WASHINGTON (CNN) – Americans appear to be souring on Sarah Palin, according to a new national poll.
Thirty-nine percent of people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Wednesday have a favorable opinion of the former Alaska governor and last year's Republican vice presidential nominee. That's down seven points from a poll conducted in May, and it's also nine points lower than the 48 percent who now say they now view Palin unfavorably. Forty-three percent viewed Palin negatively in May.
"Most of that change has come among Republicans and conservatives," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "GOP voters still like Palin - two-thirds continue to have a favorable view of her - but she is not as wildly popular among GOPers as she was in the spring, when eight in ten Republicans had a favorable view of her."
It's unclear if the drop in Palin's rating is due to her resignation as Alaska governor, a year and a half before her first term ends, or if anything else she has done is contributing to the dip in her numbers. The poll was conducted July 31 through August 3, before national coverage of Palin's stinging criticism of President Barack Obama's health care reform proposals.
Palin is considered one a number of Republicans who may want to make a bid for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination.
"A 39 percent favorable rating makes it that much tougher for Palin to become president should she decide to run in 2012. Her favorable rating is almost identical to the numbers that former vice president Dan Quayle got just after leaving office in 1993," says Holland.
Quayle formally declared himself a presidential candidate in 1994 but withdrew from the race in 1995.
The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll was conducted by telephone, with 1,136 people questioned. The survey's sampling error is plus or minus three percentage points for the overall sample and plus or minus 6.5 percentage points for the questions of Republican respondents.

Every body is seeing her for who she is which is a lying racist fool that still mad that she lost and what to make President Obama life a living hell. It will be below 20 percent by 2012.
It appears that FINALLY people are getting a reality grip on Sarah Palin. She has nothing to offer as a potential POTUS except negativity, close mindedness, and ultra conservativtism. However, she should still run for President........makes Obama a shoe-in for 2012.
What republicans don't realize is that the MAJORITY of America is tired of hate, lies and fear that is so typical of the republican party and palin represents that well. She is a pathological liar, incites hatred. Hate, like a flame, eventually fizzles out. People are tired of the negativity. Most of us are becoming enlightened however there are still some (who make up the conservative/republican base that are not.)
again....who gives a good gosh darn?!
She couldn't dip any lower to me, never liked her and never will. She's evil and a liar to boot.
Why did we waste money on this poll? Is she in office? She is a private citizen and she has the right to voice her opinion, whether or not you agree with her. Leave her alone!
Sarah is the biggest political joke that I have ever witnessed
QUICK!!!
Obama's poll numbers are dropping like a stone.... Run more ticker articles on Governor Stanford's affair and Sarah (no longer in Government) Palin's "poll numbers".
We've got to do SOMETHING to deflect the focus OFF Obama's nose-dive in popularity!
she is still way ahead of Nancy PeLIEsi.
A 39 percent favorable rating makes it that much tougher for Palin to become president should she decide to run in 2012. Her favorable rating is almost identical to the numbers that former vice president Dan Quayle got just after leaving office in 1993," says Holland.
Sara Palin is Dan Quayle in a dress!
When all else fails...do a negative story on Palin. That's what this is. WHO CARES???? WHY do you continue to go after Sarah Palin?? She is not the devil!!! All the DNC knows is how to hate people. When they don't have a good thing to say...they trash the other side. If it's not Bush it's Palin. Oh...and let's not forget the protestors. The funny thing is half the protestors aren't conservative...these are ALL people who hate the healthcare plan.
You are all making huge, huge errors in judgment and the conservatives are going to capitalize on it.
What about Palin again?
What on earth is this about? Ratings? Hate Sarah Palin and get ratings? Is CNN really this desperate?
Anyone who supports this evil lying airhead needs their head examined this woman is bad for America! All she does is ignite fear,anger,Its scary to me there are people walking around supporting and beliving the things this monster tells them now that is SCARY!
Sarah Palin has been shrill, whining, extreme, inconsistent, incoherent, blames everyone but herself and didn't finish what she started when she quit as Governor. Other than that, I can't imagine why her public approval ratings are dropping.
I am shocked!! Are they sure?
On a scale of 1-10 she gets a -10. Who told her to get into politics in the first place?
Perhaps her favorability rating is slipping because has continued to show that she has no depth of knowledge about anything, she says things that are so far fetched and out there that it tends to ruin her credibility, and she frankly isn't very bright.
No matter how "faithful" republicans are to Palin, its getting hard to explain why she cut and ran as governor and to defend her "death panel" statements.
Even "loyalists" know that she should have finished her elected term of office. This was an opportunity to show what her leadership style would be ... and its basically cut and run. When the going got tough – she went fishing.
Can't she disappear in the sunset. John McCain made one big mistake when he put her name in the limelight. Now she can't shut up. Should stay home, put her husband to work, and take care of her family.
Just like the GOP, eventualy people see right through the hypocrites and say goodbye. The good old boy's club with some boot licking women are going down just like the Nazis and commies.
I'm waiting for the shoe to drop. Whenever Obama gets in trouble in the polls and in the news something drastic happens to distract everybody. I wonder what it will be this time. Whatever it is...it will be fake and orchestrated by the Obama people and the liberal news.
I seriously can't think of one thing horrendous Sarah Palin ever did. Honestly...what has she done? I can't think of one thing. The liberals hate her?? That's not a reason to do story after story after story of NOTHING. Get over it....this is getting OLD.
I do not think anyone cares but CNN. I take that back as Jack Cafferty writes about her every other article. As men we all know Palin is physically attractive but Cafferty may need to reign that in a little.
QUICK! HURRY! ObamaCare is crashing and burning!
Throw out a Palin story to get the libs foaming at the mouth!
Gee, do you think that CNN might be trying to deflect attention from the administration's nightmare involving nationalized healthcare???
Not a shocker! The woman's a has-been and a corporate shill. Time to move on, America!
What is the pre-occupation with a Vice Presidential candidate that is no longer campaigning to be VP, unlike the Socialist Obama (Joke, Hitler, Used Car Salesman) that is never out of campaign mode, yet his Polls are dropping like a hot potatoe, thanks to his Moscow ideology.
Good. Maybe they're finally waking up to the fact that she's a dumb-as-a-stump quitter.
If CNN didn't have Rove ,Palin and Bush to regenerate the libs hate what ever would you do? Getting harder and harder to protect "your clowns" now in power isn't it!
"It's unclear if the drop in Palin's rating is due to her resignation as Alaska governor, a year and a half before her first term ends, or if anything else she has done is contributing to the dip in her numbers.

WELL DA!!!!! She's a quitter, I mean She's not a quitter ya know. Being govenor was just to hard for her, somebody really needs to give this lady a reality check and soon
CNN, why do you keep posting stuff on Palin? Is it an effort to distract us from everything else going on in the world? This is silly. Focus on REAL news. Do some investigative reporting – whether about cash for clunkers, the health bill proposals, the budget debate coming up in September, nuclear ambitions of Iran and North Korea,... The list is endless.
I do not believe that the GOP'ers are no longer supporting Palin, she is a true republican, she acts, looks, & smells like one.....she speaks with a forked tongue, a hypocrite, & will do what ever to make herself look good that means using her family whoever to succeed...
Why does a quitter get so much airtime...WE ARE SICK OF HEARING ABOUT SARAH PALIN....(notice the use of capital letters to express my repulsion!)
Could this finally be the nail in the Palin coffin?
