Sorry, Sarah. A new poll shows President Obama beating Mama Grizzly in her homestate. When asked if they preferred Obama or Palin, 42% of responders leaned towards Obama, while only 36% chose Palin. Of those who preferred Obama, 35% said they felt strongly about their choice. 24% felt similarly about Palin. Debunking any accusations of a liberal survey bias, the Anchorage Daily News reported that conservative radio host Mike Porcaro paid for the poll. "Sarah Palin showcases her Alaska roots at every opportunity, but the surprising reality is she has become highly unpopular in her home state,” Porcaro said in an emailed statement." The poll spells bad news for Palin, who once said, "I love this state like I love my family." The results also comes in the wake of Bristol Palin's cryptic announcement on Tuesday's Fox and Friends that her mother "definitely knows" whether or not she will be running for president in 2012. www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/28/obama-palin-alaska-poll_n_886429.html |

Margin of error= 5% - 6% so they tied and when Sarah announces she is a candidate she will surely get a bump in the polls..

I used to like her... breath of fresh air... then she resigned as governor. She had made a commitment to her state... then she broke it. I don't think I can get past that one. |

I would imagine that some Alaskans are still disappointed that Sarah Palin resigned her governorship before her term had ended... and that this is reflected in the poll results.

I like Palin. And, i dont' like the thread. I hope it is censored. It is very offensive and upsetting and getting my gym shorts in a knot.  Not to worry in a head to head debate Sarah said she would beat Obama... |

Last I checked, I was white... I am a conservative... now "intelligent" may be debatable... but I am not offended by a poll nor by a website publishing it. Guess we can agree to disagree?  |

I would like to say I am an intelligent, white, conservative male but I would have that comment deleted for posting misstatements again..  Or that would give intelligent, white, conservative males a bad name and they may not be too happy with that.. |

Or maybe that comment was mean facetiously and I didn't catch it... but the crazy old aunt still has freedom of speech, no? |

42% of responders leaned towards Obama, while only 36% chose Palin. Margin of error= 5% - 6% so they tied and when Sarah announces she is a candidate she will surely get a bump in the polls.. A survey of 500 likely voters in Alaska were asked who they would vote for in a hypothetical election between Barack Obama and Sarah Palin. This survey had a sample size of n=500 and a margin of error of +/- 4.4%. Likely voters were surveyed in a live telephone interview, and were chosen from a database of Alaskan households with a member who has voted in at least two of the last four statewide elections. A more detailed methodology can be found below the survey results on this page. |

Which says the Poll Obama beats Palin in Alaska is worthless. When Alaskans go to the polls to vote for a republican instead of Obama is the only poll that counts for Alaskans...and Palin may NOT even be on the ballot..

Palin: No Decision about Presidential Bid
Tuesday, June 28, 2011 07:18 PM
By:
PELLA, Iowa (AP) — Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says she's still thinking about whether to run for president and is dismissing comments from her daughter that she's made up her mind.
Palin spoke with reporters Tuesday in the small Iowa town of Pella, where she and her husband are attending the first public screening of a film about her rise in politics called "The Undefeated."
A throng of supporters chanted her name and urged her to run for president outside the Pella Opera House, where roughly 350 people packed the theater.
Her daughter, Bristol, said during a television interview earlier Tuesday that her mother had made up her mind.
But Palin says that's inaccurate. She says deciding to run for president is a "tough decision" and she's not ready to announce her intentions.

And that is the beauty of facts. Here's the actual question that was asked: "Although it is some time from now, thinking about the election for President of the United States next year, if the election were held today and the candidates were Democrat Barack Obama or Republican Sarah Palin, for whom would you vote or are you undecided?" And the results: Obama Strong 34% Obama Not so strong 6% Undecided - Lean Obama 2% Palin Strong 25% Palin Not so strong 6% Undecided - Lean Palin 5% Other Candidate 7% Undecided / Don’t Know 16% in actual number of people, that translates to Obama Strong 170 Obama Not so strong 30 Undecided - Lean Obama 10 Palin Strong 125 Palin Not so strong 30 Undecided - Lean Palin 25 Other Candidate 35 Undecided / Don’t Know 80 So rewritten.. "A new poll shows President Obama beating Mama Grizzly in her homestate. When asked if they preferred Obama or Palin, 200 of responders leaned towards Obama, while only 155 chose Palin. Not quite as impressive as "Poll: Obama Beats Palin In Alaska"... see... let the crazy old aunt talk, so more people can see how crazy she is  |

Hays Research Group, LLC? 200 respondents? Puh-Leeze.
What's interesting is that the real story is that Obama can't even eek out a 10 point lead in a "Hays Research Group, LLC" poll against a non-candidate. Wonder how he's doing against Michelle Bachmann in Minnesota?
We'll have to get "Hays Research Group, LLC" down there to poll 200 MN stat!

FYI....I borrowed that expression about the ' crazy old aunt ' from Ross Perot who used it a lot when he debated Al Gore..
