CNN

Palin is a breath of fresh air. Read this board and see all the hatred for her for the left wing media "jokes" about her. It's about being jelous of a very attractive and intelligen woman who is successful and NOT A LEFT WING DEM.
You brainwashed attack dogs are embarassing.

I would rather have a squirrel from my yard, sitting in the Oval Office, than the 'amazingly unqualified' snob who is sitting in the chief's chair.

This man is the Commander in Chief of the greatest army in the world?

Now he has the genius idea of paying the Taliban to give up their beliefs? There will never be a more irresponsible President than your President. I had to concede that he is not my President anymore.

Paying the Taliban with my tax dollars, that is the last straw with me.

Palin is hard working, intelligent, pretty, just not very good at public speaking. Barak Obama is the best SPEAKER, gotta love that skill,
and he is going... going... going.. and still speaking, what a fella.

I can't believe anyone would consider her not qualified and yet voted for Obama. She at least was a governer as opposed to a community organizer. It really doesn't matter, it's going to Bush's fault for the next 3 years until Obama is voted out of office. The only hope we have is that the Demo's can't get anything done even though they control all branches of government.

To paraphrase an old headline, "How Can 52% of Republicans Be So Stupid?". So Palin is qualified to be President?!? Last I heard, she abandoned her post as Governor so she could further her career, as opposed to staying put in order to further the interests of Alaskans! And if people will remember, in delivering her "Adios" speech, she looked and sounded like she was barely holding it together. The GOP and it's army of fear-mongerers and liars and propagandists have driven rank-and-file Republicans mad!

Also decide by same poll: water is wet, ice is cold, sugar is sweet, etc.

Sarah Palin is preparing herself to quit the GOP for the conversative group. This is not news – everyone but silly Sarah knows she shouldn't be no where near politiics... Truly a pagent is her niche!

Almost 3 in 10 think she IS QUALIFIED to be President?!?!?!??!

I think THAT is the interesting statistic – Wonder what they think qualifies her... Grasp of the issues? Stick toitiveness? Ability to work with others? ANYTHING?

Well,

that means that about 29% of americans are completely brainless!!!!!!! which is not good news.

Was it really necessary to do a poll for this? I mean really, the moment she opened her mouth the world knew she was not qualified for anything.

Palin is less qualified than the other GOP contenders who do not necessarily inspire confidence in the electorate. At least we know who will buy her book, the gullible 29 percent.

When John McCain shows her as his running mate he gave Democrats a gift that keeps on giving. Every time she says something stupid she makes all the Republicans that support her look stupid.

I say "Go for it, girl!" By 2012, the country will be in a great shape again. We will have fixed most of the stuff the Bush admin had botched and if we can get a quitter, blunderer, like Sarah up there to run against, so much the better. I hope she runs and gets chosen as the nominee. That means Obama and Democrats in power until at least 2016! Too cool.

if this woman is qualified to be president then Joe the Plumber is fit to be Secretary of State. Republicans are scrapping the bottom of the barrel for 2012 hopefuls.

How many times do you have to run a poll with essentailly the same results. S/P makes a great cheerleader but a lousy high school class president..

She's so underqualified it makes my back teeth hurt....

And this is uh.....surprising?

Palin obviously isn't a "typical politician". In fact, she's not a politician at all. She's a former sportscaster for a local TV station who parlayed her looks and charm into a mayoral election, and then stepped into a state-wide election where the other candidates were very unpopular. This is a person whose personal ambition far exceeds her intellectual capacity, no to mention her grim academic credentials. She was stupid during the campaign that she referred to herself as the first female candidate for Vice President, erasing Geraldine Ferraro from the history books, which she had obviously never opened. The people who "like" Palin reflect their own limited understanding of the complexities of government on a national level and, as with George W. Bush's supporters, are more interested in a leader who they'd like to go huntin' with than one who has the ability to understand complicated policy issues and the articulateness to express them in a coherent way to the public. Palin represents an outrageous low point in the thinking (or non-thinking) of many voters. Finally, she doesn't warrant any of this ink, including my own.

I want her to run. She is the greatest leader of our time. Thank you Gov Palin for giving us hope again. Thanks a lot

Did anyone else cry when they read this article? How dumb is America? I can't believe that 29% of our population thinks Sarah Palin is qualified to be President. Wow.

This article is hilarious saying Gov. Palin is inexperienced!! It's funny though how a "Freshman Senator" somehow is qualified to be President!! He should be in a office in the basement right now learning skills to become a good Senator!! As CNN and everyone said during the campaign " it's not time for on the job training" well everyone was right, so I say who cares if Pailn has the experience or not the road has already been paved for her.

Oh come on people,
sure she is ...she and rush.. and beck.. speak for the gop these days.... don't we want nalin palin, beck the nazi wannabe and pill popping rush running the show?? sure we do........

Who are the 3 in 10 who think she IS? Those are the dangerous ones.

I am not a fan of Sara Palin, I did not vote for John McCain, but the lack of qualifications for the office of the president applies to Obama. He is naive, lacks military or international experience, and fancies himself some sort of savior. Talk about qualifications. He is a community organizer (whatever that is) and barely served in the Senate. I did not vote for Obama either. Enough turkeys exist in elected office in DC.

Let's put this in proper perspective.
Bad news for CNN: They poll last in cable news.
Badder news for major newspapers (except WSJ): All are plummeting in popularity.
Baddest news for the Democratic Congress: Less than 20% of Americans think they are competent. Specifically, the leadership Pelosi, Reid and Frank are polled as being even less competent...

CNN...there is nothing wrong with hoping she will go away. But she wont. She will continue to be viewed as the exact opposite of the Obama administration, which will endear her greatly over the next few years, at least.

I would never vote for Sarah Palin for anything.

She is way too right-wing extremist in domestic and foreign policy, as well as regards religious views.

wel that sums it up 30 % of the country is still not very smart

The other 3 out of 10 scare me.

Wow...what a shocker...people are actually coming to their senses!!!

If she is so unable to win, then why do you on cnn keep running negative articles about her? you have so-called poll numbers to back up your arguements. Im a conservative, which means i use my brain, so i see liberal fear of her instead. Everytime an issue or anything goes against liberals, they pull a poll out of there ass to say different.

Bout the only thing Sarah is qualified for is fooling people into believing she knows anything. She is a quitter and a liar and should be tarred and feathered for her "accomplishments". Yep You betcha

Why are they still pushing this Woman. She has a narrow world view, limited credentials, and she is a quitter and opportunist. She was governor of a state that was heavily subsidized by the taxpayers becasue of all the Oil and Natural Gas in her state. And for someone who rails against the "socialist" Obama it is ironic that her state engages in wealth redistirution- ( the 2000 given to each taxpayer annually for energy profits) along with US government welfare in the form of energy subsidies.

She touts accomplishments that are shallow and she preaches a religous agenda that is extreme and dangerous. Funny how she is against Big government yet her state is one of the benficiaries of "big Government.

she is a empty suit who I feel has nothing to offer our country but Divisiveness and slogans. Didnt we have enough of that for the last 8 years.

