Sarah Palin vs. Charlie Sheen? Independents pick the actor

Sarah Palin is getting hit from all sides.

Today, there's a poll out that shows independent voters would rather vote for Charlie Sheen than the former Alaska governor for president. We're not kidding.

Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling surveyed voters March 10-13 and found independents say by 41%-36% they'd rather vote for the former star of Two and a Half Men than for Palin.

When all voters are considered in this fantasy matchup, Palin beats Sheen. We point out the numbers for independents because they're a crucial bloc needed for winning the White House.

Palin is considering a run for the GOP presidential nomination in 2012. Yesterday, we reported on a new ABC News/Washington Post poll that shows that less than 60% of Republicans have a favorable view of their party's 2008 vice presidential nominee -- and she has higher negatives than other potential GOP White House hopefuls.

Charlie Sheen, of course, isn't going to run for president -- at least we don't think the bad-boy actor has that in mind. But thanks for reading to this point and a shout-out to our colleague Kelly Kennedy for alerting us to this survey.

I would not miss that show for any reason!!!

Here is a simple fact any white Christian conservative female or male who is anti-abortion will be demonized by the left and if they do a good enough job independents will believe it, I've watched politics many years and the press is very good at building up or tearing down anyone they wish.

For me I ignore the press and listen to what people say and do, I don't care how they speak(accent) what they look like just how they live their lives................

I would need to know Sheen's position on Amnesty.

I already know that Palin supports amnesty for millions of illegal aliens

just like McCain, the Bush family, Obama, Clinton, etc.

So I can never vote for any of them.

I havent even seen that poll. But i would vote for charlie before palin. He maybe crazy but he is honest and he didnt quit his job like the half-term governor he got fired like she would have been if she would have stayed in office.

Charlie Sheen Beats Obama, Palin In Presidential Poll

Charlie Sheen for President? He may just need to pick a party and, he'd be, duh, winning.

The headline grabbing, now former sitcom star was placed in hypothetical election match ups with President Obama and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin by Public Policy Polling, on behalf of the Wall Street Journal. Whether it says more about the partisan divide or the public's fondness for Sheen, the star had some resounding success in the polls.

When given the choice between Palin and Sheen, Democratic voters choose the Sober Valley Lodge over Wasilla, Alaska; Sheen defeats Palin 44-24 amongst Dems. Similarly, in an Obama vs. Sheen election, Republicans would take the actor 37-28.

Most remarkably, it's not just partisan in some cases; Sheen defeats Palin amongst political independents, 41-36.

Still, given Sheen's unfavorable rating -- 10/67 -- he falls in general elections to both Palin and Obama. Goes to show that all the publicity -- radio interviews, television tell-alls, being fired by the biggest show on television -- doesn't always make for a good platform.

That being said, Sheen will be going on an extended campaign soon, as he's extended his sold out tour with more nationwide dates, and even some in Canada. Call it diplomacy.

Side note: a Sheen presidency would be the first with two porn star first ladies.
