Clear majority says Failin not qualified to be president - Aug 2010
[LINKHOTTEN]
A new poll shows only 1 in 4 Americans believe Sarah Failin is qualified to be president.
CNN - Two days after Sarah Failin fired up a large crowd at Glenn Beck's 'Fuck MLK' rally in Washington, a newly released survey suggests a clear majority of Americans don't think the former pageant contestant has the right credentials to be president. According to the new survey from Vanity Fair and CBS News' 60 Minutes, only 1 in 4 of all adults thinks Failin is qualified to be commander-in-chief while 60 percent say she is not.
By a narrow 47-40 percent margin however, Republicans do feel Failin has the right stuff to be president. But self identified conservatives ? constituting the segment of the GOP largely thought to most favor the former pageant contestant ? are essentially split 41-40 percent on her abilities to govern the country.
What may also be troubling for the former pageant contestant if she finds herself in a general election matchup, 3 in 5 independent voters don't think Failin is qualified while only 21 percent do. Among moderates, the numbers are even worse with 70 percent reporting they lack confidence in Failin. Predictably, the numbers are most dire for the former pageant contestant among self-identified Democrats: 3 in 4 say Failin isn't up to the responsibilities of the Oval Office.
