With an 80% approval rating in her own state, isn't Palin already more popular than Bush, and Congress?

Question

just for te record, Polar bears are actually pretty scarce in Alaaska, if you really want to see one, the Zoo in Anchorage might be the best place to look. Black bears and brown bears, are abundant in Alaska though...

Kodiak Bears might outnumber Polar bears in Alaska.

Answer 1

The key phrase here is "in her own state". Outside of that, she's as familiar and popular as the lone girl in school no one knows.

Answer 2

Great approval ratings... in a state comprise mostly of villages. Total poluation the size of Columbus, OH.

That's a real diverse group I hear... NOT!

Answer 3

Yes she is!  She sold the jet that her predecessor had on ebay.  Gave the back more money to the tax payers.  

Answer 4

Yes, by doing things like taking an expensive leer jet that no one in Alaska's government needed when she was voted in and putting it on Ebay and selling it.  Then put the money back into Alaska's citizens pockets.  You darn right!

Edit:  Sorry R&S should have read yours first.  Did not mean to copy, but great answer!  =)

Answer 5

Alaskans who approve = 0.80 * 683478 = 546,782

Americans who approve = 546,782 / 304,995,000 = 0.001793 = 0.18%

I think that is higher than Bush!

Answer 6

Since Obama, Biden, and McCain are all in Congress, Bush is more popular than any of them

Answer 7

Sure if you compare 1500 hicks (including the polar bears)  to 40 million Americans.

Answer 8

By 4X at least.

Dems are terrified of her as a VP candidate.

It shows in what you see here on YA. They've attacked everything from her looks to her youngest child.

Pathetic.

Answer 9

What did she do to upset the other 20%

Answer 10

No.

You have to consider, the creepy old men that think she's pretty, therefore, No.

Answer 11

She is also popular with her clients:

Answer 12

A milf is more popular than a bush

Answer 13

Alaska is the smallest state in the Union, thus higher approval statistics are easier to get.

Answer 14

She is handing out money up there...of course she is popular.  

Answer 15

Alaska is a tiny state in comparison

Answer 16

there are more caribou in Alaska than there are people  

Answer 17

She may be the most popular politician in America.

Answer 18

how many people live in Alaska??

Answer 19

If I'd give her a rim job then I would definitely give her my vote!

Answer 20

Yes she kicks butt.

McCain/Palin08!!!

Answer 21

Absolutely not.  I wouldn't let her run my car.  Forget about me supporting the prospect of her possibly running the country.

Answer 22

People have to know her first and if the RNC gets postponed (because the media will either not really cover the RNC or put images of any hurricane disaster along side the RNC images) because of the hurricane(s) then people will probably not get to know her before the election.

Answer 23

you bet ye, she may as well enjoy it while it lasts

Answer 24

They pay their voters, don't they? Of course she's popular, but you've got to remember she comes from a nothing state.  

Answer 25

I don't care

Answer 26

um no, once she gets an 80% approval rating from the whole nation, then she will be more popular than bush and congress. you cant trust just one silly state to know if she's good

Answer 27

what mccain did is so lame

Answer 28

Nope.  80% of Alaskans is still less than 5% of Americans.  Congress is still more popular.  Unless she made up ground in the day since anyone outside of Alaska heard of her.
