Palin is heartily disliked by the majority of the population primarily because her standard operating procedure is to belittle, scorn, and ridicule anyone that doesn't fully subscribe to her fringe brand of hard right conservatism. This aggressive egotism, when combined with a pretty obvious lack of intellectual firepower to back it up, is perhaps the most obnoxious brew of personality traits a person can have. Arrogant ignorance draws disfavor like flies to honey. Add in the fact that she can't stop making gaffes at every turn, and yes, she is a magnet for disdain and mockery. But it's pretty much self-inflicted (though certainly not wholly).
She's also one of the few factors that can absolutely sink the GOP in the next election.
I hate to be a stickler about this but the Washington Post poll says 41% of Americans strongly dislike her. The rest of us don't care or get a kick out of the liberal histrionics surrounding her every move. I read today that she eats pizza with a knife and fork... can you believe THAT!!!????!!!!
