so much for our own polls...
actually, I do recall a poll on the subject of teaching creationism a couple of years ago, what was interesting is that a majority of americans beileved in creationism, but only about 1/3 thought it should be taught in public schools. i'll look for it.
a gallop poll found a majority of americans favored the women's right to an abortion, and only about 20% believed that abortions shouldn't be allowed in cases of incest/rape.
so yes, palin's views on these two issues are very much in the extreme for americans.

Creationism being taught in schools is closer to extreme, I'll give you that.
What % of americans do you think would be in favor of not providing care to babies born during an abortion procedure? 2%? 5 maybe?
Beyond that, Christians make up a large majority of the pro-life crowd, and the belief that life begin in the womb applies to all babies, no matter the circumstances, so I find the results of the poll you're citing highly suspicious.
