Ninety-one percent (91%) of Republicans have a favorable view of Palin, including 65% who say their view is Very Favorable. Only eight percent (8%) have an unfavorable view of her, including three percent (3%) Very Unfavorable
Republicans are closely divided over the two most important issues in the next presidential election: 31% say economic issues, 30% say national security. Fifteen percent (15%) list fiscal issues, followed by cultural issues (12%) and domestic issues (6%). Five percent (5%) are undecided. Palin is overwhelmingly the top choice for 2012 among voters in all these categories.

Bush received 62,000,000 votes in 2004 and McCain received 57,000,000 in 2008. I would guess that McCain lost indepenedent voters and a small number of Republicans in 2008...
When 31 percent of your own voters don't like you, you've got trouble.
I have no doubt that a significant portion of the knuckle-dragging right loves Caribou Barbie. I'm sure she's going to run in 2012. Given the pathetic group of potential Republican candidates, I'm sure she'll win a few primaries.
However, I suspect Mitt Romney will be the 2012 nonimee.....that would be bad news for Obama, since Romney can morph back into his Massachusetts past to make himself palatable to independents.

Sixty-nine percent (69%) of Republican voters say Alaska Governor Sarah Palin helped John McCain’s bid for the presidency, even as news reports surface that some McCain staffers think she was a liability.
