Sarah Palin Trails Charlie Sheen in Presidential Polling

These days, not even Republicans want to be associated with former reality TV star Sarah Palin. But we didn't think her stock had fallen quite as far as this: Public Policy Polling has her trailing Charlie Sheen in a presidential poll.

According to a nationally representative sample "independent voters say they would support Charlie Sheen over Palin for President by a 41/36 margin. Seriously." PPP notes that Palin can take stock in the fact that she does lead Sheen in overall voters 49 to 29 percent. But, still, it's a brutal poll result. How did the President do against the #Winning star? "We also tested Barack Obama against Sheen and the President leads 57-24," the polling firm writes.

Public Policy Polling has occasionally been questioned about leaning left, but it's not entirely clear what the implications would be on this particular poll.
