Poll: Americans think Palin should be a homemaker
Breaking news: Most Americans would prefer that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's next job title is not "President of the United States."
OK, that's not exactly news. But a newly released Fox News poll does have one interesting result: When asked what they thought the best job for Palin was now that she's left office, a plurality of respondents said "homemaker."
The poll gave seven possible responses to the question -- "president of the United States," "vice-president of the United States," "television talk show host," "college professor," homemaker," "other" and "don't know." Overall, 32 percent chose homemaker; with 17 percent, talk show host was the second most popular result.
Democrats, especially, were likely to choose homemaker as Palin's ideal job -- 45 percent of self-identified Democrats gave that answer ,while 21 percent said talk show host. But independents, too, leaned heavily towards the idea of Palin working in the home; 34 percent said they thought homemaker was the best job for her, while "other" was the second most popular answer among independents, with 21 percent.
