Draggingtree Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Conservative Intelligence Briefing : Palin Behind in U.S. Senate Poll Written by Conservative Intel. Posted in Featured, Polling, Uncategorized Published on January 31, 2013 Conservative Intelligence Briefing commissioned a poll among likely voters to assess the political atmosphere for the 2014 U.S. Senate race in Alaska. In a Republican Senate primary, Governor Sean Parnell leads former Governor Sarah Palin 32%-27%. Lt. Governor Mead Treadwell and 2010 Senate nominee Joe Miller follow at 14% and 12% respectively. Republicans who consider themselves “Very Conservative” give Palin the edge over Parnell 26%-25%. Parnell’s strength is fueled by “Somewhat Conservative” voters who pick him over Palin 39%-25%. Palin’s standing is not the result of her being unpopular with Alaska Republicans. Fifty-six percent of Republicans hold a favorable opinion of her, while 38% say unfavorable. The problem for Palin is that Sean Parnell has a 74% favorable image with Republicans, 16% say unfavorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pollyannaish Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Thanks @Draggingtree. It drives me crazy that the press seems to spend more time exploring what -if scenarios than reporting real news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valin Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Palin’s Political Future Eliana Johnson February 2, 2013 The news that former Alaska governor Sarah Palin did not renew her contract with the Fox News Channel has sparked speculation about what she will turn her attention to next. From the looks of it, Palin, who stepped down as governor in 2009, would have a shot at serving her state in the Senate seat if she decides to run. Palin, who, with an approval rating of 56 percent, remains popular among Alaska Republicans, is nonetheless not quite as popular as Governor Parnell, who has a whopping 74 percent approval rating among the same group. The poll was conducted among likely 2014 midterm voters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
