42% of Republicans ‘definitely would not’ vote for Sarah Palin

The results of a new ABC News/Washington Post poll released Tuesday bear ill omen for former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

Nearly two-third of those surveyed said they "definitely would not" vote for Palin should she decide to run for president in 2012. It's known that she is generally unpopular with Democrats and Independent voters, but the knife in her candidacy is further twisted by the poll numbers from Republicans: 42 percent of GOPers surveyed rejected voting for her.

More than six in 10 surveyed said that Palin was not qualified to be president.

Palin has been playing coy about whether she will run, embarking on a nationwide bus tour beginning late May that she insists is not a campaign tour, and "not about her." Recently, Palin has been making headlines with her mangling of an account of Paul Revere's historical midnight ride.

slighty... so very slightly...

:evilgrin:

But I would think that even more probably not vote for her. Her supporters are a small minority. However, there are A LOT of Republicans that like having her around because she is a distraction for the Democratic Party. I don't know the numbers or anything, but I've met quite a few people who feel that way.

I would say the vast majority would not want to vote for her, but many would if she won the nomination. It would then be, would you vote for Obama or Palin? In that case, many would vote for Palin, but they would prefer ANY other option.

I've said this many times, Palin gets attention because people, mostly Democrats, get upset with her and her views. She is an idiot, but she knows that keeping people angry keeps her in the spotlight.
