I think many Alaskans are not liking how she represents them on a bigger stage, that's for sure.

Duh! When the Democrats found out Ms Palin was going to challenge the Messiah, of course, they disapproved.

68% ain't bad ... show me another politician with that kind of popularity rating.

I note the papers touting that Obama's popularity rating has "soared" [their word!] all the way to 48% !!!

I believe that our Aussie Pm, Kevin Rudd, had around that much support right before he won the election...you have to be really, really popular to get that kind of support, though.

This also probably do to partisanship, Democrats in Alaska may support the job she was doing but then when she got the nomination her popularity went down b/c she was running against their party. Hell to have had an 80% approval rating means you have to be popular among both parties.
