How is the word Populist used in the media?

Question From User - Answers in Comments.

I heard Populist used in the media before. Calling Sarah Palin a populist. (I think in the national review) Is that word used in america to refer to someone who has a political philosophy urging social and political system change that favors "the people" over "the elites". Or are they saying it's someone who does what is popular?
