Gallup wonders: What happened to Palin’s favorable rating?
posted at 9:41 am on October 16, 2009 by Allahpundit
Worth posting if only to lay down a marker about where her favorables were before the book was released. At 40/50, there’s nowhere to go but up. Hopefully.
Palin became a bit of a sensation after John McCain tapped her as his running mate last August. But over the course of the campaign, her image suffered, going from a 53% favorable rating immediately after the 2008 Republican National Convention to 42% by the end of the campaign.
Palin’s ratings have not recovered, and her current 40% favorable rating is the lowest for her since she became widely known after last year’s Republican convention…
Palin could compete for the 2012 nomination because she is still widely liked by Republicans — 69% have a favorable opinion of her while only 25% view her unfavorably. But she may have difficulty succeeding in the general election, given that Democrats have overwhelmingly negative opinions of her, and independents view her more negatively than positively.
They offer no explanation for the slide but it’s not a mystery. Follow the link and see for yourself when the divergence between her favorable and unfavorable numbers started to grow. Anything important happen this past July? It’s not just Gallup either. If you scan Pollster.com’s poll of polls on her net favorables dating back to last year, you’ll find that she was pretty near even as recently as … mid-July, when suddenly the slide begins. In fact, Gallup’s numbers today are actually an improvement for her: The last three polls taken showed her approval in the 30s and her disapproval in the mid-50s. Proof positive, I guess, that her resignation has resonance with voters and will be a major issue in the primaries if she runs. I’ll bet Huck’s gaming out the “America can’t afford a quitter” ads as we speak.

That’s gonna really hurt her in next week’s primary.

haikusrock on October 16, 2009 at 9:45 AM
Her numbers will go up when she does interviews and publicity for her book.
Also, next year she’ll campaign for conservatives and her number will go way up.
No worries here.
Palin/Bachmann 2012!

Stop picking on poor Sarah, “JUST LEAVE SARAH ALONE!!!!”*CRIES*”LEAVE HER ALONE!!!”
Squid Shark on October 16, 2009 at 9:47 AM
Proof positive, I guess, that her resignation has resonance with voters and will be a major issue in the primaries if she runs.
On the contrary, her support in polling was remarkably consistent for a few weeks after her resignation. Which is what brought shell-shocked observers like Fred Barnes to the realization that she wasn’t finished after all and their jerky panicky reactions were wrong.
Then ABC stepped with its bogus poll and all the MSM/Dem polls are following suit in understating her support. Bring me a Rasmussen poll and an explanation as to why her polling was good the first three weeks after her resignation and I’ll buy your argument.
promachus on October 16, 2009 at 9:47 AM
I don’t care. Just because her approval numbers suck doesn’t mean I’m still not going to support her. She has a great article in NRO, and I completely agree with everything she says!
I mean honestly, if she’s polling so poorly, you don’t have to worry about her winning a primary. She isn’t even polling that great with republicans.

Gallup needs to gallop on down the liberal road.
They just cannot understand that Sarah does not belong to the polls. She only dies politically if people do not talk to their friends and neighbors about her. Fat chance.
Did anybody see or hear about pollsters working the 1.7 million people at the D.C. Tea Party? Wonder why not?
Because Tea Party people don’t give the answers the polls want to hear.
We ain’t in Kansas any more and we ain’t going back. Only question is whether we’re going to Zombieland or Sarahland.
platypus on October 16, 2009 at 9:49 AM
I am thinking Cubachi is right, the numbers will go higher as she gets more exposure and time passes.
In many ways to many people, she’s still mostly ‘unknown,’ in the sense that they only know what the State Run Media Elites have told them about her. I’d bet that upwards of 80% of non-newsjunkies like us could no differentiate between her and Tina Fey. That will change as the Russia-from-my-house idea gets further in the mirror, and we start to see more of Sarah in public.

