Notice 2 things:
- Total unfavorables: Palin (49), Ginrich (41), Romney (31), Huckabee (27)
- Don't know: Palin (5), Ginrich (18), Romney (23), Huckabee (24)
What these figures tell us is, Palin is seen LESS FAVORABLE by a range of 8 to 22% points more than the other three. Also, There is less room for her to improve those numbers. Only 5% say they are NOT SURE as opposed to a range of 18 to 24% by the other three.
As to the findings of other potential 2012ers, AP put it this way, "As for the rest — Pawlenty, Barbour, Thune, Daniels — most Americans say, "Who?"

What the write-up of this Associated Press-GFK poll doesn't tell you is that her favorable/unfavorable numbers have improved by a net seven points from the poll conducted last month and a net seventeen points from the poll conducted in September.
The problem with including that info is that they had only included her in the past. So those figures would be misleading.
Now that other candidates are in the mix, the next poll should tell us something because those being polled will have more names to consider and not hers alone.
It's clear that Palin has a problem and that MOST PEOPLE (95%) have already made up their minds.
Not great numbers for Palin. What good is winning the nomination if you can't win a general election?
