Polarization Cannot Win a National Election

New data released by the Washington Post shows that Sarah Palin’s image is woefully polarizing:

Q: Do you have a favorable or unfavorable impression of Sarah Palin? Do you feel that way strongly or somewhat?

Overall:Â 37 fav/55 unfav
Democrats:Â 15 fav/75 unfav
Republicans:Â 66 fav/30 unfav
Independents:Â 38 fav/55 unfav

The problem is that even if Sarah made it past the primary, her strongly inverted image among Independents would prevent her from even being competitive.

However, her image has remained largely unchanged from their February survey:

â€œDo you have a favorable or unfavorable impression of Sarah Palin?â€
2/4-8/10Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 37%FavÂ Â Â Â Â 55%Unfav Â Â 8%Unsure
11/12-15/09Â Â Â Â Â 43%Fav Â Â Â 52%Unfav Â Â 5%Unsure
7/15-18/09Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 40%Fav Â Â Â 53%Unfav Â Â 7%Unsure
9/27-29/08Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 51%Fav Â Â Â 40%Unfav Â Â 9%Unsure