She's a celebrity who pals around with terrorists. She doesn't have enough brains to power a 60 watt light bulb...

I dare you Republicans to make her your candidate for President next time around... she's a dumb at Dubya... she might just win!!

And the suprise is?

Only 7 in 10? What is wrong with the other 3?

Sarah Palin is just a political gold digger. She is out for the self serving glory of being well known. She could care less about people and going to the white house. She is a "hey look at me, look at me" person. Fortunately the majority of the people see her for what she really is and would never elect her for higher office. If she ran for governor of Alaska today she would lose. Please continue to fade away.

9 in 10 say BIDEN not qualified to be president. That guy is WAY WORSE than Palin.

Wait a minute no long ago republicas said she was the one to run for president. Now they are split on it. Finally they have open their eyes and see what she really is just a nice picture.

Palin cares about Palin – end of story.

I think this assesment is quite accurate. She does care about the average American and she is a good role model. But to be president it take more than that and she does not have the political credential nor does she posses the knowledge to lead this country. I wish she would select some causes and work to rectify them rather than spend her time trying to posture herself for a run at the White House. Just because she is a republican with a likable personality does not mean she should be president.

Not qualified? Holy cow, of course she's not qualified! She quit her freaking governorship just two years into it!!!

I'm a dedicated conservative, but there is exactly zero chance I would vote for her. Of course, I'm so conservative that I could vote Republican in the last presidential election. The McCain/Palin ticket was a disaster for conservatives.

Those are the exact same results for Obama as President.

Where are those 4 million new jobs?

Looks like she has less appeal than bush at his worst. Also shows 3 in ten are morons. As 4 huck and rommney just look at what they did 4 their states destruction to no end they remind me of pres mugabe. If they ever see the light of the white house then third world here we come. Personally i would preffer jeb bush to any of those three zombies

Polls don't mean anything unless they reinforce my conservative beliefs. They must of polled narcisstic elitest obamabots and Oprah watching union thugs. Sarah Palen is way smarter than Obama. She went to 3 different colleges and he only went to one!!! I only pray that one day she will run for president and my grandbabies will live in a country that reflects the values of real Americans: Tax cuts for the rich, Oil rigs on every open patch of ground and teaching about the bible in our schools instead of that science junk. How can a child be prepared for the real world if they don't even know how it was really created and think that we come from monkeys? Have a nice day!

Neither was our Community-Activist-in-Chief that is now in power qualified to be President, and it certainly shows. I would hope that by 2012, people will be more discerning in their choice of the country's leader. That is if anything in and of our country is recognizable by then.

CNN...... WHY all the Palin stories then? With SEVEN in 10 Americans saying this lady is not ..... qualified...... to be president WHY have so many stories about her?!

There are SO many urgent and crucial issues for Americans to discuss on CNN blogs.

Please do us all a favor and stop pandering to the far-right, they are already fans of ....... Faux News.

And I now think that Obama was never qualified to be president. Unemployment hovering around 10% (after a failed stimulus package that he's saving to buy votes just prior to the 2010 mid-term elections), $1.4 B in debt....

I wish we had voted Romney or Thompson in there.

She can't be any "less qualified" than the current President! I hope everyone got the "hope and change" they were looking for.......

Sarah... please... just go away... please.... PLEASE!!!!

Obama has clearly proven himself not qualified for the job either. Of course.., CNN's progressively liberal poll director already knows that too.

she never was qualified or in the future.

Oh please, Obama proved if he could become President anyone could become President..... and at this point President Obama has proved Palin, among others, certainly could do a BETTER job at being President of the United States than Obama.

Another thing, why waste time reporting on this klutz? What a waste of resources.

Caring? Honest? Trustworthy? No way!

Quote: "CNN Poll: 7 in 10 say Palin not qualified to be president".

Ha, ha! Palin isn't qualified to be a human. Humans have a brain that works.

And Odumbo the civic organizer was??????? Opps, I mean the junior senator that was never there was. Come on CNN of course the Dems that you poll are going to say that, they are scared to death of her. Right is after all RIGHT.

It's not about her being qualified for president (we alraedy have an unqualified one now)...it is about her exposing the hypocirisy and hatred on the Left which her 'shoot'the-messenger' detractors do on a daily basis...she has helped shift the middle back to the right...

Probably instead of saying she's not qualified, just stop at saying "she's not intelligent enough" because that's the bottom line. She's really not even intelligent enough to hold any position that gives her any influence over other living things.

This really does not surprise me, all I can think about when it comes to her and international relations is when she went to I believe to Pakistan and the President there basically said that Palin is a very beautiful woman. As far as the world stage is concerned we would be a laughing stock, we are a very superficial society here in the US. That's not a bad thing but when we constantly elect a President who is not ugly rather than if they are qualified we will always run into issues. Would you think Bill Richardson honestly had a chance to win the Presidency?

About those 3 in 10 who think she's qualified... Does anyone with an IQ over 80 believe those folks can walk and chew gum simultaneously?

Ya think!!!!....stupid people.

Jeez...you mean 30% of this country thinks she's qualified? Pretty sad.

With all the liberal media lambasting Sara, it is no wonder that those who have heard of her put her in a negative light. I am a conservative and I do not care what the republicans think. The republicans have left the building a long time ago.

Is CNN ratings still at the bottom? Maybe Obama has a job for some of you.

She is an insipid, uninformed, albeit ambitious twit. Alaskans did not think much of her as governer and felt no regret when she quit. It is sad and frightening how low some people's standards for being president can be.

I think she represents the ultra conservatism idealogy very well, and I wish her success. Of course, I am also a Democrat.

To be the president of the US, even amidst all the cisis this country has gone thru, the rest of the world looks up to, one needs a broader view other than 'my way or the high way' that Palin has. She is very charming, I'll give you that, b/c while I can't stand the thought of her being the president, somehow I am always drawn to stories/tickers about her. But me voting for her is entirely different and I can't imagine that day. The good old 'pro' arguments – she is the governor of a state etc, etc...don't fly anymore when she didn't even finish that term. All she has done is to make a quick buck with her 15 minutes of fame and that in itself doesn't qualify her to be the president.

Amazing how her numbers are as high as 30 percent. Here is a woman who couldn't comprehend that foreign policy is more than looking out her back window. The very fact that she couldn't discuss foreign policy without sounding like a "valley girl", and now after ONE year she is ready for the oval office? Who are these thirty people out of one hundred or for that matter EVERY hundred who thinks she is capabable of over seeing our nuclear arsinal and military. capable of setting policy on the big picture.

You do realize that just 7 years ago she was the mayor of a TOWN with the city's population was 5,469 at the 2000 census!!!

I have a question regarding the sample. Of the 1,038 individuals contacted, how many were republicans, how many were democrats and how many were independents? Also, how many were women and what was the racial composition of your sample? Thank you.

If Republican supporters really think Palin stands a chance against Obama, they need a reality check. If they want to have a hope in heck of getting the White House back in 2012, they need to be focusing on Romney or Huckabee, or if they want a female candidate there are plenty of more qualified possibilities that they should be focusing on grooming for 2012. Palin lost her qualifications for president when she abandoned Alaskan voters after only two years.

