Uh oh. More bad news for the woman who believes no one is more qualified for the job of president "than a woman, a mom… who’s administered locally, state, with energy issues, so maybe a mayor, a governor maybe."
Sarah Palin's popularity has declined among the very voters the former Alaska governor would need to impress first were she to seek the 2012 Republican nomination for president, The Des Moines Register's new Iowa Poll shows.Palin's favorability has ebbed with Iowa Republican likely voters, whose most active members make up the state's presidential caucus electorate, in the past 15 months, according to the poll taken this month.
...
Palin's favorability has slipped among Iowa Republicans who say they will vote in 2012 to 65 percent in the poll taken this month from 71 percent in November 2009.
Sure, those numbers are still pretty high, especially compared with the ever-increasing majority of all Americans, including conservatives, who don't like her and don't think she's qualified to be president.
But it also demonstrates, again, for the bazillionth time, that every time she opens her mouth to incoherently opine on anything—from telling her "union brothers and sisters" in Wisconsin to give up the fight, to mocking the First Lady for encouraging mothers to breast feed their babies, even though, as Jed pointed out, she did the same thing thing in 2007—she makes it that much easier for the very people who once supported her to decide they really don't like her after all.
