Post-ABC poll shows Sarah Palin losing more ground among Republicans – The Washington Post

Damn…

I can’t tell you how much I want her to run for President and be the GOP nominee…

It would assure President Obama’s re-election and might let the Dems retake the House…

And it would destroy the Republican Party for the foreseeable future…

And be entertaining as hell…

But I knew her shelf life was limited.  Even the rabid GOP Tea Partiers can only take so much of her….

But there is hope she will recover- or Michelle Bachmann will succeed her in the Crazy, Intellectually Challenged GOP Female Candidate Slot…

Sarah Palin’s ratings within the Republican Party are slumping, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll, a potentially troubling sign for the former Alaska governor as she weighs whether to enter the 2012 presidential race.

For the first time in Post-ABC News polling, fewer than six in 10 Republicans and GOP-leaning independents see Palin in a favorable light, down from a stratospheric 88 percent in the days after the 2008 Republican National Convention and 70 percent as recently as October.

In one sense, the poll still finds Palin near the top of a list of eight potential contenders for the GOP nomination. The former vice presidential candidate scores a 58 percent favorable rating, close to the 61 percent for former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee and 60 percent for former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, and better than the 55 percent that onetime House speaker Newt Gingrich (Ga.) received.

But Palin’s unfavorable numbers are significantly higher than they are for any of these possible competitors. Fully 37 percent of all Republicans and GOP-leaning independents now hold a negative view of her, a new high.
