Sarah Palin = Nancy Pelosi

Interesting stuff from our friends at “The Fix” today:

Sarah Palin’s unfavorable rating has spiked to a new high, adding further fuel to the argument that her presidential campaign may be doomed before it begins. A new Bloomberg poll shows the former Alaska governor is now viewed unfavorably by 60 percent of American adults. That’s higher than any other poll has shown, but it’s not even the entire picture.

Of that 60 percent, nearly two-thirds – 38 percent of all adults – say they view the former GOP vice presidential nominee “very unfavorably.” No other politicians tested even comes close, including President Obama (22 percent). What’s more, Palin’s unfavorable rating is more than twice as high as her favorable rating, which rests at just 28 percent. Another 12 percent aren’t sure how they feel about her.

The poll follows a long and continuous trend in which, as the presidential race nears, people gradually find that they like Palin less and less.

In fact, the numbers are starting to look a lot like someone else’s: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

Except that they are worse.

We’ve always doubted whether or not Palin would really run for President anyway, given that she makes much more money running around the country giving speeches to Tea Party groups. But these numbers show that the potential of Palin as a politician are rapidly coming to a close (if they hadn’t already).

His unfavorables are pretty high, too. Looks like he’ll run, though. Unfavorable ratings are not very helpful at this point. For one thing, the challenger has to show the incumbent should be thrown out, hence a Gessler. It’s not like he had good references.

  have a snowballs’ chance in Hell of being the Republican nominee, much less the next POTUS. He’s just pulling a Palin…you know, milking the right wing money machine.

  High unfavorables means you’re controversial, means the wackos who love you really love you, means you’re still famous enough to make lots of money. As long as that name recognition stays high, what does she care?

    Egomaniacs often delude themselves and she truly strikes me as an egomaniac.

But what about the Mama Grizzlies!?!? Where do the Mama Grizzlies stand?

  Or if this winter has been easy enough and they’re out and about, they are still out of TV and cell range.
  
  Odd question… 😉
