Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s political standing has taken a hit following the recent shooting in Tucson, according to new polling data out Tuesday.

Palin’s favorability rating hit a new low in the USA Today/Gallup poll, landing at 38 percent. The 53 percent who have an unfavorable view of Palin is a new high.

The poll came on the same day that Public Policy Polling’s Tom Jensen previewed a survey set for release later this week that shows Palin trailing President Barack Obama by 17 percentage points in a potential matchup — her largest deficit since March 2009.

Thats too bad, although Im no Palin fan the charges against her were ridiculous and she should have never had to try and explain herself in a speech. I really kind of wish her positives would go up a small but undeniable and unignorable amount, just to teach politicians not to exploit tragedy by throwing around blame without evidence.

This is bad for a RP run. Palin splits the neocon vote if she runs. She's less likely to run with these types of numbers in my opinion.
