New Poll Shows Widespread Support for 2012 Palin Presidential Run

I agree 1000%, she should run in 20012. As a matter of fact I don't think any other republican should run against her. That way Obama will get his two terms as president and the country will get back on track.

You would never know with how the media treats her. As the reality sets in and Obama's numbers come down, I think she will have a better chance of winning. However I don't think Palin would be my first pick for 2012, I would like to see someone more like Ron Paul in Office, he takes the Constitution a lot more seriously like the rest of our politicians should be doing.

Go Romney---Go Palin! I'll vote for either one before I vote the Obamna ticket. I'll be so glad when his term is up. I've had enough of Obama this, Obama that. GROAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Palin could help the Republican party the most by using her popularity to raise money and get attention for some other Republican candidate in the 2012 election.

I hope she does run in 2012, if I am still here I will vote for her, I have always believed that she is what Washington needed, to straighten them out, she is not one to think of the job as a popularity contest, as i think Obama looks at it, nor is she power hungry which we all know Obama is. She is there to work for the American people. That would be some thing Washington wouldn't be used to, or approve of. We need to pay more attention to what is going on and make sure that we imform our senators and representives of how we feel about certain bills they are trying to pass. I think too many of us just sit back and don't take an active part in letting our senators know how we feel and that is how they get to pass the bills and laws that they do, no one cares until it is done. The media will always go after her as they are afraid of her. She is running close in that poll,a nd the more damage Obama does to this country over the next 3 and a half years the more the people will want someone like her in office.

The real story is desite all the recent Obama bashing he is still ahead in 2012, even in the RASMUSSEN Poll!

I do NOT think the mainstream media is savvy at all! I lost all respect for them when I continuously see how blatantly they show Obama as some kind of demi-god who can do no wrong!

I am waiting a few months when Obama will be further down. I did hate that witch hunt against Sarah Palin and how the media praised Obama as the savior of mankind, the man on whom the world rotated, the sun that shines in the sky. Right now Obama still has his minions and his popularity, but wait a few months after the recession deepens and anyone else would look good. That 42 percent that Palin gets might increase gradually and would be a good contender for the presidency.

One thing I'm curious about with this "feud" between Palin and the media; how would a President Palin deal with the press? Would she speak only to Fox News reporters and maybe Rush Limbaugh? Seriously, I sometimes feel like I'm bashing my head against a brick wall whenever a discussion about Palin comes up. I DON'T "hate" her, as I've said many times. I don't find her particularly likable and I don't think I could trust her but it isn't the media that shaped my opinion. Did the media somehow edit her resignation speech to make it seem that she was barely coherent or is it just those of us who saw it that way are somehow lacking? I tend to believe that if she continues to attack the media and play the victim that will cause more of a backlash against her. Sure, she's been made fun of and there have been unfair stories told and written about her. Do you really think she's the first or only political figure this has happened to? I'm probably just getting myself into more trouble here with Palin fans so I'd better quit while I'm ahead...or not (ahead, that is!)...lol! I'd just like to add that I don't think her support is or will ever be "widespread" enough for her to win a national election. Could she win the GOP nomination? Possibly but that's not for me to say. In my opinion she doesn't have what it takes to be President and that isn't necessarily an "attack" because there are very few people who do! Annie

I actually like Palin and what she stands for. I think she'd be a strong runner and I think that she could actually win in 2012 if she worked hard at it. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

Well I don't think Palin has much of a chance at a presidential run after leaving her job with over a year left. I do think that Republicans are well in line to win the next election though. It's really just a matter of who gets the primary win. I think Romney would mop the floor with Obama if the economy is still struggling in 2012. I actually think Romney would have won this year if he'd won in the primaries because he clearly has a better business background and more knowledge about the economy than Obama. Still, we really have no idea who will surface in the next three years. At this point 4 years ago Rudy Giuliani was the clear front runner for the 2008 election and Obama had just finished winning a virtually unopposed senate election after using loopholes to prevent other democrats from running against him in the primaries.

I personally hope that Palin doesn't run in 2012. Romney would be my choice at this point in time but then who knows who will pop up in the next 3 years. Schwarznegger could run if you don't have to produce a legal US birth certificate - LOL

This is How the thinking is in Washington as soon as someone wins the American Presidency instead of concentrating on getting things done and done properly as Possible with togetherness and in a Bi-Party fashion and doing things that brings All Americans together as a Nation of People and all who stands for what She truly Is about and all about the Business and this is time for serious business since the Changing of the Presidency and even before then. Just because some want this current Presidency to fail all Americans and True Americans do not want to see that happen one of the reason's is because they know That at anytime an American Presidency fails the entire Nation failed then we can Forget All the talk about winning the war at home or abroad. Because with that kind of Behavior it only helps and Empower America's true Enemies can't you see or hear who your true enemies are? Well anyone with that kind of behavioral thinking and doing are having and Needing More than a Dr. Phil Moment. So what's the point the point is this kind of thinking is destructive and self Destructive It can only boil down to you are your own worst enemy therefore Defeating all your purposes for doing so and at the same time any intended Purposes in the future so better luck with that the next time. Are You saying That Sarah Palin could withstand all this that has been going on in the Whitehouse and World Politics and take care of a big family life all at the same time? If that is the case the Sarah Palin is tough and deserve to be our commander and chief because the current commander and chief has not gotten it done from what the statistics and polls are saying right now. Only thing I have notice about his Presidency is the first lady and him with a lot of hair turning grayer and grayer at a rapid pace now that is the race that is interesting to me no offense but I want to know will he have a head full of gray from the time he took office or will he have the economy get betting first or will his hair be completely gray in the next three months?

I am from Alaska, and have had the priveledge of voting for Sarah twice in the past, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. She is a smart woman who doesn't play the politics game. She does what is best for the people. People suddenly started realizing that maybe she wasn't this big idiot when she spoke out against Obamas health care fiasco. I am happy that the rest of the nation is finally starting to see that she has a good head on her shoulders. No, she wasn't raised in politics, and says some funny things that are miscronstrued as her babbling. But how would normal people sound if they suddenly had to take the stage on a national spotlight. I hope she runs in 2012, cause she's got my vote!