Sarah who?????????//
I hope Caribou Barbie does run in 2012. It'll make re-electing the president a certainty. The only people who have any shred of a favorable opinion of this dolt are the GOP sheep that Rush and Hannity raised.
If you're trying to do trend analysis, why in the world would you look at one poll in two different points in time (as done here)? There are poll aggregators that take the results from numerous polls conducted at numerous times.
Incidentally, they likewise show a general decline in Palin's favorability albeit at a slow and steady pace since about September, not the dramatic jump this post attempts to portray.
She's nuts.
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then. I hope Satrah sticks around for a while, she's had a big hand in putting the GOP into the sad state they're in today.
All that's going on, and CNN is still obsessed with Palin!!!! It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.....
Palin seems to scare the HECK out of CNN!!!
No new news here. this woman is a nut case. I'm so glad she is not the VP
Thank sarah, you will be remembered.
Why has it taken Americans so long to understand that Palin is a total Wacko? She has made the -most irresponsible- comments involving health care; Death Panels ect! Can you even imagine that person being a Vice President with the possibility of becoming President !!!!!!!
That would have been a national disaster....
A snake can't hide its fangs forever.
If that poll was taken today, after her outlandish lies about the health care plan it would be even lower. She has destroyed what little
credibility she had.
A person with her ego, quest for the headlines and spot light, lack
of intelligence is bound to self destruct, which she is doing.
A couple of weeks ago her popularity in Alaska had crashed to
the mid forties, probably lower now.
And, gosh, even CNN is forced to admit she is not "the one".
Palin should have never pointed out that President Obama's "Independent Medicare Advisory Council” will, if enacted, reduce and eventually eliminate care for many elderly and disabled people.
All you have to do is look it up on the internet.
Spin doctors gleefully pretended she was talking about something else and she was unfairly vilified for telling the truth.
But you can forget Palin, she's just being used. The real "evil" is President Obama's proposed "Independent Medicare Advisory Council.”
You can read about it on the White House's own website.
I love that women, and just hope she gets the GOP nomination in 2012!! Obama should then carry all 50 States, and we Libs will have nothing to worry about.
I'm still trying to figure out why a "favorable view of Palin" exists in the first place. The woman is despicable. I mean, Death Panels? Blatant falsehoods liek that should trigger an ethics violation: she knew exactly how accurate that comment was (i.e., not at all). What we should have is Stupidity Panels...and she can be the first one to go before them.
Does CNN have any significant news to cover? CNN needs to move on to something more important than this garbage.
Maybe because they are seeing her for the ego maniac but ignorant white trash that she is?
I'd like to see her lobotomized. Then she will be like the rest of the GOP.
Sarah Palin is a joke.... lacks educations and makes incredibly misguided comments... She has essentielly called Obama a terrorist (by association) a communist and evil. Is this the action of someone who should be taken seriously for the presidency.... Incredible! By the way Palin.. where in the bill did it mention Death Panel?? Elected to "lead" not read should be your 2012 campaign slogan
Hey, we are doing what she wants us to! We liked her, and just as we were about to REALLY like her......we simply quit!
39% have a favorable opinion? SCARY, VERY SCARY
When is this woman going to go away? In any battle of wits she comes in half-armed.
Her poll number are dipping thanks with the help of CNN's slanted coverage of her. Good job destroying a potentially great role model for young women.
*Now* can we get back to discussing serious issues? Who cares about this clown?
Yawn!!! Who cares....I still like her and I would vote for her again if she runs again for office. Another average American getting attacked again. While I don't agree with President Obama (or voted for him when I was a Dem) I would not wish any ill towards him. That's the difference when you are too far to the right and left, your hearts are mean!
oh come on!.....republicans love her self centered ego and her crude mouth and her spewing hatred even if its all just a pack of lies. They could care less. She is the ideal for the republican party and everyone knows it.
I predict she will move to the lower 48 by years end...make a pile money being a jerk with no redeeming qualities and by the end of 2010 she will run for President.
She will lose of course because the Nation as a whole would never put this ice cube in office but that will be ok with her because its the cameras and attention she craves most. Not the office, not the common good, not America, not the win....its all about getting attention.
Shocker that a CNN poll has Palin numbers down. Try a Fox News Poll.
Doesn't matter either way, I don't want Palin representing my party anwyay.
if conservatives are true to their calling, as GOPers claim, then the motto of Blessed Be the Peacemakers should resonate.....When Ms. Palin 'runs at the mouth' with accusations and allegations before thinking through the consequence or truth of her words then truely she is not acting as the peacemaker or truth teller. I suspect that is playing a big role in the decrease of her popularity.
Maybe she will disappear all together. Hopefully.
Maybe the fools and racists in this country are FINALLY realizing how dumb she is. Unlike what the politically correct media in this country would like you to believe, CNN and MSNBC especially, there really are dumb people in this world who aren't cut for public office. DUmb people DO exist. Doesn't matter if you're a mother (a la Nora Jones of MSNBC), like giving birth to a child is a special prerequisite to being president, or if you're a woman (a la CNN and MSNBC). If you're unintelligent, smart, rural, uneducatred about issues or anything for that matter, you aren't fit to lead anything. How laid back and rural must Alaskans be to elect somebody like that? Ughh.
If she keeps opening her big, dun=mb mouth about health care coverage, another topic of which she knows nothing about, her ratings will drop to zero. It appears as if the "crusade" by the radicalized christian right and its yellow-bellied buddies on republican talk radio, is starting to backfire, and these numbers for Palin just tend to confirm it. Good. Keep talking Sarah. You're digging your on grave and taking Rush, Sean, and that racist Sessions with you. We thank you.
Why are we even concerned over Sarah Palin? What is the obsession with her and the news media? She doesn't even hold an office anymore! Get over it! This is not news.
do we really need to be giving Sarah Palins thoughts any purpose? Really? I wish she'd just disappear off the screen, never to be seen again!
This woman is truly nothing more than a pathological liar. No one can throw out the lies as she does and not have some sort of mental imbalance.
It is refreshing to see that others are finally waking up to her idiosyncracies. Any other politician displaying the antics she displays would have been laughed out of the arena months ago.
Having said that, I hope she continues to receive the limelight she so craves. Each time she speaks, the GOP suffers more credibility problems.
She continues to be the gift that just keeps on giving to the democrats.
Goodbye
and thank goodness.
Well as long as she keeps making the comments she has been, especially the Death Panel one is what is destroying her. Who wants a person like that in the white house. I think it will be very hard with only 23 percent reoublicans left to get a republican in the white house for a good many of years to come. Look how the republicans are conducting them selves at the town hall meetings, it is a disgrace. I am so glad that I no longer belong to this party.
Sarah Palin is nice lady. She catches fish. I like fish, my precious. She is mean to nassty democratses. We like her, don't we my precious? Have nice day!
It's unclear why her numbers dipped? How about the fact that she is not that smart? She's a JOKE. Keep up the reporting on her though...it's entertaining!
No,Really?hahaha
During the election, Palin mocked then-candidate Obama for his work as a community organizer, in the process insulting the countless thousands/millions who give their time and energy to bettering their own communities, often without pay.
She mocked then-candidate Obama for "only" having written a couple of books, but didn't hesitate to cash in on her celebrity status and sign a lucrative book deal.
She touted her toughness by telling us how she could field dress a moose and by comparing herself to a pitbull, yet after returning to her governorship and the going was getting tough (and she felt lonely for all the media attention), she quit, insulting everyone's intelligence by expecting us to believe her lame excuses.
