That Hot Air piece opens up with, "Actually, Rasmussen put her favorables at 48 percent back in September, but Nate Silver’s argued at length lately that Ras polls showing rosy numbers for a Republican should be taken with a goodly chunk of salt."
Good for Hot Air!
These aren't Ras numbers, but AP.
Besides, there is a thread on Nate's analysis, which is faulty - go read it.

No, he's talking about Rasmussen putting "her favorables at 48 percent back in September". In the very first lead-off sentence. Days after the frantic "stories" about Nate Silver and his analysis. Which NS addressed, calmly and patiently, here.
She just wants publicity to make a buck. She's very good at marketing herself.
Don't underestimate the cognitive dissociation of the TP. A lot can happen in 2 years. The GOP may have to run her or put her on the ticket. Who knows?
She'll use the run-up to the primaries and caucuses next year to increase the value of the Palin brand. Even if she doesn't get the nomination the extra attention will be invaluable from a marketing standpoint. I really have to wonder if she even wants to President when she can rake up so much more money being a political celebrity and she doesn't have to deal with any of the hassles or criticisms that come with holding political office.
If she becomes President she'll have to take a pay cut.

Another one of your tangents. This is about a couple of polls, NOT what Nate Silver thinks of Ras polls.
She is making serious money. Enough to make her family very well off for generations. That's what matters to her and I don't begrudge her for that, as much as I despise her politics. I would follow her example as a way to make a buck.
Sarah Palin's Unfavorability Numbers Hit New High, Survey Finds
The number of Americans viewing Sarah Palin unfavorably has hit the highest point since she burst onto the national stage over two years ago, according to a poll out Friday.
The Gallup survey conducted in the days after the Nov. 2 election found more than half of Americans -- 52 percent -- hold a negative opinion of the former Alaska governor. Only 40 percent viewed her favorably, which ties her lowest score from about a year ago.
I think it's been updated since Nov. 2. Last I heard, her approval rating is 46%... about the same as Obama's!
