FauxNews POLL: Most think best job for Palin is homemaker. 51% unfavorable. Mittens, Huckster tops.
Sarah Palin

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's personal ratings have slipped and most people think the best job for her now that she has resigned as governor is away from the world of politics.

About a third of Americans think the best job for Palin is homemaker (32 percent), while nearly one in five see her as a television talk show host (17 percent). Vice president of the United States comes in third (14 percent), followed closely by college professor (10 percent), with president coming last (6 percent).

Republicans think the best job for Palin is vice president (27 percent), followed by homemaker (18 percent), talk show host (14 percent), president (12 percent) and professor (7 percent).

More Americans have a negative view of Palin than have a positive one. While 38 percent say they have a favorable opinion of her, 51 percent have an unfavorable view. Even so, her ratings are better than those of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi: 29 percent favorable and 47 percent unfavorable.

The last time views of Palin were tested voters were evenly divided: 45 percent viewed her favorably and unfavorably (31 March-1 April 2009). When Palin was first introduced to the country as Arizona Sen. John McCain's running mate in September 2008, 54 percent had a positive opinion of her -- double the 27 percent who said they had a negative opinion.

2012 Republican Presidential Nominee
Among Republicans, Palin is their third choice when read a list of potential candidates for the 2012 nomination. Former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney takes the top spot (22 percent), though he bests former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee by just one point (21 percent). Palin receives the backing of 17 percent and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giluiani comes in at 13 percent. The remaining candidates receive single-digit support.

6. I would hope those who want her to be a homemaker are joking.
Being a mother is a much more difficult job than teaching college students - and would require more thought and planning, which Sarah doesn't seem able to do.

:hi:

3. Wouldn't 51% of Faux viewers consider the ideal role for ANY woman "homemaker"?
Aren't all the birthers and 20%ers still aching for a return to June Cleaver and all white neighborhoods?

7. My thoughts exactly
I'm only surprised they aren't insisting she wear a housedress, apron, and pearls at all times.

9. With a lot of coaching she could play Peggy in the live version of 'King of the Hill'
Other than that she's not fit for anything much. The thought of her in education makes me want to cry until I puke my guts out from it.

12. 6 Percent? How?
I want to know who in the holy hell is the six percent that chose president as her future role. President of what? Maybe a deserted island.

13. I am staying home with my kids right now...believe me, its not an easy job
I am also going back to school to be a teacher. Almost there...
However, it was my choice and I am still a big feminist, just want to work once the kids are in elementary school full time.