Palin is a desperate, nasty, loser hypocrit. It's not surprising her "numbers" are dipping.
If she is dipping, it is probably due to the continuous negative coverage the DNC state run media (CNN) gives her. Lets just hope they keep degrading her like they have the TEA parties and the protesters for whatever Hussein calls the health care debate now (it keeps changing as part of the "lets see what we can do to fool the people today" campaign) this thuggish administration is carrying on. A CNN poll means so little, they only ask dope smoking, non working liberals (is there any other kind).
The reason that she is sinking is because she thinks like southerners republicans. Those people have a mentality of hate and ignorance.
"...her stinging ***AND PROVEN 100% FALSE, LIE-FILLED, FEAR-MONGERING*** criticism of President Barack Obama's health care reform proposals."
I fixed it for you to make it accurate, since CNN refuses to do so itself. You're welcome.
If you are using a CNN pole to judge how Palin is doing, you are always going to get a skewed vote, Normal people don't listen to or view CNN. If Fox takes a pole it will be 180 degrees.
Why doesn't CNN investigate how Dingle supportors held up a natzi symbol saying Obama is a natzi. Then went and passed out info pro Obama. Hard to believe, the poor dem's would do such a thing, particularly since Obama's press conferences and community meetings are stacked with supporters. that has been proved in the past by other news stations other than Fox.
PALIN IS HONEST, that scares the hell out of the left, and some onthe right, because honesty in Washinton is not a pre-requisite to be a federal government official. Even at very top.
Palin loses 8 points in popularity and it's a " dip " ....President Obama loses one point and it's a " plummet " ....funny how you can create and shape the news .....huh CNN ??
And every time she opens her mouth and speaks, that approval rating will only go lower. Americans are finally getting it – she speaks nonsense, and often.
Sarah has been all about herself and not about the country. She thrives in all the limelight but unfortunately is not a very bright bulb herself!!!
If Sarah Palin wants to be taken seriously, she needs to stop her incendiary comments and discuss issues intelligently. It's hardly "presidential" – or even responsible – to lie about one of the possible health care reform bills and refer to "death panels" that don't exist. Personally, I think she's hoping to be the next radio shock-jock a la Rush Limbaugh; it makes sense with her sensationalist and whining nature – and it pays a heck of a lot more than the presidency!
This woman isn't going away anytime soon. ALL of this analyzing and debating is pretty much pointless right now. It is too early in the game. BUT, if Palin plays her hand right, and President Obama REALLY messes things up, she has a sure shot at the Presidency.
And if she chooses someone like Mitt Romney to run along side of her, the Obama Administration is in trouble.
Perhaps we should remind the media, that a favorable view of politicians in general, and congress specifically, is dipping to the bottom of the barrel.
People don't like her because she's a quitter and can only deliver one type of speech. And that one type is usually misleading and given with the tone of a snarky and sarcastic high school kid trying to make Student Council President.
GO AWAY SARAH!!
d'uh... she's a dope. Her noterity comes from her sex appeal, but like any piece of booty, if that's all you've got then your star won't shine for long.
Palin's "death panel" comment was unconscionable, and she deserves the fallout from her idiotic and divisive rhetoric. What an odious woman.
you got to be kiddin!! sarah is floating like a dead fish???
This woman is a complete moron. Period.
I'll take Sarah Palin over the Marxist jerk in the White House (below 50% approval rating now) any day!
It's amazing, 39% still give her favorable ratings! We have met the enemy, and they is us!!!
gee..do you think it's because people are finally seeing her for what she is – an empty suit?
Why are the libs so scared of this Woman ?
Note to republicans: "rammed down our throats" is the catch phrase this week. Be sure to use this phrase in any discussion of healthcare reform. Have a nice day!
The main reason that it keeps dropping is that she keeps opening her mouth and making idiotic comments. I am certainly no fan of hers but I do believe that if she would think about things before she opens her mouth she would have a lot less detractors. While it may be possible that she is more intelligent than she appears her image continues to suffer due mainly for her penchant for opening her mouth and exercising her vocal cords.
Palin is NOT concerned whether her children have health care coverage.. like President Obama is trying to get for everyone who wants the coverage...she is concerned with death squads she says.. who are going to kill the old people... she is strange...
It's about time.
I think the biggest news story is....who in the world is this 39%?? Seriously?? How can anyone see her favorably?
Why has it takne so long for Republicans and conservatives to see Palin is just a bag of hot air? It would seem that after seeing interviews with her that she was nothing more than a Hockey mom.
How could any one consider her as anything else. An incomplete term as an Alaska governor is not much to brag about.
The woman is out of her mind. Period.
Sarah Who?
Y'all wouldn't lie... Would you.
Still whackin on Sarah– Y'all can't abuse her enough to suit yourself
CNN's golden child is dropping in the polls and, thus, runs a Palin story to make the lib monkeys feel all warm and hateful. CNN, your too predictable....
I cram to understand why this woman is still being discussed. She is a quitter and seems to be stirring up hate and fear amongst those who choose to listen. Can anyone imagine what Vice President Palin would be like?
No one should be surprised that her popularity is dipping.
She's becoming the same kind of big-mouth that we already know as Rush Limbaugh. The two of them should join forces and go up in flames together.
It's going to happen to both of them anyway. May as well have a great finale.
Palin a few weeks ago: "Can y'all in the media quit makin' stuff up?"
Palin a few days ago: "Obama's death panels would kill my baby."
Part of the reason people don't like her is that she apparently has all the self-awareness of a rock.
She's irrelevant, a passing fancy. She'll fade away like other failed politicians. Please stop reporting on her so she can.
14 minutes 59 seconds and counting.
Not to sound sexist by any means, but let's be honest; if Palin wasn't attractive (face and body), she wouldn't have been or ever be given the time of day. She has nothing to contribute to governmental discourse. The most amazing thing about Palin is that she's the most unqualified, uncurious, simpleton (she trumps Dan Quale) that ever made it as far as she has. And she's going to be wealthy for such an achievement. Only in America!
Are we to be surprised by that? Her own party rolls their eyes at her. I suspect those numbers will continue to drop once she writes a book.
Verbal vomit will be all over those pages. Her own agendas, that most folks don't agree with, will dominate her book. It will be big continuous defend herself party on those pages.
I'm sure she will attempt to make herself a peach of a gal you betcha!
When I women support her, I just shake my head. Their are ladies working at many postions who could a better job of running this counrty than her.
Since she completely lied about "death panels" and once again is using her children as props, I am hoping the number of unfavorable spikes. However there will still be the sheep that cling to the fantasy that this dimwit is capable of running the country but I have given up hope for them. They are being more and more marginalized as loons so let them think what they want. The downside to this trend is that Fido is losing her chance to become the GOP candidate in 2012 (Please please please do) so she can quit in October thus ensuring her utter embarrassment
Duh
Peace
What about President Obama "declining" poll numbers????? Palin is not our PRESIDENT! Why are you so concern about her poll numbers for crying out loud!
Have the the guts to "try" to be somewhat objective.
Could you please keep this jerk off tv, she's a idiot not worth the tv time, please get rid of her.
Palin is intellectually inept and her appeal amongst a certain segment of the populace begs for sympathy and pity.I have never been sympathetic to intellectual frauds in her mold whose quest for attention is to whip up sentiment amongst the public.Her latest effontery in categorizing the health care debate in semantical summersaults ""Obamas Death Panels"" and the inuendoes about her challenged child and old parents is an assault to the intelligence of the American public.