She is qualified, however, to be a demagogue on Fox TV or have her own AM radio show where the wingnut faithful can get their fix of narrow minded opinions. Anything for money Sarah, your brand of "Americanism" is very clear..

Of course Palin isn't qualified, that much is obvious. She'd be an utter disaster as president. And that's the only reason she keeps attracting so much attention. People look at her for the same reason they rubberneck when going by an accident – something so horrifying is also strangely fascinating. But thinking this attention would somehow make her a good candidate is like saying causing an accident would qualify someone as a driving instructor. Some moderate Republicans seem to be figuring that out. But I'm sure there are some that will never get it.

She cares so much about people that when she was governor of Alaska, rape victims had to pay for their own rape kits. That's caring? She's a liar and a quitter, who only cares about being in the limelight.

I'm afraid for the future of this country if almost 30% of people polled still believe she would make a good President. She might make a good dog catcher, or perhaps a sewer worker, but President,? I don't think so.

We need a new filing clerk at our firm. I bet she could ALMOST manage that. Still, polls are quite stupid. I liken this one to polling Americans to find out if water is wet...I'm pretty sure 3 in 10 would still be stupid enough to say "no."

anyone who would vote for this white trash is crazy. i am a proud republican and i want her out of our party.

Here's the problem with these polls: 6 in 10 people said Obama WAS qualified to be president. He's doing his best to prove them wrong. I just wish he would have taken an extra long pause to come up with a better strategy for Wall Street, GM & Chrysler, the "Stimulus" spending bill...

In ordinary life this lackluster promo queen would be given no credence whatsoever. Her creation is media driven, her continued appearance is foolish at best, and her presence is an insult to thinking and talented women everywhere.

She has more experience than our current president.

She is an idiot. She in no way should be considered for the office of President. Dumb, Dumb and worse.

Well, first she can't be trusted to finish a job she began, Alaska Governor, and now she starts campaigning against her own party. Nope, Sarah can't be trusted with anything.

Who cares about Palin, shouldn't be concerned with Obama's poll numbers?

This is the best news I've heard in ages. I'm not sure about those who think she is a good role model, but at least more than 7 in 10 people realize that she's not presidential material. Unconventional may not be all bad, but continual surprises and a record of quitting are not good presidential qualities. "I didn't mean to say that" doesn't work anywhere in foreign relations, and she sure has a penchant for putting her foot in her mouth. I just wish it would stay there. Perhaps someone should send her a case of superglue.

finally a poll we can sink our teeth in...and as time progresses it will 8, 9, 10 out of 10!

Qualifications don't matter...as was so clearly demonstrated by the latest presidential election.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Sarah Palin for President?
Does anyone questions the fact that she couldn't manage to finish out her term as Governor?
If she can't take the stress of being Governor of Alaska, then what makes anyone with a brain cell working think she can handle being President.

7 out of 10 only? I guess the three that do think she has any qualification need to get more than a 5th grade education. God I would have to move to Canada if this dummy actually won. Didn't we already have a Republican disaster/idiot in office before Obama? All of the problems today from the economy, deficit, wars, etc. are caused by that loser who never won the election in the first place. Do we really want another puppet idiot in the office to totally destroy this beautiful country?

This is news? Well, I guess it is. I thought the number was closer to 10 out of 10 people think she's unqualified. Anyway she's not going to get the nomination, I could have told you that.

I wish Sarah would just GO AWAY!

She can't be any worse than the clowns in the White house right now.

Palin had better enjoy her book earnings and stay out of politics. She is going to get her nose snipped off again if she tries to run for national office,

Sarah Palin was thoroughly trashed by the MSM however in time we'll find she'll make a fine President. Much more so than the current Ditherer In Chief.

Sarah Palin is not qualified to run the Merry Go Round at an Amusement Park...what on God's earth would make people think she's qualified to be our President? Seriously, what has she done in her career that makes her so unique and special...besides the fact that she is a GOP puppet? The woman cannot string an intelligent sentence together...what makes her or anyone think she has the brains to be the top dog? After the disgusting comments she made about Obama on the campaign trail which were outright lies...what would make anyone think we could trust this woman? She is as crazy as they come!

LOL. Only now CNN is getting the message? U guys have been trying to keep her in the news beyond her 15 minutes despite we the people keep telling you we don't care. The joke is on CNN. LOL

What's scary here is that 30% think this boob is qualified. She can't even run a household.

It's very surprising that the fact that she QUIT her job as governor is not brought up in this poll. More surprising is there are actually 29% who think that she IS qualified to be president. Who are these 29% anyway? Oh, that's right – they're the "Real Americans" she refers to...

what a shocker.

And why does CNN and all other liberal media continuously keep doing polls?

(Former) Governor Palin is probably highly-qualified, should there be a need for someone to teach Bible Studies . . .but she's MILES away for being qualified to lead the strongest and best nation on the earth!

another thread for all the Nitwit Liberals to post their Sarah bashing............sorry, look what you elected, your opinion is worthless.

This woman can barely form complete, coherant sentences. Kinda reminds you of somebody else who had presidential aspirations, doesn't it? See how well that worked out?

I've always said, if she looked like a normal housewife, nobody would even talk to her. But in celebrity-crazed America, she turns into the second dopey backwoods hero of the right wing clowns. This is the Republican mindset in full bloom.

No wonder we're doomed.

And this is news why? Are you going to poll us on other ex-Governors of somewhat obscure, underpopulated and kinda weird states?

My God- who are the 3 in 10 who think this twit *is* qualified?

Does anyone remember the Katie Couric interview? This woman is as bad as bush, if not worse and certainly not qualified to run a cash register say nothing about the country. Lets not forget her ethics violation . Please people, I beg you, think before you vote.

Not Qualified, maybe but look what we have now, a community organizing socialist. I would vote for Sarah long before voting for the one.

Like if we didn't already know this.. we dont need a poll to tell us!

The central question people need to be a asking about a prospective candidate is not whether they like the person, but if they can lead and inspire. Palin may be a great person to hang around with, but if a majority of people question her ability to lead or to provide what could be descibed as a " Palin Doctrine" to lead our country through difficult times, then she is not a credible candidate. The perception of Palin is someone who is personally likeable, but has also marginalised herself by stating which Americans she prefers to be with.

I grew up in a town the size of Wasilla, AK, and I can tell you that its huge leap from Wasilla to a state house that governs a population half that of the metro Buffalo area. Its an even bigger step to the White House. Good intentions are not enough, and she lacks the intellect and ability to pull people around her.

Please PLEASE !!!!! Enough is enough. NO MORE SARAH STORIES.

What's the media going to do without covering her every move? Actual stories that matter? Don't count on it...

The shocking statistic here is that there are actually 3 out of every 10 people who think she IS qualified!

My only surprise is that it isn't "9 out of 10". This woman is a joke to politics.

Obama till 2016!

She's like and infection that wont go away. No matter what you do
it keeps coming back!!

you betcha

Go Sarah! The more the Democrats tear you apart, the more they are still afraid of you..........she's a breath of fresh air, she has common sense, something our great campaigner in chief is lacking.

