Via CNN’s Political Ticker: CNN Poll: 7 in 10 say Palin not qualified to be president
Seventy-one percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Wednesday morning believe the former Alaska governor and 2024 GOP vice presidential nominee is not qualified to be president, with 29 percent saying she does have the credentials to serve in the White House. Republicans appear split, with 52 percent saying she’s qualified and 47 percent disagreeing with that view.The poll indicates that about half of the country, 51 percent, has an unfavorable view of Palin, with 42 percent seeing her in a positive light.
None of this should be especially surprising. I continue to think, however, that Palin has presidential aspirations and will not be deterred by such numbers. After all, CNN sponsored the poll, so it must be biased, right?
Or, perhaps, she will focus solely on the positive numbers:
Nearly two-thirds of those questioned say Palin’s not a typical politician, and feel she’s a good role model for women. Fifty-six percent add that Palin cares about people, and a similar amount think she’s honest and trustworthy.
Info on the poll itself:
The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll was conducted October 16-18, with 1,038 adult Americans questioned by telephone. The survey’s sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points for all respondents and plus or minus 4.5 percentage points for questions asked only of Republicans.Sphere: Related Content
