Obama Beats Palin In Alaska, Poll Shows

Sorry, Sarah.

A new poll shows President Obama beating Mama Grizzly in her homestate. When asked if they preferred Obama or Palin, 42% of responders leaned towards Obama, while only 36% chose Palin.

Of those who preferred Obama, 35% said they felt strongly about their choice. 24% felt similarly about Palin.

Debunking any accusations of a liberal survey bias, the Anchorage Daily News reported that conservative radio host Mike Porcaro paid for the poll.

"Sarah Palin showcases her Alaska roots at every opportunity, but the surprising reality is she has become highly unpopular in her home state,” Porcaro said in an emailed statement."

The poll spells bad news for Palin, who once said, "I love this state like I love my family."

But who knows if she'll even run (besides the Palin family, of course)? Daughter Bristol Palin cryptically admitted on on Tuesday's Fox and Friends that her mother "definitely knows" whether or not she will be running for president in 2012.

2012: Palin vs. GOP?

Perhaps Mark Burnett could do a follow-up reality show called "Barack Obama's Alaska"!

Well of course she's not popular in Alaska. She walked out of office, abandoned her constituents, and started the "it's all about me" media show.

Why on earth would she be popular at home?

She had 61% disapproval in her home state. That is scary.

People can't trust her. When a person takes office, resigns to become a star, now wants to run for another office, who in there right mind would want her. She never finished the job she got elected for originally. She didn't retire, she wanted to become a TV Star!

Obama's 2 and a half year record. Massive wasteful spending resulting in a debt of $ 14.5 trillion, unemployment of 9.1 %, highest foreclosures, bankruptcies, poverty rate, Obama's highest food stamps use,sued Arizona for protecting our borders, prosecuting our own CIA inrterrogators, gave $ 2 billion to Egypt and $ 2 billion to Brazil to drill oil with total neglect of 15 million suffering , jobless, hardworking Americans. anti-America, anti-0US Miliatry, islamic sympahtetic, 20 years of listening to GOD DAMN AMERICA sermons of Rev. Wright

The trouble this country is currently having is a direct result of the Bush year policies. That's when the economy tanked and we started hemorrhaging jobs. HIs profligate spending, deep tax cuts, increased deregulation, unfunded wars, etc. drove us so far into the ditch, it left Obama with few options. Add to that a political opposition party determined to win back the WH at all cost, even it if mean sabotaging economic recovery. jethek....you obviously watch way too much Fox. Stop MSU.

PFFTTTT. Get out of here with this brainless factless conservative garbage. I'd like to think the average Huff users much more intelligent than believing this.

They had to end her bus tour early and now phase her out with "Alaska polling?" Maybe people are starting to learn who she is and why she ran with McCain in the first place.
