A new Rasmussen Reports poll of Republicans finds a 40 percent plurality believing that Gov. Sarah Palin’s (R-Alaska) resignation “hurts her chances of winning the party’s presidential nomination in 2012,” with only 24 percent saying it helps her. It’s a sort of meta way to ask about this; these voters after all, will decide who the nominee is, so it’s up to them, not the press, whether the decision hurts in the long run. But for two in five Republicans to doubt the logic of someone they were, before this, relatively united in support of, is not a good thing for Palin.
