A Rassmusen Poll found the following today:
“Forty percent (40%) of Republican voters nationwide say Sarah Palin’s decision to resign as governor of Alaska hurts her chances of winning the party’s presidential nomination in 2012. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of GOP voters finds that (24%) believe Palin’s resignation helps her chances of winning the Republican nomination, while 28% say it will have no impact on the race.”
So why does the headline read:
“40% of GOP Voters Say Resignation Hurts Palin’s Chances in 2012”
So the headline can be misleading because while 40% of Republicans believe that Sarah Palin’s decision hurt her for 2012 presidential run, THE MAJOR OF REPUBLICANS DO NOT AGREE! If you combine the 24% who believes it “helps” her with the 28% who think it will have no impact, we have 52% of Republicans WHO DO NOT BELIEVE THAT SARAH PALIN’S DECISION WILL HURT HER. Thus why is the 40% highlighted when the majority of Republicans (by 12% points) do not believe this will hurt her chances in 2012? Theses poll numbers are actually good news for Sarah Palin and not bad. Are the GOP elites at work again, attempting to attack Palin by highlighting the negative news over the positive news for Sarah Palin in order to get another GOP elitist nominated in 2012 over Sarah Palin? I cannot help but wonder.
