Many Republicans Would Vote for Obama Over Palin

[wyldwolf]

A new Public Policy Polling survey has some interesting findings concerning Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R): While 76% of Republican voters have a favorable opinion of her, 21% say they would rather vote for President Obama if she became the Republican party presidential nominee in 2012.

In a head-to-head match up, Obama would beat Palin, 53% to 41%.

The survey also shows Obama beating Mike Huckabee, 49% to 42%, Newt Gingrich, 52% to 39%, and Mitt Romney, 50% to 39%.

1. Yeah! They're not ALL stupid!

2. Huck peforms the best?

Wow...didn't expect that.

5. I think that's more of

a result of a likability factor rather than on policy positions. I doubt that many people really know how far right Huckabee really is. He comes across as a pleasant, amusing guy. Some people still vote on the "Who would you like to have a beer with" criteria.

Palin, Romney, Newt are all mean spritited and snarky. That turns a lot of people off right there.

3. It's about patriotism

The notion that anybody could vote against the President of the United States in a time of war is just incomprehensible to me.

4. more reasons to root for Palin not to totally self immolate

before 2012. We need her in the GOP race.

6. Wow

I can't beleive a republican would vote Obama let alone 21% over palin. That's very encouraging.

7. I now like Republicans 21% more. nt

[Uzybone]

8. 0% x 21% = 0%

[ZombieHorde]

9. Hehe.

[Clio the Leo]

10. But the Obamas are so boring...

... with all of their Beaver Cleaver wholesomeness.

The Palin's are much more entertaining ...... lawyers! the boy has lawyered up! "GIMME BACK MY BABY YOU WITCH!" :-)

12. 21% apparently represent the anti-backwash faction of the GOP. nt

13. I find it hard to believe that Palin would even get 41% of the vote.
