Hmmm, maybe Koch meant to say that Palin has been persuasive at *earning 
people's disapproval*.  If this is victory, I'd hate to see defeat:

Palin hits new low in poll

By: CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney

Washington (CNN) - After a difficult and controversial two-week stretch 
for Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor's favorable rating has dipped 
to its lowest level since she joined the 2008 Republican presidential 
ticket and became a household name.

According to the new USA TODAY/Gallup survey, Palin's favorability rating 
has dipped to 38 percent while her unfavorable now stands at 53 percent. 
Gallup reports the 38 percent is a new low when it comes to the percentage 
of Americans who give the former Alaska governor a thumbs up. The 53 
percent who dislike Palin is also a new high in Gallup polling. A similar 
poll in July found 44 percent of Americans viewed her favorably while 47 
percent did not.

The poll surveyed 1,032 adults by telephone from Friday through Sunday and 
carries a sampling error of 4 percentage points.