Sarah Palin makes reckless comments which hurt the dialogue going on in the country. I can deal with constructive criticism and alternative plans which make sense. I cannot tolerate the nasty name calling that is going on with some of the far left. They do not speak for me.
PATH TO THE DARK SIDE!
Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. Palin is the poster child for inciting this.
She's a clown, period!!!
Wow, it's refreshing to see that a majority Americans didn't buy into her rant about President Obama secretly wanting to use new health care legislation to grind up the elderly and handicapped into free meatloaf for illegal Mexican immigrants. Or whatever crazy tripe she was spewing last week.
Since when did lying become the same as "stinging criticism?" Mr. Steinhauser, you should be ashamed of yourself for giving any semblance of legitimacy to Palin's absurd and fanciful version of Obama's health care reform. Repeating what people say without regard to the truth of those statements is NOT the same as journalistic nuetrality.
Sarah Palin makes reckless comments which hurt the dialogue going on in the country. I can deal with constructive criticism and alternative plans which make sense. I cannot tolerate the nasty name calling that is going on with some of the far right. They do not speak for me.
Wow, people are really beginning to realize what an incredible twit this person is! Got anymore lies to spread Silly Sarah??
Hiliarious. The media relentlessly trashes this woman and her family every single day for a over a year and then sanctimoniously reports that her approval rating is dipping. What a joke our media is.
If Barak Obama and his friends and family had been scrutinized (or trashed) one third as much as Palin, the American people may have actually had sense enough not to elect him. Sarah Palin is a good example of what happens to politicians who stand up to the special interest and rejects the status quo. As the saying goes, people usually deserve the government they have....and we do.
Big deal. The left does not like her. News flash, the right does not like Obama. His poll numbers are dipping too.
THE PATH TO THE REPUBLICAN-SIDE
Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering....this is the path Palin will lead you down. See the similarities?
It's about time people woke up.
It terrifies me to hear "Sarah Palin" and "Presidential Candidate" used in the same sentence.
I hope she decides to go for the money and leave politics to pursue a career as an annoying talk show host.
Even though her ratings have dropped, she is still over rated in my mind and her 15 minutes should have expired months ago.
Sarah? Sarah who?
Everytime she opens her mouth she dips further in the polls
palins 15 min.of fame has been over a long time just the thought of mcain and palin in the white house and mcain having to lose power and palin becoming president should scare the hell out of any-one with half a brain this lady is crazy and one fry short of a happy meal
this is really quite a race to the bottom..................Sarah or Obozo......I like Obozo ro edge her out..............getting tossed in 2012 will do the trick
This woman deserve to represent some banana republic and not most advance country on earth..
39% favorable is still way too high? What is wrong with people?
Palin's 15 minutes of fame only lasted 5 minutes.
It took a while, but finally even the conservatives are seeing Palin for the flake that she is. The fact that 39% still hold a favorable rating of her is proof of two axioms: (1) you can fool some of the people all of the time, and (2) never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
Quitter YES, but its the lies she is spreading about Obama's health insurance overhall that is making her drop in the polls.. We aren't all as
stupid as you are Sarah. Bye Bye!!
Maybe, just maybe, folks are beginning to realize what a moron this person is.
If CNN does not stop reporting on this crazy I'm going to have to cut it out of my life. Enough is enough. Stop giving this idiot a platform.
Oops, that wasn't suppose to be a question. 39% approval is still way too high!!!! What is wrong with these people?
If she was fat and ugly the wouldnt even be news.
How can anyone take Sarah seriously? Why is she even in the news? I realize there are hard core conservatives who will support her regardless of what stupid thing she does or says but cant' the Republicans do any better then this? She is an embarrassment for U.S. politics.
Palin's fear mongering and lies are backfiring. We're all getting sick of gullible idiots yelling and acting like morons. We want to see some RESULTS, not more Republicans trying to scare everyone and blocking progress on everything from A to Z.
CNN-
What is wrong with you? Nobody has cared about this woman since her party lost the 2008 presidential race and nobody seriously expects her to be a contender in 2012. There are more serious issues in the world today than a mediocre quitter governor whom everybody already knows to be good for only one thing: making fun of.
Woo Hoo CNN's daily Sarah Palin bashing. Can not wait to read the hate blogged in this one. What is this a news network or the national Enquirer on the internet?
This is why more average people do not try to become elected public servants and because of it we end up with an elitists class ruling over us, limiting our freedom and liberty at every chance.
Since when does fabricating lies about government 'death panels' count as "stinging criticism of President Barack Obama's health care reform proposals."?
Wow out of the lime light and she is still talked about. I guess she should get a radio show like Rush or be a comatator like Bill O Rielly, and or Glenn Beck. This way she can stay in the lime light and voice her outlandish moronic opinions. Way to go "Death Panel" girl. She has been a joke as a choice for the VP, a joke for Alaska, and a bigger joke now that she stepped down. Got to love the GOP and the say no or just quit club.
That 39% pretty much represent the most ignorant people in this country. Good place to start culling the herd is at a Palin rally.
CNN....again with the Palin story! Does this women sit in the House or Senate? Until she does, her opinions mean nothing!
Palin was a pea-sized meteor with a brain to match. She's clearly lazy, all mouth and no action, uninformed, and a liar. What clearly has happened is that a small-time hood got a taste of the big-time and it went straight to her head. But now that she's quit what brought her attention, she will slowly but surely fade and be a has been.
However, she may rake in millions (maybe) from a book that may never be finished or published, and McCain is determined to pay back the Republicans for making him select her, by pushing her into the limelight and thus belittling the GOP's image and assuring them continued irrelevance and maybe even extinction in a few years.
Sarah Palin is a loose canon nothing else. She's a quitter though she denies it! Can you imagine her being President of the United States and when the heats on she'll step down.
She's nothing but a noisy cong! She should just go home and take care of her family; teaching her daughter moral principles!
"While it may be possible that she is more intelligent than she appears her image continues to suffer due mainly for her penchant for opening her mouth and exercising her vocal cords."
Change the gender to male, and you've got George Bush all over again. AND WE ALL KNOW HOW THAT WORKED OUT, don't we.
Is she wearing a bump-it?
Why is it astonishing to some that her ratings are dropping? What is truly surprising, is that she had such a following in the first place. Doesn't speak well for the mentality of the nation when a woman (although cute and sexy) is actually, seriously being considered to hold a high office in our country.
You state it is not clear weather the low numbers are due to her quitting her position as Governor, or something else she did. Why don't you consider another explanation for low numbers: the continuous bad press she gets from the media and the slams from Democrats? It is unimaginable that you are too naive to consider this rival hypothesis for Palin's low poll numbers.
Finally, some thinking people are polled. I really don't want to dislike the Republican party. I'm a long time Republican....but they have got to get rid of the Palins, Newts, Limbaughs, Hannitys, O'Reillys....these people scare me. We don't need the hate they spew....and most of them aren't very smart.
I'm amazed that 39% have a positive view of this woman - I mean, just how dumb are these people? I guess these are the same hysterical people showing up at the town halls demanding that "the goverment keep their hands off my Medicare" and believing Palin's crap about the government wanting to euthanize the elderly.