artist on October 16, 2009 at 9:50 AM
+100!
Seriously, though, her favorable “ratings” for the past 6-7 months have been hovering between 39% to 45%, so this seems within the normal range. When I saw the headline yesterday, I was expecting to see low 30′s; 40/50 can be worked on.
yogi41 on October 16, 2009 at 9:51 AM
I’ll be interested to see what happens after her book comes out.

cs89 on October 16, 2009 at 9:57 AM
What happened to Sarah Palin’s favorability rating?
She became a private citizen. Who cares about the favorability rating of a private citizen and why is it relevant?
Let’s run the poll again in 2011 or 2012 once she decides that she wants to become a politician again, shall we?
Aitch748 on October 16, 2009 at 9:58 AM
I’m not a huge Palin fan myself, but can we stop with the breathless horse race coverage? It’s 2009.
Black Yoshi on October 16, 2009 at 9:59 AM
The resignation is a non-issue.
I would imagine that “Rogue” will have a detailed and lengthy explanation of the thought process behind the resignation, followed up by the media campaign in support of the book. The likes of Huck can either take or leave the explanation, but the meme that the resignation was some spur of the moment whim or that she couldn’t take the heat will be dead as last Tuesday.
Bottom line, Sarah is a step ahead on this issue. The resignation issue will be fielded by her conclusively in the next 60-90 days, well before Huck and his “gamed out” commercials ever see the air.
Nat Hound on October 16, 2009 at 9:59 AM
If these were Barry’s numbers in multiple polls, most of us would be saying he’s almost certainly toast for 2012. I would.
However, polling history like this may be less predictive for a potential presidential candidate. So, maybe Palin can do things to draw new support from moderates and independents. She already has high approval ratings among Republicans.

Key West Reader on October 16, 2009 at 10:02 AM
I still don’t understand that resignation, frankly. She should’ve stuck it out.
changer1701 on October 16, 2009 at 10:02 AM
HotAir posters wonder: Why isn’t the most noteworthy Palin item of the day posted?
CDeb on October 16, 2009 at 10:03 AM
Just goes to show that she can sell all of the books she wants to her hard-core fans, she can campaign for conservative candidates all she wants, give as many speeches as she can fit in, and be adored by a staunch base.
But she still wouldn’t be able to win an election and most Americans still refuse to say they like her. Like Ron Paul, a staunch base willing to pour in money doesn’t mean you can win the election.
Which is fine. I don’t think she has plans to get involved in politics again. I wish her all the best in making as much money and becoming as successful as possible.
amerpundit on October 16, 2009 at 10:03 AM
Gallop is a joke!
ohiobabe on October 16, 2009 at 10:03 AM
If Palin can’t win against a dumbass Alaskan cat lady blogger, what chance does she have against actual politicians?
Speedwagon82 on October 16, 2009 at 10:03 AM
So, despite the headline, she’s actually improving her favorables overall? And this is before the media blitz/interviews/book signings that will ensue when her best-selling book is released. Hmmm.
Would be really nice to see that featured here. For those who complain that all she does is Facebook posts, it’s an actual article that will be published in the Nov. 2 edition of National Review.
I know it’s heresy, but I’m tired of the multiple threads for balloon boy and family. :P

