Palin's approval numbers in freefall - down 32 points in one year.
New poll shows slump in Palin's popularity among Alaskans
By Sean Cockerham
Anchorage Daily News

ANCHORAGE — A new poll from Hays Research in Anchorage says Gov. Sarah Palin now has 54 percent positive and 41. 6 percent negative rating in Alaska.

That's a dramatic change from the 86 percent positive and just 9 percent negative Hays reported in a poll on Palin almost exactly a year ago. It's also down from a survey taken six weeks earlier.

The new survey was a statewide poll of 400 people on May 4-5.

That’s a smaller sample size than some statewide polls but the same as earlier Hays polls that have tracked Palin over time. Margin of error is listed at 4.9 percent.

20. the senate seat is up in 2010 right?
And I assume that's when Caribou Barbie will run for re-election for Governor.

Can you run twice on the same ballot for statewide office in Alaska?

7. I look at the clips of Palin...
...and it makes me terrified for our country. How in the world was there a contingent
of people who actually took her seriously?

It's so frickin frightening.

There are conservatives that I disagree with philosophically. I have no problem with that.

It was her complete stupidity. She is such a simpleton and she had no experience and she lacked
the intelligence to get up to speed.

It's absolutely terrifying that Palin was ever taken seriously as a vp candidate.

It boggles the mind.

8. ITA. How sad that the 'pukes value simple mindedness and shun higher education. Obama was mocked
for his Harvard education, Palin was admired for being an admitted "Joe Six Pack" who barely eeked out a D average in six years at four different universities.

It boggles the mind that almost half of this country finds that acceptable and will support someone who literally can't put together a coherent sentence after several years in public life.

9. Pretty lousy poll, but still pretty damn funny
I could see her losing in 2010. I think she is running for re-election. It would be a hoot to see her go off the radar in some respects, but she is Comedy Gold.
