WASHINGTON, March 16 (UPI) -- Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's standing among Republicans is slipping, a worrying sign as she mulls a 2012 presidential bid, a Washington Post poll indicated.
Fewer than six in 10 Republicans and Republican-leaning independents said they viewed Palin favorably, results of the Washington Post-ABC News poll released Wednesday indicated. The numbers slumped from a high of 88 percent in the days following the 2008 Republican National Convention where she addressed audience as the party's vice presidential nominee, and 70 percent in October.
