Sarah Palin continues her seemingly inexorable polling rise as this analysis from
Election Meter.com (link at end of this page) shows.Over the 360 day polling period Palin has risen 5.42 points from 49.85% to her current 55.28%
On the heels of Sarah Palin being found-by a left wing polling outfit PPP Polling LINK to be the favoured candidate, by far, by Alaska's Republicans to oppose Senator Begich in 2014, Palin's latest EM poll rating finds her at heights not seen in four years-55.28% Approval.
In the Alaska PPP poll, Palin's favourable rating with Republicans was 65%-20 points higher than her nearest possible polled opponent and an increase on the Harper poll in May.
This result is mirrored and reinforced by the cross tabs at the most recent 2013 CNN/ORC poll, presuming that the responders in this new Election-Meter.com LINK poll are mostly Republicans
The most important factor in the CNN poll LINK was an indicator of Palin's support from those who count-i.e. Republican voters. How did she fare with that group? Palin had a 58%-36% favorability ratio. The EM result, presumingly including some non-Republicans is 55.28%-44.72% (rounded in graph to 53%)

and a net positive rating of +48. AT THIS LINK
"one interesting finding on this poll was that Sarah Palin is far more popular than any of the actual Republican candidates . Her net favorability is +48, with 68% of voters rating her favorably to only 20% with a negative opinion. That compares favorably to +29 for Santorum, +19 for Romney, and -26 for Paul.
Palin is someone GOP delegates might be able to unify around in the case of a hopelessly deadlocked convention. She is seen positively by Gingrich voters (85/7), Santorum supporters (80/10), and Romney ones (57/27) alike. "
Now today's poll result at Election Meter.Com has her approval also at a significant level.
The new 6000+ aggregate vote EM Poll gives Palin a 55.28% approval rating. This is her fourth rating above 45% by one point or more increases in this poll since 2010, and shows the long struggle against media distortion she has had to undertake. Still, the slow and steady rise continues-as Palin's polling over the last year indicates clearly.
Undertake the long struggle she has done indeed, and her tenacity seems to finally be paying, off as voters now are seeing her in a substantially positive light again.The following factors may also have been significant contributors to her continuous rise
Her strong statements on President Obama's handling of the economy during and after the 2012 election have clearly elicited a positive response. Voters look for strength of character and unwavering conviction which, whether one agrees with her views or not, Palin has in abundance
Her winning endorsements for high profile campaigns e.g. Deb Fischer's come from behind Senate primary wins, and Ted Cruz's remarkable rise in Texas- both of whom won their general election campaigns all with Palin's support. The perceived unfairness to Palin by the Romney team in hiring someone who has spoken negatively about to run his campaign, and of course their stonewalling Palin being invited to the Tampa convention
Yes certainly, the Election Meter poll is an on-line poll and can be discounted to a degree because of that. However, when Palin was at her absolute nadir in this poll in 2010 at 19.2% her enemies would have seized on it as being representative of a general feeling.
There is some degree of validity to that view, although it is distorted and extreme, but on the other hand the steady, seemingly inexorable rise since then must also reflect a wider reality-which will of course be ignored by her enemies.
The longer term graphs which, because of the time frame involved, must be valid in the wider context they support. Surely the absolute polling height of 72% in 2008 was a genuine reflection of reality at that time.
