Gallup asked the burning question about Sarah Palin:
Small Majority Prefers Palin to Leave Nat'l Spotlight

... Palin remain a national political figure. Americans are similarly divided when it comes to Palin's overall image. 48 percent of voters said they had an overall favorable impression of the former Republican vice presidential candidate, while 47 percent said they had an unfavorable view of Palin. Palin has waged a media blitz this week seeking to increase her visibility and image with voters among speculation that she may become a candidate for the Senate or presidency in coming years. The poll , conducted November 7-9, has a three percent margin of error. - Michael O'Brien
Gallup Poll: No Public Groundswell For Palin As National Political Figure

... Some wonder if the other factor could be an effort to solidify her Republican support with an eye on the 2012 race. Actually, what’s more likely is because of polling data such as this new poll from Gallup: ...

Sarah Palin is off and running for 2012 Or maybe she is just off. Or maybe she is running from this. Who cares?

According to Gallup, only 45% of Americans want to see Sarah Palin stick around on the national stage. We know voters think Palin's not qualified, even the ones that voted for her. Oh, sure Republicans like her. Last week, 64% of Republicans wanted her to run in 2012, according to Rasmussen. That led Paul Begala to quip, 'yeah, and 100% of Democrats'. So, she can stick around if Republicans want her to. But when she does (and not every Republican is falling over them self in encouragement), the media is going ...
Sarah Palin Jewish? Who Knew?

... I don't want this to be true-- anymore than I wanted it to be true that Larry Craig's foot tappin' in public toilets meant that he was gay. But, you know what? It doesn't matter in either case anyway. Larry Craig can barricade himself in his closet for as long as he likes and Sarah Palin can go on a witch hunting crusade to Kenya or whatever her cult tells her to do. My guess is that Sarah and Larry have about a roughly equal chance of ever being elected to anything (in the Lower 48). On the other hand, if they ever make a movie out of Michael Chabon's awesome Yiddish ...

This press conference is really kinda painful to watch in a squirm-inducing way. Kinda like a reality show where Republican celebrities get root canal work. It seems that the long-suffering public aren't the only ones who want Sarah Palin to pack up and go home and fade nicely and quietly back into the obscurity she deserves: ...
The GOP gaze at their navel; Oregon hopes for more
BlueOregon —
... The good news for Democrats is a post-election Gallup poll finding that while only 45 percent of Americans want to see Palin have a national political future (and 52 percent of Americans do not), 76 percent of Republicans say bring her on. The bad news for Democrats is that these are the exact circumstances that can make Obama cocky and Democrats sloppy. The worse news for the country is that at a time of genuine national peril we actually do need an opposition party that is not brain-dead. ...
Gallup: Palin Tops The GOP's Dream Ticket
Daily Kos —
... also rely heavily on name recognition. Nonetheless, Gallup sez: Republicans and Republican-leaning independents are most interested in seeing Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, and Mike Huckabee run for the party's presidential nomination in 2012. Those three received the highest scores among the 10 possible candidates evaluated in a recent Gallup Panel survey. Given that a contemporaneous poll (the exit poll) says: and Gallup at the beginning of the month says : the Republicans have not gotten ...