Kirin on October 16, 2009 at 10:04 AM
Way to go AP, like an idiot the first site I go to this morning is HA. And, just like clockwork, your snark Palin post leads the posts. Don’t you usually post later in the day? Just had to get out of bed early this morning for more negative Palin postsing?
I know you’ll think I’m spinning, but this poll is basically a non-story other than to generate more negative headlines. A poll w/ a headline w/ John Edwards?? How obvious is that to try and make a negative headline?
Bottom line, her numbers are virtually unchanged from the last Gallup poll (The MOE on this poll was +/- 4 points and she was at 43 last time). Surprisingly, you amazingly pointed out that this poll is better than the recent other polls.
I could go on about things like she’s only 8 pts behind Zero’s latest Ras approval or that this poll was just adults (not LV) or that she’s been completely out of sight since end of July or that her book is near the top of best sellers list at all retailers… but I don’t want to come across as making excuses or anything.
I will give you this for all the Palin haters, let’s see what happens after the book tour, mid-term campaigning next year and going into the primaries.
BTW, awaiting you to post her latest NRO/FB piece which is what we should really be paying attention to…
davek70 on October 16, 2009 at 10:04 AM
I only wish Obama was a quitter.
ted c on October 16, 2009 at 10:05 AM
Interesting little verbal trick by Allah. He claims the resignation resonates with “voters.” Gallup doesn’t poll “voters,” they poll “adults.” From a polling standpoint, that is a significant distinction that almost always accrues the the detriment of conservatives…
Where is Sarah’s NRO article, Allah?
Nat Hound on October 16, 2009 at 10:06 AM
The “quitter” thing is totally bogus. Once again, the TRUE conservative is held to a higher standard than anyone else. Give me a break Allah! Why are her favorables down? She’s attacked in the MSM (and late-night) every day of the week!
With the possible exception of Rush, she’s the conservative movement’s biggest asset right now. Those who attack he are revealing who they fear the most.
edgehead on October 16, 2009 at 10:06 AM
ahhh Yes. The words of a leader. Thanks Cdeb for the NRO link.
ted c on October 16, 2009 at 10:07 AM
She’s a good looking woman – that’ll alienate all the sloppy fat ho’s in the electorate right there and all the loser beta males with their inferiority complexes. She’s also strongly right wing which’ll slice out any alleged ‘moderates’.
Bottom line she hasn’t got a hope of winning the general. As far as a woman president in the near future Hillary has a better chance ironically because she’s a bit boring and looks like she fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
A highly acute if somewhat sexist analysis.

This was posted on Logistic Monster. It’s an interactive display of where jobs gained and lost – went. It’s incredible. It uses a geographic map and job statistics, you can click on the button on top to see over the course of the last years, where jobs were gained and lost. This isn’t a pretty model.

Keep pokin the Pitbull pundits and giggling like a school girl!
Sarah with a single Facebook post stopped HealthScare in its tracks or it was set to be rammed before the August recess.
Death Panels, something all could understand put Pinnochio back in the box more than anything anyone else has done to date.
Keep pokin the Pitbull and you will find that the puppy has teeth as Pinnochio is starting to!
dhunter on October 16, 2009 at 10:09 AM
I’m pretty sure Beck is a bigger asset at the moment. He’s been exposing major liberal crap and the White House has even set its White House Director of Communications to watch his show.
Liberals still attack George W. Bush. I doubt they see him as a big threat. We haven’t even heard as much as a peep from him since 1/20.
amerpundit on October 16, 2009 at 10:10 AM
Funny you start in on the everybody hates a quitter riff but don’t point out that mid-August, she was the one who got the “death panels” issue out into the public debate.
I’m not a fan of Palin when it comes to running for national office but I think she’s not been treated fairly either. A hostile media, even more hostile un-named McCain staffers who trashed her in the press, no show of support from McCain himself, a constant attempt to discredit her as Governor……
Leave Sarah alone. If she rises to national prominence again you can get back to trashing her as you did during the campaign but, right now, she’s as relevant as Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich.

Well you have to give Gallup creidt for admitting this poll is pure BS. We don’t have an inkling of what the ideological mix of the sampling might have been. Just make a few calls, gather some numbers and then announce to the world that Palin is faltering.
Pretty silly if you ask me.