One loser done and one lying bigmouth to go,Rush Limbaugh.hahaha.Hes having a coronary on his show now,keep up the great work crushers.Call and email the lying bigmouth,he claims he loves the calls from those apposed to his message because it gives him the chance to change your mind.Lets see what he really does.hahaha
Most of the mainstream GOPers who supported Palin initially, did so only beacuse her position as a Governor gave her some legitamacy despite all the PR failures, attack on Dems, Attack on City dwellers, liberals, Pro-abortionists, Gay-Rights and her ignorance of World Geography/affairs and her own hypocracy about family values despite her teenage daughter being a single mom. Now that all that Bad Karma has come back to get her she took the easy way out and Quit instead of fighting them. If this is what she did in Alaska then what about National Politics ? Is she going to Quit on us at the crucial hour ? When the going gets tough, then comes time for Palin to Quit !
When the pressure is on, she resort to lies. She lied big-time about the health care bill. EIther she was totally clue less about the bill (she seems to be clue less about everything) or she just out and lied. Either way, she can not be president.
Now ... Can we send her to "The Death Panel" for a review? And I thought her son, Trig, was the one with special needs.
Hey, you guys leave that woman alone! She's the only thing keeping the death panels from putting my dog to sleep!
Don't worry folks! Palin won't run for President. She doesn't have the stomach for it and she knows it will be a DOGFIGHT. She can't handle it!
Inside her brain she knows she truly doesn't have what it takes to be Pres or VP. She will never admit this though.
But I am sure she just LOOOOVES all of the attention and all of the "please run for President" comments she gets from the whackos!
She loves the limelight.
You heard it here first: SHE WON'T RUN FOR PRESIDENT. Thank the Lordy!
We all understand how state-controlled CNN and other media are out to destroy Palin, who is neither in office nor an official candidate for anything. They fear her great attraction to the non-liberal populace and want to pre-empt any possible threat to Obama in 2012. This is textbook Obama Protection and Propoganda 101.
I think the more interestinng story is how the President's polls are plummeting and the level of outright rejection of his socialistic policies, such as Obamacare. Stop obsessing on Palin and start reporting the current, relevant news!
I never thought very much of Sarah Palin but often times found her lack of knowledge amusing. I remember laughing to my self when she claimed that one reason she was going to resign was because she did not want to be a Lame Duck. I thought to myself that if that was the case then every politician would serve on a portion of a term and then resign if he or she didn't want to be a Lame Duck but wouldn't that make them a Lame Duck if they knew that at election time. That being the case then they should resign as soon a they take office. I just think she is so funny with her humor. She is a good comedian.
Please, stop reporting on Sarah. Who cares about Palin? She has consistently identified and proven herself as a nut job. She quit her job because she is no quitter. How does that make sense? Now she is fueling the misinformation fire started by the republican party of No. Oxi Rush and Sarah should hook up and be the nut job couple of the century. Please get this nobody off the reporting cycle. There is lots important infomation and facts that need to be reported. Without hesitation I can assure you nothing, I repeat, NOTHING Sarah has to say is factual, based on fact, or important.
Palin should have never pointed out that President Obama's "Independent Medicare Advisory Council” will, if enacted, reduce and eventually eliminate care for many elderly and disabled people.
Spin doctors everywhere gleefully pretended she was talking about something else and she was unfairly vilified for telling the truth.
But you can forget Palin, she's just being used. The real "evil" is President Obama's proposed "Independent Medicare Advisory Council.”
You can read about it on the White House's own website...
What took the American people so long ? She was a disaster waiting to happen from the very beginning !
Seems Ms. Palin actually made a good point about the news media a while back:
"Quayle formally declared himself a presidential candidate in 1994 but withdrew from the race in 1995."
Complete fiction. He didn't run for president until early 1999 and dropped out after the Iowa straw poll late summer. The writer apparently knew he ran for president, but completely made up the timescale.
Real good journalism, folks. And we wonder why the public continues to become increasingly misinformed.
Yeah!! I new there was hope.
I guess that means only 39% of Americans need to seek psychiatric treatment.
The pharmaceutical companies have something for them...
Sarah Palin may be an intellectual leper but she does have one ace in her deck.
Her approach isn't the stuff of legends...she merely preys upon the bigotry, the simple-mindedness, the hatred, and the fear of those who don't see the need to ever travel within 10 miles of their place of birth.
Wrap that package up with a (at present time but not forever) pretty face, folksy slack jaw redneck jargon and $150,000.00 worth of Victoria's Secret undies and this is why she is still around.
Have respect for the Lady fools. She's got more balls to stand up and try to make a difference then any of you yahoo's that criticize her. I don't see you taking a stand to make a difference. I only see these immature comments which shows you are TOTALLY clueless at how the process works! It's people like YOU that voted these boneheads into office and the reason why our country is the way it is today! HA, at least your suffering with me. Idiots! Plus, she's got great legs.
Sarah Palin -aka-:
The Quitter
The Divider
The Hater
The Animal Killer
The Twit of Twitter
The Extreme Right Winger
The Uneducated
The Whiner
The Unethical
The Liar
The ditz
Can we call CNN fox news.......
They want to supress Obama in the news as much they can. Almost a year after the elections and Palin still in the news. I guess it is good to be wealthy in America...
Once again who cares about this quitter , and to actually think we have some people in this country would rather hire a quitter such as her , if you guys didn't know this , this woman quit the city coucil , then she quit as mayor , then she quit the energy commision in her state and then she quit as govenor.......pleeeease who would want this quitter in the most important office of the land . and some would thin that she's relevent ................NOT !!!!
She is Sean Hannity in drag.
And it took this long for some people to realize what a dimwit this woman is? The poll should have aalso asked what finally made them see her as for what she really is. A narcissitic bigot!
Not surprised. She incites extreme anger, her arguments are baseless, she spews her idiotic views backed by lies. Way past time for her to go away.
If we thought she was a "dip" then, what makes her think our opinion has changed now that she's resigned to become a free-speaking public figure???
NO PROBLEM with Palin...Problem is with the LEFT and the MEDIA...who can't understand how she got so Wise and so Strong and so Effective...at calling the shots RIGHT in a short period of time. She WILL be a FORCE in the next election..she ABSOLUTELY "relates" to the average American tax paying and voting citizen...of course NOT the Illegal Aliens since she doesn't sponsor the left's GIVE AWAY PROGRAMS.
Dont look behind you Dems/ Lefties...cause SARAH PALIN is right on your tail!!!
I am so sorry, after she quit her 'day' job too ....
Can we just all agree Sarah Palin is an ignorant idiot? Hopefully she will be old news someday, once CNN stops reporting on her every move as if anything she does or says matters a whit.
Can we assume for a second if Palin was a Black woman, Asian, hispanic, poor and not so pretty. Will she be in the news?
She stepped down as governor. Her political fortunes are wavering and her future is dimming. She gives birth to special needs children.
Sarah Palin's value to society is going way down.
Maybe she will have to face an Obama Death Panel and get the thumbs down. It was fun while it lasted, Sarah.
I'm glad to see the honeymoon is over. Her biggest problem, besides lack of experience, preparation, and having very little clue about how the country is governed, is she likes to get vicious when she seems fit and cry foul when someone does it to her. She's a quitter and can't handle the pressure of being in the spotlight. She wants to control the media on her terms, and can't handle it when she's attacked. That makes her weak and worthless as a world leader. I guess foreign governments would be 'nicer' to her? Hardly. The start is fading fast.
Why do we keep hearing about Palin through media outlets? She has her own kwitter account (sorry, I mean twitter), so she can just kwit directly (oops, dunno why that keeps happening) to anyone who actually wants to know what she's yammering about. Can't the media just let her go on about her kwittering (heh, there it goes again) and make more room for real news?
