A new CBS poll (pdf) shows a resounding 52%-24% of Americans think Sarah Palin resigned to further her political career and not to better Alaska, as she's claimed.
Additionally, a full 51% of Republicans don't think she has the ability to be an effective President. Only 33% do.
The breakdown:
a. 36% of Republicans think she resigned to further her career; 31% for Alaska's sake.
b. 52% of independents think she resigned to further her career; only 22% for Alaska's sake.
c. Only 23% of American voters hold a favorable view of Palin; 37% view her unfavorably, and 39% are undecided. A full 45% of Republicans are either undecided about Palin or haven't heard enough about her to form an opinion.
d. 65% of Americans doubt that Palin would be an effective President, while only 22% believe she would be.
Notes: Republican incredulity about Palin's ability to handle the job is surprisingly high, and suggest that her popularity does not necessarily inspire great trust.

nothing too surprising about the ability of her being an effective president. usually candidates bump those numbers up by running competitive campaigns (i.e. obama) something she has yet to do.
what is surprising is that 39% are undecided about her. really? thats a huge number. could be a good sign or bad sign. perhaps her resignation removed the partisans on both sides who favour/unfavour her based purely on being a republican.
Come on it is CBS.
just wait till she gets into the debates and wins iowa
obama had the same kind of numbers back then.
1.book deal,op-ed's, etc
2.out raise romney in funds.
3. the 2012 debates
4.win iowa
If she can win Iowa she will be unstopable.
23% of American voters hold a favorable view of Palin; 37% view her unfavorably, and 39% are undecided.
WTF? those numbers don't make sense.
how can 39% be undecided?
this poll is a joke.
Palin was never presidential material and lecturing Obama on energy is a real joke. Why not see her for what she is. There are interesting related posts at http://iamsoannoyed.com/?page_id=588
