If Sarah Palin still has any plans to run for president, now might be an ideal time to call them off.
A large majority of Americans already consider her unqualified. But now even a considerable plurality of Tea Partiers, her political epicenter, deem her unfit for the job, according to a national New York Times/CBS poll released Thursday.
Forty-seven percent of self-identified Tea Partiers say Palin is unqualified, while 40 percent deem her a good candidate for the office. Thirteen percent don't know or are undecided, according to the survey.
They were responding to the question, "Do you think Sarah Palin would have the ability to be an effective President, or not?"
Palin quit her post as governor of Alaska mid-way through her first term and has since taken to the speaking and Tea Party circuit, earning conservative admirers across the nation. She has consistently demurred when asked about her intentions for 2012, leaving all options open.