CNN should be ashamed for posting comments about Sarah Palin or anyone else that attack a person on a personal basis and use crude, ignorant and stupid epithets and language. You are conributing to the coarseness of the national debate in an insulting, demeaning and unprofessional manner. Also, try this one on for size, she is smarter than the whole bunch of you. She set a trap for you all in her resignation move and you all got caught in it. She is slick, shrewd and cagey and keeps you all focused on her, something Dan Quayle never did. She will ultimately have the last laugh, not you!
CNN is using a poll from August 3rd? Way to stay on top the news there.
Uh oh!! That doesn't bode well for her upcoming book. She'll have to do something dramatic if she wants that book to be a success. Then again, why should she care, she probably would have collected her money by then and the publisher takes the loss. Smart cookie, Ms. Palin is.
Her approval rating will be higher than Obummer's by years end!
What about "Gallup Poll" – President Obama is losing big time on his "Government takeover Healthcare". Where's yours Ticker on that!
She's a quitter. Even if she were to become President (please God help us), she'd probably quit that too if she was offered more money to star in a movie. All she wants to be is a star.
Increasingly freakier by the minute as the world twirls and twitters about. Her presence is unnecessary. Her twits are mostly scarey images and distorted facts with a air-head twist. The plastic and phony chrome are rapidly melting. Exsposing her true super freakiness.
Her comments are indefensible and is what I gathered from the trolls posting. Not one!
Sarah Palin is nothing more than a marketing device that companies invented to help spot potential buyers for products. They put her out there for a while under the guise of a political candidate, let her talk, and then determined who still likes her. And that core of people are then clearly identified as the kind of dullards you can sell magic beans and special rocks to. It's all about gathering demographical data to indentify your target audience.
Please forward the names of the 39% to Cheney and Roves' jury selection consultant. They have to be in a world all their own.
CNN, are you replacing polls with legitimate reporting. As much as I can't stand this woman, I don't care right now. ALL OF YOUR ENERGY, should be focused on healthcare. THE END. CNN, have you checked your approval ratings?
We've got to do SOMETHING to deflect the focus OFF Obama's nose-dive in popularity! Isn't it funny people say things like this and yet he is still over 50% (except for Rasmussen of course). Last time I checked 50% is still a majority. Man, you guys are afraid of Obama. Dang, I couldn't let someone keep me up like that.
Does anyone else find it interesting that the left-wing media still feels the need to write negative stories about Sarah Palin? Seems to me that this is because she poses a legitimate threat to their liberal ideals.
Palin just needs to disappear and become one less Republican to damage the party. She's been nothing but a catastrophe for the few good Republicans left out there in what's left of our party. Even though I'm Republican, I'll still continue to vote for Democrats and others so long as these chuckleheads still hold the reigns.
Gee Whiz!!! Why am I not surprised?
Sarah Palin is a joke....Obviously she doesn't want to have any serious debates, just rabble rousing talking points....Pretty sad considering she is one of the "so-called" leaders of the Republican Party. The Republican Party is a complete joke!!!!!!
Worse news for Obama's poll numbers, as he will never get elected again.
I cannot wait for her book either...I need a good doorstop.
Why does CNN keep track of this woman? She became politically extinct the moment she opened her mouth at the Republican National Convention. Anyone with two firing synapses can see she's proven herself to be very adept at talking out of both sides of her mouth. And even then she has nothing of value or consequence to say! And this is coming from a guy living in a RED STATE!!
C'mon CNN... drop your coverage of this moronic hack like she were a hot rock!
Why is CNN continually focused on these weekly Popularity Contest Polls? The reporting has almost become a political version of Entertainment Tonight. Palin's popularity is down, Obama's popularity is down. Who cares?
Poll the American public on issues that matter such as health care, spending, Afghanistan, economic recovery plans, etc. and stop wasting time on whether or not the cool kids in the lunch room still like Sarah or Barry.
Will this kill her chances for getting on "So You Think You Can Dance"?
CNN Poll. Pro Obama Poll. Cant afford the other side to have anyone popular. CNN Poll...... Says nothing..
Why all the attention when she has nothing worthwhile to offer?
39 percent of people still approve of this hack?
It's unclear if the drop in Palin's rating is due to her resignation as Alaska governor, a year and a half before her first term ends, or if anything else she has done is contributing to the dip in her numbers
Anything else she has done.......HOW ABOUT EVERYTHING SHE HAS DONE, SAID, DEATH SQUADS ETC ETC ETC...........This woman is as dumb as a post. She says "Keep my family out of it" unless of course I bring them into the conversation to suit me............
How can this many people still think she has ANYTHING to offer........
CNN it is ASSUMED that you delight in TRASHING Sarah Palin since you ONLY print about 2-3 positive ebay comments to 100's of negative moron type comments degrading the woman who speaks the truth for the average ( non Leftist ) American. WHO's POLL numbers are dropping? Last time I looked Mr. O's are "Taking a Steep Dive!"
Sarah Palin's popularity has always completely befuddled me. She doesn't appear to be very intelligent; she appeals to people's basest instincts, stirring up fear and racism every time she spreads her lies; and now she has abandoned her oath as governor. She maligns the press while she continues to force herself in our faces with her ridiculous claims. I worry for our society and what will be left for my daughter. All civility has disappeared, as most recently evidenced by these town meetings that are being held re health care. People just shout out their feelings, usually based on misinformation, with no regard to anyone else. Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh and their cohorts have done more to damage this nation than anyone could have ever predicted.
she really shows that she is lacking in the brains dept. everytime she opens her mouth it sounds like a comedy skit.
First of all it is amazing that she has any supporters at all! After thinking that over some I began to realize it takes all kinds to make the world go around.Obviously there are many weak minded easily duped supporters to balance out the chart.With that thought coming to mind it is very scary to think there are actually poeple in this country so easily lead.Now I understand how these terrorists groups are able to recruit supporters!
Knowing the weak mentality of her supporters helps me understand how she gets the attention she does.
With that said I believe the media needs to do an evaluation of the wasred attention they give her?Move on to important issues that our people of america are struggling with today!
Her "death panel" rant the other day did her no favors. Even those that supported her are staring to realize who she really is after that debacle.
INTERESTING to note that, for as much as she blame the media for everything, THEY are the one thing keeping her alive on the public stage. Does she and her mindless followers even realize this?
The left does not like her.....Um....the right isn't overly fond of her either. The sad part is they've got nothing better to offer or rest their hopes on. They should try selling t-shirts: "I went to the GOP and all I got was this lousy candidate".
She's just a greedy dimwit.
It never ceases to amaze me, with all the well-educated, worldly, thoughtful conservative women in the Republican Party, why the party would spend any time on this ditz. She has done nothing but spread hate, divisivness, lies, and distortions, all while abusing her own power as Governor of Alaska. If she weren't cute and photogenic no one would be paying any attention to her. Is this what the Republican Party has come down to? I forsee very, very dark times for this party if they don't get their act together soon. Most Americans find them and their hand-puppet, Sarah Palin, disgusting.
Sarah is the biggest political joke that I have ever witnessed
AND YES SHE IS THE DEVIL!
Being a quitter certainly doesn't help, but every time the dimwit opens her mouth it reinforces the fact that she doesn't have the intellectual capacity or the political saavy to be a national leader.
Dang! I was hoping she would be on the Republican ticket for President in 2012. I think she's the best they've got!
She's a QUITTER plan and simple.....
