Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says she has no regrets about refraining from a presidential run.

“I am just like one of millions and millions and millions of other Americans knowing that you can make a difference without a title,” she said on Fox News on Wednesday. “And I appreciate that freedom that I have to speak my heart.” When asked: “No regrets?” She responded: “No, we’re doing fine.”

Palin also questioned President Obama’s improved poll numbers, saying they were based on “misinformation” regarding the unemployment rate. And, she dismissed polls that show both Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum losing in a hypothetical race against Obama.

“I don’t put a lot of stock in polls,” she said. “Polls are good for cross-country skiers and strippers.”
