Post resignation announcement, Sarah Palin’s approval numbers rise.
I’m not much on giving USA Today any credibility on most topics, but since the poll was conducted with Gallup I’ll let this one slide.
“Poll: Palin’s support still strong among GOP“
Funny, how they just can’t bring themselves to just say her GOP approval numbers rise in the headline. Then again it is USA Today! Couple interesting portions:
“Two-thirds of Republicans want Palin, the party’s vice presidential nominee in 2008, to be “a major national political figure” in the future.”
and no surprise the above is immediately followed by:
“Three-fourths of Democrats hope she won’t be.”
and this:
“Palin’s complaints about unfair treatment by the news media resonate with many respondents. Three-fourths of Republicans, more than half of independents and a third of Democrats say coverage of Palin has been unfairly negative.”