Wow ,it's amazing that this country is called the United States(OXYMORON). As a black-canadian, i'm often amazed how you Americans often vilify, degrade and just plain hate each other...Left and Right. How do you expect the rest of the world to respect you when you don't have respect for each other. I thought the civil war was over.
This is the poll you need to worry about:
NJ Poll: Obama Loses 19 Points With Independents
How come it took a really short time to find out Sarah Palin is a fraud but Bush was able to get two terms? Did everyone grow a brain?
CNN whats with the Sarah Palin fixation ? shes and idiot and so are you for keeping her in the limelight. Shes dangerous to the country and to her own insanity
She's a loon. And who really believe that any political party or group of people are 'afraid' of her? Please. The only thing I would be afraid of is if she actually would have become president if McCain got in and then he couldn't make it thru his full term. Can you imagine her sitting across from Putin, and telling him how she saw him every day from her front porch?!?
And why would I believe anything CNN puts out???
Sheis inexperienced in the political process and cound not stand the heat, so she resigned, just as she would have if she became president if something unfortunate happening to President McCain
Pity poor Sarah Palin. That tiny little brain all alone in that great big head!
I would take Palin anyday over the anti-American socialist in power. The woman rose to power fighting corruption, whereas BO rose up because of corruption. The chicago machine is directly responsible for BO's presidency and now all of us are paying the price for it.
Golly gee, gosh darn it, they're obviously not talking to the right people...love the Quayle reference, since we've seen this all before. The more she sticks around the better it gets for the Dems. Keep talking, honey!
Maybe it's because she says things like "Obama has Death Panels in the Health Reform Bill" and then two days later she says that there needs to be civility in the Health Reform debate.
I feel sorry for her kids. Yeah, I said it. If she is going to use them as props, then she can just shut the hell up.
Hey Sarah, what ever happened to people just "Makin' things up"? Bozo. Do us all a favor and get some exploding shoes, you clown!
Interesting, for so many people not liking her the attention toward her is simply amazing. She's out of the spot light, and still garnishing attention and interest, bo figure. I guess that shows that the liberal bashers are really scared of her. Way to go Sarah Palin, you don't even have to be in the spot light to get attention, look at Obama, he has to go on the road to try to get some attention.
Did you expect a CNN pole to have Palin at 48. Come on people get real.
She'll just parade her clan of kids out into the national spotlight at all the right times and sweep those nasty polls right under the carpet in this America that she loves so much....you betcha!
GAWD! It took a while for Americans to get their collective heads out of the sand!
I am not interest in Sarah Palin's views on healthcare, nor on views of President Obama's birth certificate, on heterosexual marriage, on same sex marriage, on the environment, on taxes, on the "East/West Coast elite", on the military, on the Iraq or Afghanistan Wars. I am not interested in her views on prolife or pro-gun. Sarah Palin should no longer be in the news. The fact that CNN and other major news organizations continue to excessively report on her is an insult to me, America and the rest of the world. I will never in all my life forgive Senator McCain for introducing this small-minded and wholly provincial woman to the National Stage. Stop! Please, for the love of humanity, CNN, stop reporting on her. She and her family represent everything that is wrong with America. In five years, maybe ten, for nostalgia sake update us with a report on her views….her views of Russia from her Alaskan Governor's retirement home.
how come SHE is not wearing a flag??? Everyone was all over Obama when he didn't wear one. Some dumb woman who can "see Russia from her house." I cannot believe sarah even have followers.
Sarah Palin is a private citizen who is still being attacked by the media daily , Why would that be ? I can only think of two famous quotes for you all you Palin bashers to think about ,Please read them.
"If you are young and not a liberal, you have no heart. If you are old and not a conservative, you have no brain."
–Winston Churchill
"The difference between a liberal and a conservative is 20 years."
–Mark Twain
She is so foolish. All she had to do was finish her term as governor, quietly add to her knowledge, and get and listen to some decent advisers. The Republican base was ready to follow her anywhere. Now, I am happy to say, she may be finished. Well there is always the conservative media. Russ look out; you may have some competition. She has proven that she can lie with the best of them.
What a surprise. This woman is an idiot and a fraud and is a danger to the country.
Why don't we send her to MARS with a Life Long Supply of Food in NASA's space shuttle ?
Could we please have a week without "news" coverage of this woman? She is a private citizen now; albeit an ignorant one. Every time you report on her, you give her a pulpit she does not deserve. Give it a rest. Her entertainment value is worn out.
Who cares?
Sara Palin brings negative to herself not the left or the media you fools on her defending her. She is a very negative person and the media call her out on it.
Why is it America is gone when a Democrat becomes President but when a Republican is President America is the greates country on earth oh i am so sick of the Far right extreme and new report shows FAR RIGHT EXTREMISM IS ON THE RISE VIOLENCE WILL BE UP TIMOTHY MCVEIGH ANYONE?
Thank you for proving my point.
NO NO NO! We want Palin in 2012. It will be fun to watch Obama make her look like the twit she really is and thus serve the death blow to the Neocons and the other nut jobs on the extreme right. Then the real non-fringe conservatives can get a bigger voice in the GOP and we can finally have some civility in the political dialogue.
I can't imagine why her approval rating has dropped. Let's see – she's as dumb as a post, completely self-righteous, hypocritical to the core, and as opportunistic as they come. On top of that, she's a quitter. Did I miss something?
What is funny is that she get the left wing nut jobs so fired up. What is it she offers that scares the libs so much?
The story should be that 4 out of 10 Americans have a favorable opinion of her. I find that more incredible than anything else. Sara palin is not the one we should be wondering about. We should be wondering about the morons who think this woman actually has something to say. They're the scary ones.
Palin is an idiot and trying hide behind a mask of intelligents. Give me a break, she will make millions on her book, be set for life, and seek attention anyway she can. Sounds like Ann Kolter's sister.
Another reason why media outlets, like you CNN, should not be covering this delirious '"wanna-be'" politician. She speaks without thinking. Even when she does think, it only makes her rhetoric more illogical and ridiculous. She is, ultimately, the epitome of stupidity.
Closely correlated to the Lunatic Fringe driving GOP support down.
why do people go to the town hall meetings and scream and disrupt them -because they "believe in free speech", yet seem upset that those who do not like Sarah are expressing their opinions here? Are the republicans the only ones entitled to free speech?
A few years ago those who opposed the war were being told – very loudly – that they were unAmerican because they opposed the war. No one talked about taking to the streets or having to "get rid of" Bush as people talk now about Obama. Why now is it acceptable that republicans demand "their" rights after denying everyone else's for so long? Be civil. Your rights will be respected to the extent that you respect the rights of others. If that doesn't work for you just stop complaining and start working to make this a better place.
I just watched,"the Right Feeling Wronged "again,to see the people who back her till this day and feel so sad that there are that many people in Country that still believe the lies and love to hate.
She offers nothing to society. Obvious Death Panel nominee!
She might be out the spotlight, but her lies still can hurt this country and this is why she is still being cover to be depuked. This woman is to dangerouse to not to depuked her lies.
How about this poll that is out today:
Rasmussen on Obama: 52% disapprove
haha...she's just a citizen...(unlike obama)..by the way, how's his popularity going? In the toilet, huh? well, libs, you voted for "Change!"
It's funny, all you libs preach is about hate, racism, and the like whenever anyone disagrees with your biased, slanted opinions....yet, NONE of you can defend ANY of the actions Obama has taken ..in that it was good for the country NONE OF YOU!!!!!...you all are just a bunch of loony left fringe, nonworking, whiny crybabies...that, without a government handout, you'd starve to death...tell you what, shut up, hop in the the new car I just bought you, and drive home to the house I just refinanced for you because like all libs, you're too irresponsible to make your own way, so you need some liberal hack to hold your hand! Aren't you proud of yourselves?
