I'm no Sarah Palin fan by a longshot, but to think that a Republican governor with an approval rating in the mid-60's in a state that's reliably red and has brought the only notable (non-scandal) national attention ever by a politician in her state is in serious jeopardy of losing in a re-election bid is asinine. Some of you people would lick your own ass if Obama told you it was candy, I swear.
....just can't resist a jab at Julian about this one anymore.
http://www.themudflats.net/2009/07/30/palins-approval-rating-in-alaska-goes-negative/The latest Palin poll numbers are out. Oh, it looks like those halcyon days of the 89% approval ratings are a thing of the past. Now we can say that more Alaskans disapprove of the ex-almost-one-term-governor than approve of her.
And the Approval Index (Very Positive minus Very Negative) is now -1.2