Recognizing that former Governor Palin has not even indicated whether she will stand for her party's nomination in the 2012 primary, this poll is informative. I can't speak for those polled, but to me the problem with former Governor Palin isn't that she clearly is unqualified for the presidency; it is that she apparently is (as was another former Governor named Bush) unaware that she isn't qualified. That lack of self-awareness and the profound misjudgment about the qualifications necessary to manage a presidential administration is enough to disqualify her, as it should have disqualified him.

Like the song Don Schlitz wrote:

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.

Sarah knows when to stand her ground and when to retreat and knows that it isn't in the cards she has been dealt but how to play them.

Makes her one extraordinary woman.

BTW, this poll:
The 1,038 adult Americans questioned by telephone.

Where they likely voters? How many Democrats vs Republicans vs Independents? Without the information how this poll was conducted being published your poll has no meaning. For all the reader know you polled teenagers.

OH...and a CNN Opinion Poll carries any clout? Look at CNN's ratings...IN THE TANK! Americans know a biased so-called news organization when they see, smell and hear one. CNN's new banner slogan should be: "CNN The World's Most Biased Name in News...You Can Trust That To Be True!"

My only surprise is that it isn't "9 out of 10". This woman is a joke to politics.

Obama till 2016!

The scariest thing is that 29% of those polled think this moron could lead the country.Guess all the decisions are made by others in the shadows anyway,like ExxonMobil,who own her anyway.Now shes the biggest Corporate Fascist mouthpiece out there.

I hope people are finally figuring out that just because someone drives your political foes crazy doesn't qualify them to negotiate successfully with foreign governments, craft a forward-looking energy policy, or manage the economy. Jabbering about "freedom" and "values" is something anyone can do. Words are not skills, slogans are not proof of intellect.

But hey, she's gotta lose another 2 people before she's on an even percentage rating with Obumbles approval rating now. Seeing as how Obumbles hasn't done anything in the last 9 months, I think it's unfair to him to try and compare what Palin would be like. I mean it would be a blowout for Palin even if Obumbles did do something, now it just wouldn't be fair. Maybe the most fair way for Obumbles is to compare their golf game, seeing as he's apparently more concerned about that than the economy, Afghanistan, unemployment,...... basically everything that could help America.

I think the real surprise is that 29% think Sarah Palin is qualified to be president. This is the same woman who went from being a small-town mayor in a rural state to being the governor of that state, then quit before the end of her first term without giving any sort of logical explanation.

And let's not forget that she couldn't name a single newspaper she read regularly or a single Supreme Court decision besides Roe vs. Wade that she disagreed with.

And these same people accuse Barack Obama of being unqualified? Wow, just wow.

Are people who believe that palin cares about them from a different planet or do they remember that she quit her job to help the peolple of alaska half way through her term in order to make money!!!!!!! where oh where is the care in that. this lady only thinks of herself............

I'm surprised its only 7 in 10. The woman is a moron.

You call this news? If CNN had polled real Americans early on they would have found this out months ago. Stop polling the wing-nuts on either side and your polls may mean something.

I wish the media would forget all about this village idiot. Get on with something worth the time reporting. She is no different than that idiot in California that has the 14 kids. They both are just attention seekers. Sick in the mind. Jim Hall Kansas City

My faith in America is restored!

I knew the bulk of us saw Saint Sarah of the Silly as just that.

We can see that she is nothing more than a lying opportunist looking for financial gain. Not that that is bad, but we realize this moron is all about publicity and quitting to make a quick buck.

But what is more frightening, is that the republican party. They have subsequently stated the Twitter twit was not ready or capable and still pushed her as being capable to possibly hold the highest office in the country.

Just how is that putting "country first"?

.

About the same favorable ranking that Leona Helmsley had....on the likability scale right in between two words that both end with ..itch.

I think we can all agree that she is qualified to the the 2012 GOP Presidential nominee. It would really help The Daily Show's ratings.

Only 7 out of 10? People wonder why we get nothing done, because some people are too stupid to realize that barbie over here is qualified to be president.....*This is NOT a sexist comment, we all know barbie is a stupid blonde teaching little girls that they are objects, and Palin portrays this stupidity everyday*

CNN stop reporting on her, she spews hate....From both sides of the aisle, from me, from Democrats, Republicans, everyone...

This Is More HypocriCNN And It's Sarah Palin Propaganda Theory Application. I'm Not Going To Address Such Nonsense, But Not Even Willfully, Woefully, Selectively Ignorant Should By Shocked By This Poll.

And what qualifications did BHO have besides "community organizer" and a senator that voted "present"? At least she governed a state and did quite well at that!

So 3 in 10 people aren't qualified to take polls?

and she's doing a great job....

How much are you making?

Well, any thinking person regardless of his/her political views, who, after watching the Katie Couric interviews with Palin still thinks Palin is capable of being POTUS is certainly lacking any ability to make a strategic judgement.

My only surprise is that only 71% thinks she's unqualified. My guess would have been closer to 91%!!!

As I've often said, having her on the '012 Republican ticket in either slot has got to be the Dem's fondest hope!!!

I don't think that she is qualified to be President right now but I like her. She is fun and positive and she has an important message that we need to hear. The government cannot be the solution to every problem. Government options in healthcare or welfare cause as many problems as they try to solve. They become expensive and inefficient and people begin to stop appreciating them and start to feel entitled to them. We need everyone in this country working and everyone paying taxes and a government that looks to cut spending to keep taxes at a reasonable level. With that type of plan we can have a balanced budget.

She's not qualified to be Governor of Alaska!

People are just now figuring that out? That doesn't give me much faith in our electorate.

Please CNN, your true colors show every time you make up one of these bogus polls, using probably all Democrats or people that don't like Palin.
Polls are and always will be bogus. They poll only a few hundred people or at most a thousand which is not and never will be a slice of opinions of America.
When you do a poll using maybe a thousand from every state, and they are evenly divided between parties, then maybe there will be some credibility to your polls.

Sarah Palin isn't even qualified to be called a human.

She knows she not qualified! She loves the media attention and the MONEY!

Only 7 in 10? What's wrong with the other 3?

Should read 10 out of 10!!!!

Bogus Polls. Interview 7 Democrats and 3 Republicans and you get the results you always want. Framing questions a certain way gets the same results. This is the tricks of CNN, AP, NYT, NBC, CBS, etc. We the American's that have jobs, pay our taxes, and don't stand in line for free hand-outs won't be fooled.

What does qualified have to do with it? She is more qualified than our current President.

thank God, may folk have seen the light

It should be 10 in 10. I don't know what's wrong with the people. Palin does not even have the educational background or any thing else to be president. I would bet that she won governor in Alaska as a result of being popular after being in that beauty contest.

Anyone who saw her interviews should know she was and still is way out of her league. Not to mention quitting before her term as governor ended.

Hey CNN... Nice spin to tear her down again!

Guess what... 10 out of 10 wouldn't vote for John Edwards either. Do you think CNN.com will run with that piece?

