According to one interpretation (via The Washington Post) of the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, however much Sarah Palin's endorsement helps or doesn't help candidates in primary elections, it may be "toxic" during a general election. The poll indicates that a Palin endorsement has high negative appeal among the broad electorate, with 52 percent of respondents saying it would make them "uncomfortable." Other factors seen near-equally negative in the poll were a candidate's support for former President Bush's economic policies, and support for the elimination of various federal agencies including Social Security or the Department of Education.
