There is not only a new Sarah Palin book, but a new Sarah Palin poll by ABC News/Washington Post, which finds, as she kicks off her publicity tour for "Going Rogue," that 53 percent of Americans say they would definitely not vote for her for president, 37 percent would consider it and 9 percent definitely would.

Sixty percent say she is not qualified to be president, compared to 38 percent who say she is, according to the poll conducted Nov. 12-15.

Fifty-two percent see her unfavorably, compared to 43 percent who view her favorably. The numbers are about the same as those measured in July.

A Rasmussen Reports poll, conducted Nov. 13-14, says 41 percent of Republican voters believe she shares their values, compared to 30 percent who disagree and 29 percent who are undecided. Forty-one percent regard her as representative of a new direction for the GOP, 26 percent say she is a divisive force and 33 percent are not sure.

Sixty-one percent don't plan to read the book.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
