Most Americans Don't Want President Palin
Paliban Watch, US Tuesday, January 19th, 2010A new CBS News poll finds that a substantial majority of Americans do not want Sarah Palin to run for President in 2012. But wait, there’s more!
Seventy-one percent of Americans overall do not want to see Palin run for President. Broken out along party lines:
- Republican: 56% No, 30% Yes
- Democrat: 88% No, 8% Yes
- Independent: 65% No, 25% Yes
Only 26% of Americans overall view Wailin’ Palin favorably; while this is a slight increase over November of 2009 (then 23% favorable), those viewing her unfavorably increased as well . . . from 38% in November to 41% now. Seems exposure from her book tour didn’t help, but rather helped undecideds make up their minds.
Only 43% of Republicans hold favorable views, and self-described Conservatives hit the top at 46% favorable . . . but even 53% of these folks don’t want her to run for President.
Also included in the poll was the Tea Party movement. Per the poll results,
The Tea Party may still be too nascent a movement to have registered yet with most Americans; seven in ten have no opinion of it so far.
The results for those with an opinion? 18% viewed it favorably and 12% unfavorably.
