"She may be among the biggest names in politics at the moment, but former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is not exactly America's sweetheart. Just 23 percent of those surveyed in a new CBS News poll have a favorable view of the former Alaska governor. That matches her favorable rating in July, when Palin announced she was resigning from her job as governor. Thirty-eight percent, meanwhile, have an unfavorable view of Palin -- also roughly matching her July rating. Another 37 percent say they are undecided or haven't heard enough, despite the spotlight on Palin in recent days tied to the imminent publication of her memoir, "Going Rogue."How did they get this number? Simple, use 307 to 212 Democrat vs. Republican dynamics. Note how C-BS has to gloss over the nearly 40 percent of undecideds which most other reputable pollsters would find significant. Note also how among Republicans - who actually vote for the Party, are hugely in favor of her, with 59 percent saying that she shares their values. On the other hand recent polls show us that the media shares just about none of the values of normal Americans and is trusted even less.
