(CNN) — A majority of Americans think Sarah Palin is stepping down as Alaska's governor for political reasons, according to a new national poll, with a majority of Republicans now saying that they do not believe that Palin would be an effective president. Only 33 percent of Republicans questioned in a CBS News survey released Monday night say that Palin would have the ability to serve effectively as president. Last fall, 71 percent of registered Republicans felt that way. "It's unclear whether the change in Republicans' view of Palin is the result of her decision to step down as governor, or whether the GOP rank-and-file felt they had to defend their party's vice-presidential nominee during the campaign but don't feel the same tug of party loyalty today," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "Either way, this is bad news for Palin, whose first task in 2012, if she runs for the White House, will be to convince Republican primary voters to support her."

Please list the requirements or qualification for president in the following categories... Education work experience morality
She certainly couldn't be any worse than Clinton, Bush, or Barry Soetero.
Too true, bump The pug would be much preferred to these yeah-hoo's.
Ummm, no. I think this poll will just convince her to go the independent candidacy route. She has lots of fans here on this site who don't believe any of these polls. The Republican Party may not know it yet, but Palin may just finish it off. GOPers coming in third with Mitt, Huck, Newt or Tim at the helm is not beyond the realm of possibility. When only 21 percent of a population identifies with you as a party, you're on the verge of extinction. GOP delenda est.

Please list the requirements or qualification for president in the following categories... Education: An affirmative action placement in a typical ivy league leftist hatchery. work experience: community activist schooled in the Saul Alinsky method morality: typical of a bi-sexual, black male.