More proof of the liberal agenda...
AND CNN WONDERS WHY FOX KICKS THEIR BUTTS IN RATINGS!

That just proves that 3 in 10 people in this country are really, really stupid.

What did these people do with the money that was spent on their education? Buy pizza?

Insult to intelligence!

I will NOT DRILL DOWN ON news about this bumpkin except

BAD NEWS

It's not even FUNNY

I am sick of looking at her legs and the hair in her eyes

put her on a centerfold for those who still want to GAWK

The GOP has lost tens of millions of voters; less than 30% of Americans still call themselves Republicans. That said, the party still has a firm grip on the nation's nuts, idiots and morons: GOP voters' top choice for the 2012 presidential candidate is a guy who believes women were created from the rib of a man, with 2nd choice going to someone who didn't know Africa was a continent.

God save America.

CNN your polls are a joke half the country doesn't equal a thousand thirty eight people.

The media was so afraid of her when she ran for VP that they had to camp out in Alaska looking for dirt, tear her family apart and compare her qualifications to Obama. She was running for VP, she isn't running for president. Too bad the media didn't give that same microscopic attention to Obama and his qualifications........or lack of, he would never have been elected president................Thanks, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABS, New York Times, Newsweek, etc...............You got elected the worst president in History, and it hasn't even been a year!

She is far from qualified. She displays ignorance very well. We just got
past 8 years of arrogance and ignorance, Sarah, please go away,

Only 7 in 10? That speaks volumes for the 30% of brain dead voters out there. So 21% of the GOP currently supports the ONLY candidate that even has a remote chance of winning? If they think Huckelberry OR the lipstick Fido from Alaska has any chance they are delusional

Palin has no interest in being president. She learned how much money she could make during the last campaign which is why she resigned as governor. This is all about her making as much money as she can because she is not interested in doing what is best for the public either in Alaska or the rest of the country. Ironically, her being out of politics is the best thing she can do for the country.

Palin not qualified to be president? Say it ain't so. LOL

Sarah Palin has one advantage that many past Republican candidates have not shared – Americans think she cares about people like them,"
------------------------------

Falin Quittin Palin has perfected the art of LYING while still being able to put on that " No I didn't" look when she's caught at it. Therein lies Palin's one true strenght: being able to prevaricate and obfuscate better than any RethugliKlan candidate. She's so good at it that you will find otherwise rational people right on this blog singing her praises, and trying to find out where they can send her their hard-earned money or monthly welfare checks. She's good!!! But not good enough.

And the remaining 30% need to have a lobotomy.

Not surprising but unfortunately Obama's experience is just as bad and it has been a detriment to his time in office. Palin is not running for President and we all know she is not going to run so there is no need to run these ridiculous articles. We don't need another President like OBAMA from either party that needs On the Job Training.

I find this article distressing. Usually when I read about Palin it's for some lighthearted humor or news on some odd thing she's done. How in the name in all that's right can any American feel Palin would be good as president, Republican or Democrat? I know many Americans don't look favorably at us Canadians to the north, but please listen to reason, do not even fathom electing this woman to represent your great country. Her views, ineptitude and proverbial stupidity are a very dangerous combination.

No kiddin'? And the sky is blue....

Really, its that low for her? I would have figured 9out of ten would say she wasn't qualified. People I am a republican, I consider myself to be mainstream, Some call me a moderate some a conservitive. But I will not let my party showcase this person as an presidential candidate. This would be embarrassing for our party. We need to get back to our roots and not be swayed by this glamor-gal with no knowledge of world polictics. If this would be the case then I would mostlikely vote as an independant or not vote at all. We need a political figue of the old like Reagan, maybe Rommney may work but not Palin !!!! She is just a joke and I am tired of the GOP being the butt of the jokes for the past 4-6 yrs. We got through the Bush/Cheney area lets build something new and strong

AND BARACK OBAMA IS QUALIFIFED!!! Hey CNN why don't you report what Palin did for her constituency in Alaska. Tell America how Alaskans pay NO State Income tax, NO Sales Tax, No property Tax and every Alaskan got a check for the state goverment for $3300. Because PALIN went up against big oil and made them pay mineral rights!!! Hey CNN we don't need your shoddy reporting anymore haven't you heard America is waking up!!!!

Does this mean you'll stop featuring her every move? Will a day go by without her?

I thought the worst news for Palin's chance at being president occurred when she resigned her governorship?

I don't agree with that poll at all, I think she's a terrible role model for women. First off, I don't think women should run for public office. Second, they shouldn't have babies when they are over 30 and Palin had one when she was over 40!!

CNN has to make up news to keep palin in the headlines on their site. how pathetic. Why not state more of the obvious like... the sky is blue, zebras have stripes and CNN has a lame excuse for a new webpage layout. Report that news CNN..

Another one sided poll by CNN. Cnn always polls more democrats than republicans. Just more SPIN! Don't believe it, if you want the truth go to Fox News!

Finally, the American people have awakened ! Sarah Palin is no more qualified to be president than I am.

We are currently witnessing what happens when you put an inexperienced, inept, clueless, dolt in the White House.

Of course people don't want to make the same mistake again.

Oh no! Say it ain't so!
Maybe she should run as an independent conservative party candidate, split the Republican vote and guarantee another Democratic victory. She could ask Ralph Nader to run as her VP candidate, he knows all about this technique.

What is real scary is that 3 in 10 think she IS qualified to be President.

Considering the source of the poll results, I dare think this information is biased. CNN is not the appropriate organization to be polling on such topics.

the last paragraph says it all, the GOP has no strong candidates whatsoever, and they prob wont have one in '12.

She doesn't even qualify to be a real person. But this is the kind of reporting I like to see concerning this thing. Would be even better if you CNN just stop reporting on it all together until she passes away.

Gee, ya think?

thank you just because the people who go on cnn hate her that doesn't mean that all americains hate her
if fox did a poll 70% or more would think she makes a great president

Street sweeping with adult supervision is the only thing this idiot is even remotely qualified for. And that could be questionable.
She is not smart enough to see what people really think of her. She is STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID

Only in America

Obama still got elected didn't he! Worst.President.Ever.

Could we please get over her, CNN?

You mean to tell me that 30% of Americans think she IS qualified to be president?!!

That's VERY scarey! ...That SO many Americans can be THAT stupid.

Is it any wonder that with each passing day we slip further and further behind other countries in almost every category except making weapons. It's because we are a nation is stupid people.

She may be a good fund raiser but not presidential material.

Normally i would not waste my time commenting on this delusional, narcissistic woman, but Palin is even dumber than GW Bush,... and we all know how well that turned out.

This is what liberals worry about?

You gotta be kidding me. Well anything to take attention away from Obama's (a guy with similar qualifications) broken promises.

Palin needs to be bribed in order to show her support for conservative Republicans? I am glad to see she is acting on her convictions and not selling her support to the highest bidder. $1.2 million from the book deal and she needs to be money-grubbing for more? I guess this is how she relates to the common working person? Most people don't have the luxury of quitting a stable job in order to make a quick buck based on celebrity status.

