WPost Poll - 30% Approve Palin Response, 78% Obama to Shootings

[RamboLiberal]

Whatever her emotional suffering, Palin also seems to be suffering in the realm of public opinion for what she said after the attack. According to the brand new ABC News-Washington Post Poll, out tonight, 30 percent of Americans approve of the way Palin responded to the Tucson shootings, compared with 78 percent for President Obama. And 46 percent of those polled disapprove of Palin's response, including 32 percent who say they "strongly" disapprove."

Perhaps more troubling for the Palin team; fewer than half of Republicans say they approve of her response, 48 percent.

2. I would take a guess saying

that at least half of that 30% that liked Palin, where waked out on meth at the time of the poll. Just saying.

3. LOL

that 30% would approve if she had advocated the extermination of all puppies. She made an absolute fool of herself with that self-pitying speech.

7. 30%. It's always roughly 30%, give or take a few points.

That's a sobering thought, when you're standing there talking to two other outwardly-sane strangers, especially since asking "okay, which one of you is batshit crazy?" is frowned upon in most social settings.

4. I suspect that's very close to the fundy base

Who got the dog whistle.

5. Her failure is nearly complete nt

8. But the 48% of Republicans who "approve" may be primary voters.

Therein may lie the problem for the Republicans.

10. Sister Sarah, the female Ann Coulter!
