Governor Palin does not announce, then my 2nd and 3rd picks are Cain and Bachmann.

I want a movement conservative as President like Reagan, not a politician like Dole. That is what Perry is.

[DJ MacWoW]

Ha! I hit “Abuse” too! LOL

[SouthDixie]

As a matter of fact I was...your illustrious leaders did not have enough sense to delete onyx's cut, paste and reply lol

[SouthDixie]

I guess it is “dirty”, when it has not occured to you, you are being screwed.

[DJ MacWoW]

.your illustrious leaders

So you aren't a FReeper. What's home for you? Kos? DU? HuffPo?

True. Your post remains for all to see the real you.

[Ditter]

Tragic! Blind stupidity! Someone said the other day that they would vote for Joren VanderSloot if he got the Republican nomination. That makes more sense than these single issue or single personality voters.

We must bounce this obumbo out of the WH if our country is to survive.

I love Sarah Palin and all she stands for but folks she isn't in the race. If she gets in the race I very well may for for her but to announce that you will vote for her even if she isn't on the ballot is insanity.

[Ditter]

Sorry I mean to say “makes as much sense” .

[SouthDixie]

So, if my head isn’t up Sarah Palin’s butt, I am the enemy...my gosh, regroup and get a clue. ffs

[CajunConservative]

I don’t think she would have won, she would have done well but the dumb meme did a lot of damage among voters. The libs, moderates and independents can’t stand her. And according to the current polling her numbers are going down among the GOP voters.

[trisham]

Try not to be crude.

You blew it. Sarah Palin didn't remove that post.

Your Post 330: As a matter of fact I was...your illustrious leaders did not have enough sense to delete onyx's cut, paste and reply lol

[DJ MacWoW]

I ignore polling. It’s a false indicator.
