WSJ/NBC: Palin fav at -8%

According to a new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll, 32% of adults view Sarah Palin positively, while 40% view her negatively, for a net -8%.

5% aren't sure and 23% are neutral.

If you look at the pdf, in October -- before her book tour -- 27% viewed her favorably, while 46% viewed her negatively.

That represents a solid bump; presumably, from the media blitz.

Still, her numbers haven't climbed higher than they were in July or even April, before she resigned as Governor.

What's surprising is the high % of voters who are still neutral on her. In NBC/WSJ's four polls on Palin since April, her neutrals have been 24%, 20%, 22%, and 23%.

So while her fav numbers are still fairly bleak, there's room for her to grow.
