Uh oh. 61% of Americans think Sarah Palin’s resignation as governor of Alaska was a bad move.

(CNN) – A new national poll suggests that most Americans don’t think Sarah Palin’s decision to step down as Alaska governor was a smart political move.

Sixty-one percent of people questioned in a Marist survey released Tuesday say Palin’s resignation was a bad political move, while 15 percent feel it helps whatever political aspirations last year’s Republican vice presidential nominee may have in the future. Eleven percent said it makes no difference, and 13 percent were unsure of its impact. Even among Republicans, 51 percent think the move hurt more than helped, with one in five GOP voters saying it was a smart move.
