No tiger blood: Palin loses to Sheen among non-partisans

In perhaps one of the silliest polls ever conducted, Public Policy Polling recently stacked various political figures up against troubled celebrity Charlie Sheen in a hypothetical one-on-one race for the White House. According to Politico, the pollsters admitted on Twitter to joking around a bit by posing the Sheen question before releasing results Thursday. But notably, against former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, and only among independent voters, Sheen won, 41 percent to 36 percent. Despite being upside-down with independents, however, overall those polled would choose Palin over Sheen 49 to 29 percent. Read much more and find the poll's full results, here.
