Palin's Approval Rating ?

Question

Republicans are going on and on about how Sara Palin has an 80% approval rating and that she is the the most popular governor in America.

Is that really a valid argument?

1.) Sara Palin is governor of the 48th smallest state in the Union in terms of population.

2.) Sara Palin has been governor of her state for less than two years.

3.) Does just because Bush had a 92% approval rating during one time in his presidency mean that we should of re-elcted him and that he was a good president?

Answer 1

Obama has never been Governor and was not much an excuse for a Senator.

In the Senate, Obama never once convened either of the two Senate Sub Committees he was Chairman of.

"I didn't have time" Obama said in response to the question about his poor Senate performance.

If Obama can't handle the Senate, Obama certainly can't handle the White House.

Gov. Palin is far more qualified than Obama to be President of the United States.  

Answer 2

How can she get an approval rating? What's there to approve of? by a Per Capita count she is not the most popular governor. She has no foreign policy experience. No Large scale governing experience.

She's a BEAUTY QUEEN. Pure and simple. One thing is for sure - McCain just locked up the NASCAR vote!

Answer 3

It's no longer 80% - it's down to half now for Sarah.  Things are pretty tough in this state.

Very simple answer to this question. One candidate chose a man who seems to have a strong head on his shoulders. Of course, time well tell whether or not the "special interest" lobby groups get to these guys and corrupt them beyond the point of return.

The other candidate chose a woman to help win the female vote.

The real people in charge don't like blacks or women being in charge.

See? Simple answer.

Answer 4

Actually that 80% was when she 1st went into office. Now it's more like 60% (per Fox news Republicans!) and the unemployment rate in Alaska is horrible. Sounds like more of the same to me.

Answer 5

The real news is Obama, Biden, and McCain are all in Congress with a 9% approval. Bush is more popular than any of them

Answer 6

this woman is in no WAY SHAPE OR FORM ready to be VP

how does alaska even com-pair to the lower 48???

Answer 7

Irelevant in my opinion

Answer 8

I would call giving your state a budget surplus in such a short time a remarkable achievement regardless of the size of the state..

Answer 9

Go put on your Bro's Before Ho's t shirt.  Nothing will stop her,sexist.

Answer 10

It is not the only reason to vote for her there are many good reasons but a good approval rating by the people that know her best is a good thing.  She will make a great VP and I hope one day the first female President. From the sexism exhibited by the DNC, Obama, and his liberal supporters it is clear a Democratic female President will never happen.

Answer 11

An Approval rating of 80% of her constituents is outstanding and relevant.

Your three points are not relevant though.

Answer 12

Her approval rating is based on the people she governs and if you want to go by who you govern then why is the dem. controlled congress at 18%? BTW it is lower than Bush's.

Unless you are a resident of Alaska I doubt your opinion of her matters much anyways.

Answer 13

keep this in mind, you vote for president not v.p.

Answer 14

Yep, all 28 villages agree... a big part is the $1500+ annual dividend payment they recieve plus and additional $1500+ that comes from a trust funded by oil sales.

NOW I see why he picked her, she's for drilling - with the support of the residents who support the money they get from allowing it!

Answer 15

You're running a dude  for president with a thin resume.  WTF is your argument.  Obamabot=Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
