ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Aug. 1 (UPI) -- A poll taken after Sarah Palin left office shows Alaskans almost evenly split on their former governor.
The Hays Poll shows Palin's popularity has dropped precipitously in a year, the Anchorage Daily News reported. In July 2008, just before her entry on the national political stage as Republican presidential candidate John McCain's running mate, 80 percent of Alaskans had a favorable opinion of Palin.