John Deaux on October 16, 2009 at 10:12 AM
So they disapprove of her because she’s too hot? Not because the narrative successfully spun by the media is she’s a crazy Christian with little intelligence? Awesome. Epic comment, my friend. EPIC.

alliebobbitt on October 16, 2009 at 10:13 AM
How exactly does one win against a blogger? Is there some sort of election or something we should be aware of?
Again, these trolls sponsored through Washington were free under the AK ethics laws to file FOIA’s and complaints to their heart’s content. They could not be stopped – it was a complete and total no-win scenario for Palin.
Think about Rush. They derailed his bid for the Rams by smearing him with untrue charges.
Same thing the other side was going to do to Palin, except they used the AK ethics system as vehicle for the charges. Every charge has to be investigated and process and although they were all proven untrue (even Troopergate in the final analysis), the Dems campaign commercial about Palin’s lack of ethics would write itself.
Palin derailed a no-win scenario. She didn’t walk away unscathed, but she certainly survived to fight another day. As Rush put it, Sarah is “misunderstood and underestimated…”

Why is Gallup doing polls on a Private Citizen?
10-1 Most ‘Moderates’ don’t know anything more about Palin than what the MSM has packaged and spoon fed them.
As per the prior post about Beck mobilizing a huge voting block, wasn’t he a big Palin supporter?
PappaMac on October 16, 2009 at 10:15 AM
Please. Let’s not revert to the same insanity from back during the election, when everyone (myself included) insisted that the polls were just biased and BS and McCain-Barracuda would pull it off in the end.
Let’s face it: The media successfully put the narrative out that she’s a crazy religious fanatic with no brains. People honestly believe she made the “Russia from my house” remark, just like many people believed Reps controlled Congress in 2008.

I actually have a personal anecdote on that mark: I had one idiot co-worker who was happy last November that Democrats had finally captured Congress. Seriously. He also thought Obama was pro-gay marriage.
Don’t assume people are more informed than the polls show. It’s quite possible people are just stupid.

amerpundit on October 16, 2009 at 10:19 AM
First of all, the election is NOT being held today. Second, Obama has been campaigning non-stop for two years, with the MSM fawning over his every word… and he’s at 43%?! Sarah may not be the nominee. Hell, she might not even run. Funny though, this inexperienced “quitter” who was merely the pageant queen governor of a small state is driving much of the debate on the biggest issue if the day – health care.
This ain’t over…

HondaV65 on October 16, 2009 at 10:21 AM
Since we’re speculating…IF this woman decides to run, the media will go into full scale attack mode (again). I don’t think she could win. Maybe as a vp candidate, but not as president. What we really need is someone spectacular, someone with pristine credentials, someone with a military background, someone with character and integrity, someone who is so accomplished and able that not even the media will have anything but praise for. But who is that person? There’s got to be one.
Oh, and someone who can clean up the messes Obama is going to leave.
scalleywag on October 16, 2009 at 10:22 AM
Because that’s a positive article showcasing her knowledge and talent…and AP’s working today.

Darksean on October 16, 2009 at 10:23 AM
With every Palin thread it seems that there are those who just want to shoot the messenger. Instead of denying her bad numbers, why not consider things she can do to change them? How can she alter the impression so many have of her as dim-witted tabloid fodder? That’s not an accurate narrative in my view, but perception is reality. How does she change it? Its been almost a year since McCain lost, and her numbers are still that bad?
changer1701 on October 16, 2009 at 10:23 AM
I sort of think Matthew Continenti’s book is going to be as important as “Rogue” in explaining how the media template for Palin developed. To my mind, (Ziegler’s as well) it all started with Joe Klein’s little demonstrably untrue rant that Brian Williams read verbatim on-air after Palin’s RNC speech. It was all downhill from there.
Hmmmmmm, Brian Williams and Tina Fey have something in common, no?
Nat Hound on October 16, 2009 at 10:23 AM
Allah, I’m asking you again… who would you rather have for a vice president right now– Palin or Biden?
Are you ever going to answer?
Bat Chain Puller on October 16, 2009 at 10:23 AM
First post – best quote.
I wonder how Palin’s favorability ratings would be if one of the top late-night talk show hosts wasn’t berating her on a nightly basis or if 85% of the MSM wasn’t repeating lies and smears against her regularly. Conservatives get pretty good poll numbers, all things considered. Still a negative poll is a negative poll. But as CDeb said, is it that important this far out, or are we that bored?
Anyway, I think her image will improve after the book comes out and she does more press and speeches. The rancor and fury over her is already old hat. Yawn…
And AP, you forgot to add the Palin/Libertarian spin. Come on, don’t slack off!

