Rasmussen: 76% of GOP voters still favor Sarah Palin

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin resigned from her position last week, and tongues are still wagging. While many have written her off, Rasmussen's latest poll appears to say, "Not so fast:"
Seventy-six percent (76%) of Republican voters have a favorable opinion of Palin, even after her decision to resign as governor of Alaska, with 45% whose view of her is very favorable. Palin trails Huckabee, who unsuccessfully sought the Republican presidential nomination in 2008. Huckabee is favored by 78%, with 41% who feel very favorably toward him.
It will be interesting to see if Sarah's approval numbers continue to climb once she is out of office and able to freely travel and speak throughout the country.

As the saying goes, "Be careful what you wish for...."

Palin has such a narrow appeal, and is such a polarizing figure that she is uniquely unelectable. So, please keep championing her.

Or, if you really want to be solution focused and not just play partisan politics, then choose someone that is more appropriate. But based upon your rhetoric and history that seems beyond your desires or abilities.

The Republicans picked someone "more appropriate" last year in John McCain ... you know, the Republican who had crossed the aisle to work with Kennedy and others. He lost.

I'm conservative. Therefore, I look for conservative candidates, not those who propose to be "Democrat Lites." I'm sure you know what I mean ... I'm pretty sure you didn't vote for John McCain last year. You're too partisan and lack "solution focusing."

Guess we all have something we believe in and stand behind it. It's not a bad thing. So stop bashing me.

Heh. Why are you playing in my sandbox these days? Can't find anyone else who will play? All the other kids tired of your bullying attitude?

As an example...
Whether you are blind to it, or ignorant of it (can't do, or won't do) makes little difference, the result is the same.
The very Rasmussen poll you cite finds that Republicans view Palin as the LEAST favorable choice for candidate in 2012.

Please keep advocating your tiny tent positions!

That same Rasmussen poll found Sarah Palin to be #2 in the top 3 Republicans currently being mentioned as presidential candidates in 2012. She's between Huckabee and Romney.

"Tiny tent." Heh. You wish.

Zen, you have a lot of nerve telling me what I should and should not do on MY blog. I draw the line when you start telling me what to do and continue with your condescending, bullying comments.

I am not publishing anymore of your anonymous comments. Maybe you would like to identify yourself other than "Zen." Have the integrity to step forward. Don't like it? Cry me a river.
