Not likeable or not electable? Obama crushes Palin in '12 race Marist poll shows

(Dailynews).Sarah Palin can grab voters' attention whenever she wants, but they're not ready to put her in the White House – not by a long shot.

If the 2012 presidential election were held today, and Palin was the GOP candidate, she’d get wiped out by President Obama, a new Marist poll showed Tuesday.

Only 33% of registered voters would go for Palin compared to Obama’s 56%, with 11% undecided.

Obama would pull in 92% of Democrats and Palin would get 73% of Republicans.

Independents would go 49% to 34% for Obama, according to the poll of 854 registered voters with a margin of error of 3.5%.

Men went for Obama 54% to 36% and women by a wider margin: 58% to 30%.

Whites favored Obama 50% to 40%, African-Americans by 99% to 1%, and Latinos 62% to 27%.