No wonder Obama likes your so-called news organization. Your CNN polls always show the good side of the dems, and the bad side of the repubs.

And Obama does?

About time the rest of America wakes up to what most of us already knew in November 2008! She was never and will never have the cajones or brains to be President!

WHO CARES!!! stop reporting on her and she goes away.....

They care about Fox/Rasmussen and not CNN poll.
Let them elect this stupid lady.

Sarah Palin isn't qualified to hold public office, she proved that when she was playing govonor of of Alaska.

cnn is an arm of the democratic party. give the palins a rest.

She's not qualified in that she has not been elected. Our current president is proof positive that no other qualification is necessary to occupy the oval office.

I'm surprised it isn't 11 out of 10.

Will she be running? Plus, how do the numbers of people who will oppose her for being a woman compare with those who will support her for being a woman? There are people who will blindly do either. Just curious as to what and how much of an effect it would have. Could go either way.

LOL,I Think, .at least she can make decision.Also she would be a U.S.A. president not a U.N. president..

WOW – who didn't know that. The first time she opened her mouth, I knew it. She cares about the 20% of religious fanatics that are just like her. Do you really think she cares about anyone that doesn't have her fanatical beliefs? She will never be qualified. She is a joke.

If they asked whether Obama is qualified to be President, I wonder how many would respond in the positive.

well ... my view ... she's certainly NOT qualified to be president. I'd not vote for her to be mayor, either.

the ethics/morals she SPEAKS about appear to be noticably different than the ethics/morals she practices. and for that reason, i think she's a poor role model for anyone.

Regardless of what one thinks of Ms. Palin, your headline is completely misleading. CNN, who has a dim view of Ms. Palin to begin with, jumps on these poll numbers as being a half empty glass. However, the poll numbers could just as easily have been reported as a half full glass as well...I noted some rather nice numbers as well as some bad ones. There is no data in that article to conclude that Mr. Palin would be especially unhappy with the poll. Just trying to cast a little objectivity into the article.

Why are we still talking about this woman?
For the love of God......please make it stop.

According to the Evangelical Christian philisophy Sarah Palin does NOT meet the criteria for a christian woman. A woman is to submit to her husband, and be a stay- at home -wife- and mother. Mrs. Palin does neither. Ask PAT ROBERTSON.

On a more practical level she lacks a 4th grade knowledge of geography.

Duh. This moron isn't qualified to set pins in a bowling alley.

The only suprise is the delusional 30% who think (or pretend) she is qualified for office. The GOP has the bar set pretty low.

Palin should stay home and just keep an eye on Russia for us.

Duh!! Of course she is not qualified, I am surprised there are 3 in 10 idiots out there that believe she is!!!

I really hope she is not elected in 2012. She's an awful person.

Is this bad news for Palin or bad news for the country?

Apparently 30% of the people in the US are so stupid that they DO think Palin is qualified to be President.

I think sarah would be a terrible lier. Therefore I think she would be great for the white house. It don't bother most politicians to lie, however sarah would tell the truth and let us people figure out the best path.
She would give america back to the people where it belongs.
I would vote for her.

"Sarah Palin has one advantage that many past Republican candidates have not shared – Americans think she cares about people like them," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

How can anyone think that Palin cares about anyone but herself? Wasn't her narcissism and phony demeanor obvious to everyone? There are none so blind as those who will not see.

Why would anyone listen to anything she has to say,just because she was picked out of thin air to run as VP. She could not even finish her job in Alaska,she has no credibility, and I am glad they picked her,she most definitely cost the republicans the election....Pray she runs again...

Funny thing about Palin is she is relates with little over half of America, about the same percentage just at or below average intelligence. Certainly those who watch reality TV frequently would agree with such a "character" in politics.

Beyond that, that's alos a segment of the population who takes the popularity contest part of candidates fairly serious. Be warned, there is no swimsuit competition.

Conservatives tend to have candidates they can relate to in lieu of more intelligent ones. Bush was someone they'd have a beer with (eventhough he's a recovered alcoholic), and we all know why some men would vote for Palin...

here we go again.

this is not new and palin already knew she wasn't qualify. not even as the governor of Alaska.

be for real

CNN NEWS why are you so obssessed to follow Sarah Palin's every move?

I would have to agree and say the same applies with Obama, Biden Pelosi, or any potential candidate that the Repubulicans are offering thus far. Obama is not the hope we were looking for, but the alternatives (esp with the next two in order of succession) are scarier. I think Hilary could defiantly do a much better job at this point than this administration, but there is no way she will become the nominee for the next primary. The hope that I have right now is that someone adequate for the job appears from out of nowhere over the next two and a half years.

Forget Palin. How about more articles on the democratic attack dog Rep. Grayson. You gotta love that guy. He tells it like it is and doesn't bite his tongue. Why can't the rest of the democratic party grow a pair of cajones the size of his.

52% of REPUBLICANS would vote for her, 47% REPUBLICANS don't support her...........and you can bet the Democrats and independents don't support her........she has to run and face off with the other Republican canidates running for President before she can run against Obama........and if Ms DIVA SARAH thinks for one minute these fellow GOP canidates aren't going to chew her up like a bunch of mad SHARKS and spit her out, then she has another thing coming......and if she thinks the Media was unfair to her, she ain't seen nothing yet and this time it will be her own Party chompping at her heels.........

Our current president isn't any more qualified than Sarah Palin. And look at the crappy job he's doing.

No no no. The fact that 7 out of 10 people don't think she's qualified to be president is good news. The number should really read 10 out of 10. Now that would be bad news for her.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that Mrs. Palin is not qualified to be President of the Untied States. Just listen to her speeches where she just rambles on.

How COULD she be qualified? I've never understood how Palin fans can completely bypass the fact that she QUIT after barely two years in her one term as governor because she couldn't take the heat. Her continued presence in the Republican scene defies logic.

She seems like a great lady who really does care what happens to the Country but I agree she is not experienced enough to be President or VP.. But good luck Sarah I am sure you will do well in other areas.

I really don't understand these polls. You're taking a poll in 2009...some 3 years out before the 2012 Presidential Election. What is this trying to prove? Does this mean in 3 years Sarah Palin would still not be qualified to be President?

This doesn't mean that I think she's qualified now. But in 3 years, if she really wants to give it a go for President, she could become well-versed in the issues at hand and offer up tangible ideas that could set the agenda of the 2012 campaign.

Until then, all this shows is a waste of money for the poll takers whose main objective, it appears, is to plant the idea in everyone's head that she's unelectable.

I'll believe in polls moreso in 2012. But in 2009? Come on...

I love how scared she makes you libs/marxists

really sad the state of debate between the two parties

as soon as CNN releases a set of poll number, they are blasted as inaccurate, wrong, leftist

NO POSTERS, SHE REALLY HAS THAT LOW AN APPROVAL RATING

the only place, and I mean you would have to poll in a specific locality to get higher numbers for her, is at a right wing party function

I don't think she would poll high even at a church, I belong to an evangelical church, she is not popular

she is an idiot, why do you need a poll after her past performances.

