It shows her positive rating in Alaska at 55% among adults, up eight points from what this pollster showed as Palin’s positive rating in late July. My snarkish title is due to the fact that this pollster actually put forward a poll conducted on November 2, 2008 purportedly showing the McCain/Palin ticket leading the Obama/Biden ticket in Alaska by a minuscule margin of 48.3%-44.6%. McCain/Palin ended up winning 59.42% of the vote compared to 37.89% for Obama/Biden in Alaska two days after this poll was conducted. I think it’s fair to say Hays was just a little off.
Anyway, this one seems reasonable (even Democracy Corps (D) gets one right once in awhile) considering that recent polls from CNN/Opinion Research Corporation and Fox News/Opinion Dynamics also showed her favorable rating up seven and nine points, respectively, from what they showed for her favorable rating in July.
