New poll shows slump in Palin's popularity among Alaskans

Sarah Palin's desire to become a national figure has been hurting her numbers in her home state of Alaska. I can see why her numbers have been fading with her decisions to try an put in Republicans into the state legislature where typically Democrats have held firm. Yet, I think she is without a doubt going to win the spot of Governor again if she chooses to run. Alaskans have to be happy to have a figure who is seen on the national scale especially after the Ted Stevens' debacle cost them one of their most prized politicians. Palin has a lot to make up for in Alaska, but she has the time and power to do so if she desires. Having a majority of people approving what you are doing is something that many politicians fail to reach and so for her on a bad month to be only as low as 54% does not indicate much to be stressed out about. She has the backing she will need from the party in her race in 2010, but how much they are willing to support her if she intends to run for the presidency remains to be seen. I think the GOP has been reluctant to tout her so heavily as of yet because they understand that they need a fresh face and one without the baggage that Palin will carry with her.
