Sarah Palin Falls in the Polls But Does It Matter?

Well, it was bound to happen since polls had her in the upper atmosphere in popularity.

Time in the spotlight apparently hasn’t helped Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. According to a Hays Research poll, Palin’s positive rating has nosedived from 86% positive a year ago to just 54% now.

Palin still is a net-positive (54% positive, 42% negative), but compare that to fellow Republican Lisa Murkowski, who’s approval is above 76%.

Who or what is to blame for her fall from polling grace? But does it matter at this point?

Probably NOT and, in fact, lowering expectations for her may actually help her as she moves towards re-election next year.