Well that does it–Gallup has spoken. I am officially revoking my support for Palin based on a handful of people who happened to answer their phones at a particular time.
These polls are nonsense and it just amazes me at how easily some are swayed by them. That kind of herd mentality and collective thinking is what got us Barack Obama in the Oval Office.
If Sarah Palin chooses to run for President I will support her based on her convictions and her platform for returning America to it’s former greatness–not because some stupid poll told me to.
Redneck Woman on October 16, 2009 at 10:26 AM
By all means, guys, please nominate Mrs. Palin for President in 2012. Throw in Rush for VP. There is no bigger political gift you can give us on the left.
Just another useless factoid.

After next week, when Palin goes after NORAD for not shooting down a possible terrorist balloon floating over the US, numbers might change.
Jeff from WI on October 16, 2009 at 10:26 AM
Easy there. I quoted Gallup, who said there data could be biased, or not, maybe, well, they just aren’t sure.
It’s bullcrap, meant to stir up feelings over Palin’s inadequacies. Effin pollsters and media should spend a little more time finding out why Obama has been such a phony, failure and ultimate disaster.
fogw on October 16, 2009 at 10:26 AM
In less than 2 years there will be the money primary where poll numbers will matter as the candidates try to establish their national organizations. Hopefully Palin’s book can help her beyond the base of voters that are already enthusiastic about her.
dedalus on October 16, 2009 at 10:27 AM
It wasn’t a blogger that filed all those ethics complaints, but a billionaire backing the Dems and their attorneys. Try fighting that without money and loads of power. I’m so glad she’s raking in the money and still causing angst to her detractors. As far as I’m concerned whether she runs or not, she’s still a big winner compared to the enormous mess running rampant in Washington.

Many Hot Air readers have a grudge against AP that goes back to the election. He gets a lot of grief for showing bias against Palin, and it’s totally deserved. The “messenger”, when it comes to Palin, is usually the DNC or a turncoat squish like AP who takes potshots at values voters… certainly not in the best interest of the GOP or conservatives or libertarians, so you’re left wondering what his game is. It’s useful to remind readers on every thread about Sarah Palin that this is what Allahpundit does. He enables the DNC.

By the time the 2012 race is really going, Allahpundit will be importing massive amounts of Caribou steaks, mooseburgers, Pacific salmon and Alaskan King Crab while changing his name to Sarahpundit.
Resistance is futile.

It’s beginning to look like Allah is becoming a troll on his own site about Palin.

He did the same with Fred Thompson during the primary. While suggesting that Fred was right on most issues, he bashed him day after day.

Yeah, a lot of us were saying the same thing about Teleprompter Jesus in 2007.

WhAhere’s Ed? I hate when he’s off in the morning. We have to deal with AP’s predictable negative Palin, atheist, RINO threads. No thanks.

You’re visiting from an alternate reality then, because it’s a never-ending stream like one of those cherub-peeing-in-a-pond statues. The religion stuff is mostly shrugged off with a good-natured chuckle, because Christians are tolerant, for the most part. But when it comes to Palin, this is a woman who was slandered, had her life torn apart, had her children attacked in one of the most viciously personal attacks against a woman or politician to date. That is unforgivable, and participating in this should earn you heaps of scorn.

A 9:41 posting from Allahpundit?
As others have suggested, I’ll take her over Obama and his radical administration any day.
She left an office because she and her state were getting crucified. Obama’s crucifying our country.
Not a tough choice.

In a population of 300-ish million, a sample of just over 1000 souls seems hardly representative. I notice they never call seem to call me or anyone I know. Just sayin’.
Money shot.
