Caribou Barbie's approval ratings have been dropping all over, now that extends to her home state of Alaska. When polled during the Republican National Convention, Alaska pollster Ivan Moore found that 82% of Alaskans gave Palin a positive rating, while only 13% disapproved of her. Now in a new poll Palin's approval rating is down to 68%. Still good, but a drop of 14%.
Among conservatives, she dropped only from 93% to 88%. However among self-described moderates, she has fallen 18%, from 83% to a 65% approval rate. Among progressives, she has gone down 26%, from 49% approval to 23%.
What this, and other numbers across the country indicate, is that after a quick surge Palin has come back down to earth and her appeal is mainly only to conservatives. I'm sure McCain had hoped for more than that, and for a time it looked like it might happen, but the reality of a lying fraud named Sarah Palin has come home to roost.