The Republican Party is falling apart because they have become too hard right. Many former staunch Reppublicans left the party because the only thing the Right seemed to espouse was social conservatism which a huge majority of the country is against. And the crazy thing is that the hard-line Conservatives think the party isn't conservative enough. Republicans used to be for the average American, they used to not be all religiously vitriolic, they used to be for the environment, but no more. The Libertarians are being left out to dry (as evidenced by the GOP's failure to allow Ron Paul to the GOP convention), and the Republican Party will dry up as a consequence, leaving the Republican Party with a bunch of close-minded social conservatives, not to mention the huge number of gay Republican politicians who stay in the closet because of the religious right. What a sham the party has become.

I certainly do not disagree with this poll. However, we all have to learn as we go. Palin is doing that. Maybe at a slower pace than some give her credit but, still the same she is moving forward. People who trash her should just hold judgement and we will all see in the long run. The one thing that impresses about Palin is the fact (contrary to some opinion) she did support her daughter. She also had Trig knowing full-well that he had "Downs Syndrone" before berth. That's what an amniocentesis is all about. They do the chromosome study before berth. People who question her moral attributes IMO are misguided.

Is this suppose to be a surprise? Dear God fellow Republicans, she's not qualified to run Alaska! Local PTA maybe.

she's more qualified than obama

palin and joe the plummer the new voice for the republican party this lady just refuses to go away i dont see how she was ever elected to be gov. but stranger things have happen.

At least she understands the fundamentals of the constitution. Barack Obama has no idea what he is doing...combine that with is radical beliefs and we are in trouble! Attack and Spend, that's Barack!

Yeah...

Barack is not polling much better!!!!!!!

In about a year when unemployment is in double digits.

Our dollar is worth nothing.

Interest rates are through the roof.

Utility bills are sky high from (cap and trade)

Industry is in a mass exodus from the highest tax rates in the world.

WE WILL ALL KNOW WHO WAS NOT QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT.

Sarah simply became too full of herself when she made the leap into believing she should be VP or POTUS. Certainly I would expect and hope that she is trustworthy and honest. However, Alaska's investigations into her past efforts did shine doubt on that as well. She is not qualified to be our president and most people realize this. It is a shame she stepped down as Alaska's governor. That was a mistake on her part.

It is little wonder that the polls are showing this after the hack job that the media and the Democrats did on Gov. Palin. Not only could they wait to pounce upon her in their fear that she would cause the media's "anointed one" to fail in his bid to the White House, but even well after the campaign was over, the left and its allies continue to attack Gov. Palin. The funny part is that she was and remains more qualified to lead this nation that the person that was elected. Go figure.... Gov Palin just wasn't what the liberal elite wanted in a female leader..... Instead, she was a real anti-corruption advocate who wanted honesty, efficiency within a small government framework.

She is more qualified than obama that's for sure.

Oh please, give me a break! Palin is not worth consideration to run for a county supervisor seat, let alone the presidency!

I wouldn't vote for Palin even if she were a progressive. She simply doesn't have enough knowledge to be president.

Of course I have no intention of ever voting for a conservative. Their ideology tends to be in complete opposition to my views.

I wonder how many people thought Obama was unqualified in fall of 2005?

Yeah, she's qualified... TO QUIT!!! I would never vote for anyone who touted her "executive experience" only to quit. She wasn't even in office as Governor for one term. NO, SHE IS NOT QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT. I do agree that she is qualified to serve in someone's administration though.

I can see her Presidential Election Ads... "Vote for me, but if you say too much stuff against me I'll quit."

I am stunned that so many people see Palin as honest and trustworthy. I guess they never read the articles and reports and blogs coming out of Alaska. This woman is nothing but a money-grubbing grifter who used her office to enrich herself whenever and wherever possible.

Thank God and all other higher powers that 70% of Americans have some good sense. Now, CNN, PLEASE STOP COVERING THIS WOMAN'S EVERY MOVE

Who cares? Since when do you need to be qualified to be president of the United States nowadays? Look a Barack Obama.

Sarah Palin is very qualified for raising millions of dollars, and time and time again it is proven that big bucks equal big victory.

What is the purpose of that poll? To further demean this woman? Shame on you CNN! I don't recall hearing her or anyone else for that matter, claiming that she intended to run for POTUS. BUT, if she did and happened to be elected, I would guarantee that she would be a better POTUS than the empty suit all the liberal, racist naysayers voted into office! Why is the press so eager to shun this woman? What did she ever do to deserve this negative attention?

I agree that she is not qualified, but neither is O'Bama. A 1 term senator with virtually no voting record? Not exactly presidential credentials.

Fifty two percent of republicans think this woman is worthy of the presidency? They wonder why the republican party has lost its way?
"Sarah Palin has one advantage that many past Republican candidates have not shared – Americans think she cares about people like them," – does this mean the real Americans? What about the rest of us who are also real Americans but don't , thank goodness, follow her like sheep to slaughter?
I am not surprised that there are people out there who think someone who has quit everything she has ever done in her life is worth talking about. She is only out for the money that mccain planted in front of her by picking her as his running mate. Then again, we do have the attic boy fiasco, joe the plumber, this woman herself and others whose lives people seem to care about for no good reason except that they are useless.

Why do we waist our time – this woman is clearly indecisive. Look at the number of colleges that she attended – my goodness she quit in the middle of her term. She has no fortitude.

It's funny though...she is more qualified to be president than our current president. Where was that point brought up in the pro-left CNN poll?

i love it anytime this dumb, dumb,dumb woman gets bad news so does all republicans. the republicans are bad news in the whole for america.

What? Not qualified? That's a shocker.

oh please enough about this nutjob!

Is this a surprise? She's a quitter, she can't answer a simple question about anything without showing how much she's unprepared, her rallies were demonstration of pure bigotry and racial hate and THUS she's unqualified.

Most of the young voters in this country don't know which way the wind is blowing. Obama campaigned for change which was his way of beating out Hillary when he didn't make any change in Washington. Hiring Clinton's former administration shows that he didn't have the experience to become president or even a senator. I am hoping he doesn't win a second term or this country will go down deeper than what it is now. Thanks to the brainless college students we are in the mess that we are in now. They need to get a grip on politics.

She's just as qualified as Obama. Then again, I didn't think he was qualified either...and we now see the results.

She is qualified to be president. President of the Russian Federation, since would not have to travel far from home.

LOL
CNN poll, LOL, CNN poll, LOL
Have you seen how CNN is doing vs FOX NEWS
People have caught on to the fact that CNN is just a biased joke of a disinformation outlet.

If those 7 out of 10 people polled are liberals, than I hope she runs, and wins. haha.

What this really means is that 30% of Americans are below the level of moron.

And this is news. The sad thought is that anyone believes that she is qualified.

Palin is a passing fad, who's going to make a quick bag full of cash, and then move on. There's no real committment, she's just an opportunist doing her part in the New Republican Party's mission to "Dumb Down" the American electorate.

There are a lot of issues nationalwide and worldwide to be let rest on her shoulders, and expect her to tackle them in an appropriate way.
Selling her book, is the best option which suits her very well and will not bother any!

Only 7 in 10? Wow! What more proof do you need to see that education in this country really needs help?

