Palin's unfavorable rating hits high mark
By Jordan Fabian - 01/19/11 10:32 AM ET


Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's unfavorable rating reached an all-time low in a poll released Wednesday as President Obama's job approval rating is on the rise.

Fifty-six percent said in a CNN/Opinion Research poll that they have a unfavorable opinion of the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee while only 38 percent view her favorably. Palin's unfavorable rating previously peaked at 55 percent in early April 2010, soon after the healthcare reform bill was signed into law.

Meanwhile, Obama saw his approval ratings rise above 50 percent in two major polls just three months after the Democrats and he took a self-described "shellacking" in the midterm elections.

Palin has said she is considering a run against Obama in 2012, but the polls suggest she has a lot of ground to make up on the president.

1. It's ok to ignore her now.

As Dave C put it in the comments over at Balloon Juice, she's not just trolling a message board, or the comments on a blog -- she's trolling a whole country. She's not serious. She's a troll.

This is DU. We -- in theory -- know what to do with trolls.

4. You can expect another week of Martyrdom next week....

National Enquirer is apparently readying a story about "Todd's prostitute problem".... One of the more questionable Alaska blogs has been following the story, so I'm going to refrain from including a link. I'm sure more sordid details will become apparent at the supermarket and from the shrill protestations on Hannity next week.

5. I always give Palin favorable ratings in polls, because I WANT her to run. n/t

6. Who are amongst those alleged 38 percent that still "view" her favorably?!?

Many of them must be lecherous old coots who fap off while watching her YouTube videos, after taking some viagra.

10. America: waking up; Popular media: Still snoozing

Every utterance, tweet, twit and fart out of Lady BlahBlah seems to make the news.