The polls are the way they are because there are more evil people than good ones. Just read your posts. You have nothing good to say about someone who is just another citizen who wants to do the right thing for the country. And yet, you think Obama is trying to make things good for you. Well, think again. You will soon know who is for and against God. God loves Palin and if you don't feel the same way, then you belong to another group. You people talk as if you know better than Palin. She is a smart woman and being ordinary is really what this country needs. Too much politics in the White house make people greedy of power because they don't see themselves "ordinary" anymore. They think they are more than just ciitizens and above the law. Corruption must end.
Palin is more capable in getting this done.
FINALLY! Now if we could just get CNN and other media outlets to STOP giving her press she might go away for good. She's an idiot and anyone who supports her is a fool.
Wow, what is this obsession CNN has over her. With a dem president and a dem congress, why is all your reporting on republicans? She's not even in office anymore. What has she done to you guys to make you so threatened? She's doing something right.
Palin is a disgusting fear mongering Republican. All she does is lie to the ignorant, and they believe her. She is and always will be a joke.
Funny how CNN seldom lists Obama's falling poll numbers as one of its top stories. My bad, I forgot CNN is on the payroll.
I find one thing really interesting. Sarah can start the crap on the death panels under health reform A FUD lie. What about her statements that all gays should have mandated sexual reassingment surgery to make them heterosexual? I heard nothing from the media on that one. She is sick and a hate monger GOOD BYE ALREADY I she wants top live in a theocracy (no not a continent ) she should really move to Iran. God help them!
I am amused by those who say they would still vote for her. When she decides to quit again, what will your vote have been worth?

What makes anyone think she is running for anything who cares what the polls say.
Sarah Palin may have been good for the republicans but she is horrific for the US! Hope the polls keep falling.
I sure hope she can still win the GOP nomination in 2012 so Obama can thrash her in the general election.
Here's my vote: she's a malevolent nutjob who will go down in history for wrecking McCain's campaign. Not knowing her personally, I hesitate to characterize her as 'evil,' but I have no qualms about calling her malevolent. "Nutjob" is a given for anyone who walks out on a governorship.
The only thing she has going for her is NOTHING wish she would just shut up and quit making remarks that she thinks will endear her to people such as " I am a hockey Mom" – who cares, never liked her and I feel she is somewhat of a moron.
I think the President's poll numbers have fallen a lot faster than Sara Palin's. Why is it that CNN's polls always have the president rated higher than any other poll? I wonder??? Probably the same reason CNN's ratings are dropping.........
If she wasn't hot, no one would ever have listened to her idiotic mangling of the English language in the first place. Since she can't talk, I still have no idea what she stands for.
She is cashing in on all this dissention. I doubt she will ever run again but she will be finacially well off from books, speaking events and consulting. She is not going to be missing any meals over people disliking her.
What is amazing is the 39% who approve of her. 39%!!!!! Bill Maher was right. Americans are stupid! At least 39% of them anyways.
Guess what ..... Pelosi's numbers are lower and she is actually IN the government. Nice try at the disraction though.
Regarding the PALIN POll
I assumeit was a liberl one I nror anyone I know have ever been polled .
Why are the Libs so scared pf Sarah??
the scare tatics continue even now she sure mace an impression thos eof us who now know obama was theWRONG Choice and our onlty Hope is he 'll be gone in 2012!
reading these Air Head Liberal clueless know it all calling her DUMB t when they would have a hard time getting to 3 digits in an IQ test.!
I never saw such hatred that'sthe Democrats way huh?
Use every rotten trick and word they can to slander anyone with an opposing view.
Well Like thte National Healthcare crap we will speak out.
Had McCain & Palin won beleive me we'd not be in this MESS
Her poll numbers are down because she continues to say stupid things–never factual. Many, many Alaskans are glad she is not our governor. I wish the press would STOP highlighting her every move.
Like I said, step back from her and let her yap her head off. She will undo herself everytime.
What finished her this time was the ludicrous claim of "death panels" in the health care plan, which, of course, isn't in there, which clued everybody into the fact that Palin never read it!
Sarah, NOW your 15 minutes are up!!!
I love the "leave her alone" hypocrisy. She invites attention to herself. The last thing she wants is to be ignored. But when the reaction is unfavorable......"wah, wah, wah,, the media hates me."
Will you PLEASE stop covering this nincompoop?
We *really* don't care.
Just give us a break and let her fade into the oblivion that she so richly deserves.
I wonder if John McCain will ever admit what everyone else knows.
where is the article showing that Obama's approval rates are now below 50%? How about some balance, CNN? Why haven't you reported on that story?
Pallin' around with terrorists!!!
Death panels!!!
Hey, town hall folks, Sarah sez you need to calm down now – don't know how you got so riled up – you betcha!
OK – well, at least more and more of the smart people of this country are coming to their senses!! I was about to lose hope.
Well, ifyou take the 26% of clueless morons who actually thought Bush was doing a good job at the end of his term and add in another handful of people who think she's "hot" "sassy" or "cute" you have 38% of the shallowest humans possible.
Sink!! Sank!! Sunk!!! That's Sara Palin!!
I don't understand! She stupid, imcompetent, and an airhead. Qualifications to be nominee for president for the Republican Party!
I heard someone say the other night (Bill Maher, maybe?), "If she looked like Golda Meir would we still be talking about her?"
Please just stop writing anything about Sarah Palin. The more that is written, the more she succeeds. Ignore her until she matters, if ever, and then report on her activities. I strongly endorse a "Palin Free Zone" until there is a real reason to report on her.
Bald Tim thank you for saying exactly what I think. I am a young constitutional republican, arrived at that conclusion my self and the only thing I want is to see the neo cons out of my house and senate to have real politics and real decision making in the government. Versus spending abhorrent amounts of time on useless social issues that do nothing for the tax payer but disillusion them to the government they support.
PALIN is trying to stay in the NEWS because she has a book to SELL! She will make money and the publisher will lose money because we already know much more than we want!
There are no secrets left to discover with this looney!!
Let's see.........Palin is an idiot, ok what is Obama??? Oh, I remember.....he is a LIAR! I would much rather have a person with INTEGRITY than one with popularity! But, of course that is what scares the hell out of the Left is that Palin walks the walk, lives with integrity.
Oh I forgot.....you left Liberals are not familiar with that word, it means they are honest, believe that God is real and respects all life.
Never could stand her. I had hoped that she'd at least represent women in a positive way, even though I'm a Democrat, but I have a lot more respect for other Republican women in office. She only appeals to the lowest and most desperate of American voters. And, by the way, CNN is in fact reporting on many other issues. Why criticize them for reporting on this, no one made you read it.
I can't believe that anyone in this country would still want Palin to be President, or hold any public office for that matter. She is an embarassment to American politics, and that says a lot.
I hope now that Sarah's at liberty, she'll visit the Thousand Islands and spend a year on each one.
Who cares about Sarah Palin? Is this really news? If you really want to report about someone's ratings tanking, they need to be reporting the decline of Obama. Of course CNN will never report anything adverse about their Messiah.
Don't listen to them, Sarah.
The GOP needs you, America needs you, and most of all Democrats are counting on you to finish sinking conservatism.
Don't let us down – a nutcaselike you is a one-in-a-million find.
