More than seven in 10 Americans think Sarah Palin is not qualified to be president, according to a new national poll.

Seventy-one percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Wednesday morning believe the former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee is not qualified to be president, with 29 percent saying she does have the credentials to serve in the White House...

Polling Director Keating Holland sadi, "Her biggest Achilles heel is the number who think she is not qualified to be President. Those numbers are similar to what Dan Quayle got in 1993, when only 23 percent thought he was ready for the White House."...

In a very early look at the next race for the White House, the survey indicates that nearly one in three Republican voters, 32 percent, say they would be most likely to support former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee in a hypothetical battle for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination, with Palin seven points back at 25 percent, and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney at 21 percent. Five percent said they would back Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, with one in ten suggesting they would support some one else.

"Huckabee appears to have more support among Republicans than Palin and her unfavorable rating among all Americans is twice as high as Huckabee's," Holland says. "Palin may attract a lot of attention but the GOP may be looking elsewhere for their frontrunner."...

The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll was conducted October 16-18, with 1,038 adult Americans questioned by telephone. The survey's sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points for all respondents and plus or minus 4.5 percentage points for questions asked only of Republicans.
Registered Republicans on Mil.Com:

Do you prefer Huckabee to Palin as your party's next Presidential candidate?

LOL, who really cares. Why are people still stuck on Palin?

Who cares what the Republicans think, they don't have any power.

I am so done with BOTH parties and their hypocrisy.

I will support a person that holds 80% of my beliefs. NONE of the above do soooo.

Who cares?

I think Huckabee is the best choice based solely on the fact that he has experience, past Governor, which was more than Obama. He seems fair and honest, and religious, which is a diminishing factor each day in this country. Of course I won't vote for any SOB ever again in this country.

Does the world really need more religious nutters in positions of ultimate power?

Can we not have someone like Reagan who paid lip service to the god botherers but didn't feel the need to make an ostentatious trip to church every Sunday?

Palin is too much of a liability to wrestle the WH back into GOP hands. She just doesn't have the carisma. Huckabee, maybe, but I'm waiting on a smooth talking, south side Chitown, promising everything Republican born in Chile to emerge. Seems that is the type american people fall in love with and vote for. Big Grin

Even IF Palin puts an (I) or a (C) next to her name to run she will get my vote, she is strong, charismatic, and has true Conservative principals which is truly what we need to fix our DEBT if it is even possible at this point...She would NEVER apologize for America to boot! Beer

I hate women? How so? So that means that 79% of Americans hate women? Man you got a few loose screws.

I've seen Mike Huckabee several times on Fox News and can honestly say, "I like Mike."

"I wish we would all remember that being American is not just about the freedom we have; it is about those who gave it to us."

Better to have people who actually care about debt on us and our future generations vs that of special interest and political payoffs at the taxpayer expense that we have now combined with failure to listen to your own appointed generals in a war that you say we must win! Popcorn

What woman capable of the job are you talking about? I thought the subject was Ms. Palin, you remember the person who QUITE her job as Gov. because people (mostly members of her own party in her state) were being mean to her. Big Grin

If Huckleberry is the only other choice, I don't see much hope for a strong conservative party. Come on, people. Isn't there anyone out there? Anyone?

The GOP needs somebody who's not divisive, who has some cred, and who can actually understand economics, strategic importances, constitutional law, and domestic issues (real domestic issues, not made up crap like abortion, stem cells, death panels, 'crusades', etc. which are invented to garner votes and nothing else).

For the last forty years the GOP has been running a freak show with actors and religious nuts campaigning and pulling tricks out of a hat. We need an honest worker, possibly an academic; somebody smart, quick, and young.

Good point at least Palin ran a town and a State before running for VP.

What did BHO ever run before making a speech at a convention?

Ms Palin also ran AWAY from her job as Gov once it became either to hard (to distracting) or to inconvienient depending on which of her explainations you accept.
Personally I think the real reason she left her job as Gov was she saw an opportunity to make a LOT of money off of the current Repub base.

The Christian right will NEVER accept a Mormon as the party canidate for Pres and they have enough control of the Repub party to make sure it does not happen.

If that's true, then good for her. Everyone deserves to make alittle money in this world every once in awhile.

So, based on what I have read, the Republicans here on Mil.com don't agree with the majority of the other Republicans in the U.S. - their love of Sarah would prevent them from agreeing with the majority of their own party and they would write Sarah in on the ballot rather than vote for Huckabee if Huckabee got the Republican nomination.

That, of course, will guarantee four more years of Obama as president.

Possibly true, she might not apologize. She certainly had no problem criticizing America in her speech in Hong Kong, though. "http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1925657,00.html" I guess criticizing the U.S. on foreign soil is only a bad thing when liberals do it.

You mean like the “Bridge to Nowhere” that she was all for, until it became an albatross around her neck and she started backpedalling so fast I’m surprised she didn’t sue the public for whiplash! As far as I know she never did give the money back on it.

And what was that, $100-200 thousand for clothes for her and her family while they were campaigning? A couple dozen pairs of silk boxers for her hubby, you know, the one who wants to succeed from the Union!

And you really consider her fiscally responsible?
