Only 33 percent of Republicans questioned in a CBS News survey released Monday night say that Palin would have the ability to serve effectively as president. Last fall, 71 percent of registered Republicans felt that way.
"It's unclear whether the change in Republicans' view of Palin is the result of her decision to step down as governor, or whether the GOP rank-and-file felt they had to defend their party's vice-presidential nominee during the campaign but don't feel the same tug of party loyalty today," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "Either way, this is bad news for Palin, whose first task in 2012, if she runs for the White House, will be to convince Republican primary voters to support her."
Looks like her big publicity splash didn't move people on the key question: can she handle the big job?
Contrast that with the 70% that see Obama as a "strong leader"...
Also, a majority the GOP thinks she resigned in order to, ahem, indulge her selfish motives.
Fifty-two percent of all respondents in the CBS survey said that Palin is resigning because she thinks its better for her political career, with one in four agreeing with Palin's comments that her resignation would benefit Alaska. Most Democrats and independents feel Palin's resignation is politically motivated, while Republicans appear divided, with 36 percent indicating the move is to advance her political career and 31 percent agreeing with Palin's explanation.
"That's another indication that Palin may face a skeptical GOP primary audience if she chooses to run for president," Holland says.
These are not numbers of someone who wins the GOP primary.
I don't know whether to be sad or happy, but I do think it's hilarious.
Also, the first troll comment is a very well executed wingnut statistics fail:
This is a joke;
Another CNN Research poll conducted by Keating Holland....where he polled 944 people, out of a country of millions. Those polled where undoubtedly in support of Obama....so what do you expect from a slanted poll? Slanted results. CNN will censor this I'm sure, but it appears that this news organization is fixated on destroying the life and career of someone who's not even committed to running for president! How unprofessional is that? How about just leaving her alone, and report on those in Washington that are skewing and stretching our country out of shape?
This just makes my day.
