52 Per Cent Americans Oppose Sarah Palin
Source: Indiareport
The number of Americans viewing Sarah Palin, a top Republican leader, unfavorably has hit the highest point of 52 per cent, since she burst onto the national stage over two years ago, according to a new poll.
A new survey by Gallup suggests more than half of Americans hold a negative view of the former Alaska governor, the highest unfavorable rating Palin has ever registered since John McCain tapped her as the 2008 Republican Vice Presidential nominee.
Her 40 per cent favorable rating, meanwhile, ties her lowest score in Gallup history, registered in the fall of 2009 shortly after the glamorous politician quit her post as governor.
The latest results come from a November 4-7 Gallup poll, conducted shortly after the mid-term elections delivered some big wins as well as losses for Tea Party movement candidates, for whom Palin had actively campaigned for.
Palin's image has consistently tilted negative since July 2009, and was nearly as negative in October 2009 as it is today, the Gallup said, adding that public views on her were also more in red than in green just before the 2008 election in which the US President Barack Obama handily defeated the Republican ticket.
By contrast, Americans'initial reactions to Palin after her debut at the Republican National Convention that year were mostly favorable, it said.
Now, the 2010 midterms are over, the big question swirling around Palin is whether she will run for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.
"Given her high name recognition and broad popularity among Republicans, 80 per cent of whom now view her favorably, she is clearly in a strong position to seek it,"the Gallup said.
However, her negative image among the other party groups- 81 per cent of Democrats and 53 per cent of independents view her unfavorably, while fewer than 4 in 10 view her favorably -- casts some doubt on her viability in the general election, the agency added.