Is it any surprise really? What has she shown that is trully remarkable? I think that one thing that makes George W. Bush better than her is that he actually came closer to finishing a full term as governor. That really isn't saying much either.

Palin hasn't shown that she can really do what needs to get done and stay in there for the long haul. Is she really serious in thinking that she can do the job? I would have serious reservations about her being much beyond a second string sports reporter.

The sad thing is that 3 out 10 think she's qualified.

First of all who puts confidence in these polls, anybody and everybody that i've talk to in the past year thinks that this woman should not even get the attention from the press that she gets , second this woman is a quitter pure and simple when the going gets tough so does Palin , she tends to bail out on everyone when things aren't in her best interest ,third , during the 2008 campaign there were people using racial slurs and all kinds of divisive comments , yet she did nothing but stood there and listen to them , what kind of person does that make her ? RACIST AND DEVISIVE , she only became Mcains running mate because the republican thought was to hopefully sway woman voters that may have not liked how Hillary was being treated , but don't forget that American woman are not stupid or gullable.....so Palin is nowhere near qualified to be POTUS....now print that CNN since you have this love affair with this idiot......

Wonder if this is the same polling group who thinks Obama is fantastic.....

Imagine Palin or Huck with all their negative prejudicial views - imagine them trying to deal with SMART world leaders. Yekkkkkkk

Two of the dimmest bulbs on the tree - in fact, neither can even find the tree. Ego ego ego ego ego.

If Sarah Palin was president and faced with all the issues that President Obama currently has to deal with, she would have resigned before she finished taking the oath!

Sarah Palin could not screw up this country anymore than Obama and his team already have,. I have more faith in her from an economic and foreign policy perspective than I do for anyone on Obamas team.
However I do believe that there are more qualified canidates in the GOP.

She's not qualified to lead a Girl Scout troop through a department store.

Are people finally waking up and smelling the moose and realizing this broad doesn't have the brains to be President? What was it made them finally decide? Qutting the governourship? Being "Show Me The Money Sarah" in a book deal? Opening mouth and inserting foot to the knee again and again, and again? Or was it the fact she's a Republican?

Please stop with woman..she is a nobody..she had her 15 minutes of fame..not let her fade off into the sunset and stop reporting on her.

The most troublesome part of this article is that it would imply 30% of Americans still think she IS qualified.

Oh... gosh can you imagine what's Sarah's press conference would be like as a president? Well.... next week, my family will be travel to Alaska for some moose hunting in Marine One. She's the biggest joke in American politics history. I still don't see why McCain thought she could be a good VP.

Palin is a joke, I think she is related to george bush, also a joke!!!!

I see that CNN is already starting with the Bash Sarah Palin. Deminish her influence on the Conservative movement. Soon you will be back to checking her clothing and seeing where seh purchased it.
CNN is losing the ratings war and your liberal bias is the reason why.

Lol! And Obomba, who never even managed a KFC prior to becoming POTUS had so much more experience? LOLOLOL!

She could not fulfill her term as governor of Alaska. There is simply no way this lady is qualified to POTUS.

as I read here yesterday, "CNN and MSNBC have sold her book for her"

and its true

what, she is not qualified for the presidency... of course she isn't, and if she was she would just quit at the first sign of trouble

she will have her supporters that even if she goes helter skelter and starts killing people, will still support her

but, it is really a civic duty to talk about issues, and while she is barely an issue, she keeps throwing her self out there, she likes the punishment

So what...... Barack Obama "does not have the credentials to serve in the white house". I would be a whole lot more comfortable with her there than I am now.

Palin not qualified? Is that supposed to be a news story? Of course she's not qualified for the Oval Office. After all, she's the failed governor of a backwards state. How could she possibly be ready for the highest office in the land?

No, Sarah Palin does not care about the people. Let's get that clear right now. Sarah Palin cares about one – and only one – person. And that person, of course, is Sarah Palin. She's a narcissist with an insatiable ego. On top of that, she's not too bright (check her college transcripts.) This is a very dangerous combination. Feeding that ego only makes the beast more dangerous.

What a sexest group of people here, Palin was better then Obama

People who think Sarah Palin is honest obviously don't read the news, or don't want to believe what they read in the news unless it is what they want it to say. I'm guessing they rely on FOX for their news and don't realize it's not news.

She should read the Constitution (if she knows how to read). She didn't know the job of the Veep when asked. Does she know the job of POTUS??? Definately NO!!!
All she is is a pig without lipstick.

Only 30 % think she is not qualified to be president. Funny almost 30 % think Bush did a good jjob as president. That proves once and for all that 30% of the American people are just plain idiots.

So I guess its fairly safe to say there is a large chunk of the population (29%) that is so far removed from reality that its frightening. This is the same group that still think Saddam Hussein was involved with 9/11 and that invading Iraq was a good idea.
In my world we have an old fashioned word for them. Idiots.

Who are the 30% that do? I've spoken to Republicans, Democrats and Independents. They don't agree on much but they all agree on her. The GOPers blame he for costing them the White House the Dems thank her for pretty much the same reason and the Independents are sick of hearing about her and her annoying family. Oh wait I think I know are these those same 30% who think George W. was the best President ever? Maybe that is it.

Somewhere out there in this beautiful nation we call America, there are 3% of people who need to be slapped back into reality.

OBAMA 2012

I have to laught at this. Same comments were made when the present President was being considered. Polls too biased!

I agree that Palin is not qualified at this point, though I am wondering of Obama was any more qualified either. But a comment on fair and balance news. This political ticker appears to be a forum for Left and Right to sling mud. More mud comes from the left than the right. But if you look at the ariticles, more than 70% are about Republicans, the titles seem to be more negative towards republicans as well. I believe there is some bias reporting by CNN as well – CNN appeals to the left, just look at the blogs.

Palin not qualified to be President? Next they'll be telling us fire is hot!

Who are these 29% of people that think she's qualified? Isn't it uncomfortable walking around with your head up your backside everyday?

That still leaves 3 out of 10 Americans who think she is perfectly qualified...now thats scary!!!!

Its a photo finish to decide who is more unqualified Palin or our community organizer on chief.

Let the Dems register and vote for her as independents in the primaries since there will be none for the democrats.She will make a wounderful candidate.

Hey Republicans! Don't believe this kind of stuff from the evil, left-wing, Obama loving media – Sarah HAS to run for president in '12! You go girl!!! Yes, sir – it will be a LANDSLIDE! Of course, it will be a landslide for the Democrats, but YOU GO GIRL!!!

7 in 10. I was hoping for 10 in 10. Palin is evil. A true believer, in that voodoo stuff.

She is a beautiful woman...Too bad her politician skills aren't as sharp as her looks...

She is qualified to be the next commander in chief. She has the credentials and has already proved to the world. Give her a chance. Go Sarah!

I want to know who are these 52% of Republicans and just how low have they set their bar?

The only thing that's surprising is that there are still 3 out of 10 who think she WOULD be qualified to be president! Who are these people? I'd like to find them and exploit their foolishness in some way, like selling them some magic beans or something.
