40% of GOP Voters Say Resignation Hurts Palin’s Chances in 2012

Forty percent (40%) of Republican voters nationwide say Sarah Palin’s decision to resign as governor of Alaska hurts her chances of winning the party’s presidential nomination in 2012.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of GOP voters finds that (24%) believe Palin’s resignation helps her chances of winning the Republican nomination, while 28% say it will have no impact on the race.

But that doesn’t mean Palin isn’t near the very top of the list when Republicans are asked what they think of her and whom they’d vote for in 2012 – as new data set for release at noon EDT today will show

After all, 61% of GOP voters say it is at least somewhat likely that Palin will run for president in 2012, including 23% who say she is very likely to do so.

Just 29% think Palin is unlikely to run for the White House, with 25% who say it’s not very likely and only four percent (4%) who say it’s not at all likely.
