Sarah Palin’s sky high approval numbers were much touted during the general election last year but her numbers in Alaska have plummeted from May 2008. The former vice presidential candidate was on the rise when the fledgling McCain campaign added her to the ticket but her star has since dimmed.
A new poll shows that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s popularity among Alaskans has plummeted in a year’s time. According to the poll conducted by Hays Research, about 54% of Alaskans have a “very positive” or “somewhat positive” view of the Republican governor.
Meanwhile, about 41.6% say they have a “somewhat negative” or “very negative” view of the former vice presidential nominee, according to the poll.
Compare that with numbers from May 2008 from the same group, when about 86% of those polled said they had a “very favorable” or “somewhat favorable” opinion of Palin. About 9% said they had either a “somewhat unfavorable” or “very unfavorable” view of the governor.
Something to say?
