A national poll finds that the 2024 vice presidential nominees are both still fighting to make themselves known to the U.S. voting public.
The poll, conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, shows 4 out of 10 Americans don’t know enough about Democratic vice presidential nominee Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to form an opinion.
The same goes for about 3 out of 10 Americans regarding Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio, the Republican vice presidential nominee.

Walz is currently enjoying a higher level of support among U.S. adults, maintaining a 36% favorability rating compared to Vance’s 27%.
This is compounded by Vance’s higher unfavorability rating among those polled, with 44% holding an unfavorable view compared to Walz’s 25%.
Vance’s popularity within the Republican Party is on the rise. In mid-July, only 3 out of 10 Republicans reported favorable feelings towards the Ohio senator as former President Donald Trump’s running mate — 6 out of 10 didn’t know enough about him.
The current polling finds that Vance’s support within the Republican Party has doubled to 6 out of 10 among Republicans — mostly attributable to a rise in awareness about him and his policies.
Similarly, the AP-NORC poll found Walz maintains favorable opinions with 6 out of 10 Democrats, with approximately 3 out of 10 not knowing enough about him to form an opinion.

The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll was conducted from Aug. 8 to Aug. 12.
It surveyed 1,164 adults via the NORC “probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel,” which it describes as “designed to be representative of the U.S. population.” Its margin of error for all respondents is plus or minus 3.8 percentage points.

A profoundly uninformed, even stupid, populace will be our undoing. The media and the education system have really done their job well over the last couple of generations.
The Prancing rubber mouthed liar up in the polls?
The polls need to be deswampified just like DC.
Why people think these polls are any less politically biased than the media is beyond me.
“A profoundly uninformed, even stupid, populace will be our undoing”
Yep......
A really smart Freeper posted this yesterday, and its exactly where we are:
“So long as they (the Proles) continued to work and breed, their other activities were without importance. Left to themselves, like cattle turned loose upon the plains of Argentina, they had reverted to a style of life that appeared to be natural to them, a sort of ancestral pattern...Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult.” ― George Orwell, 1984
Agreed, but that’s the current environment.
So it has to be taken into account by President Trump and his campaign, which I am sure they are doing. Because it’s the environment that they have to win in.
Strange, most voters know very little about Walz which is enough to tell them he is a communist.
Turns out he’s a Maoist.
If Vance was a democrat, all of Hollywood would be singing his praise because of his life story.
It’s cnn
They the problem
As long as cnn is up and running then republicans will have problems
Whether it’s trump , Vance , vivik , desantis , Haley , Carson or any other republican
That’s the problem. Cnn
Few men in our history have had the amazingly accurate foresight of George Orwell.
For me, and this will sound elitist to some, the great irony is that the groups who have been granted voting rights in the last century+ would have better lives now had this not happened. My wife, a smart woman, has stated to me that she wished women had never been given the vote.
I’m speaking of women and blacks in particular: they do not vote for their overall benefit. Too easily controlled by the media propaganda. And now we are even seeing a push for illegal aliens to vote. Jewish voters who vote democrat are in the same boat.
Same people who do these polls also told us joey is fit as a fiddle
Now what reasonable person would believe this
I don’t know Vance that well, but I do know enough about Walz.
What is to know.
4 more years of this communist rule there won’t be anything left to save.
I never heard of the jackass until Jammie Kammie mumbled his name.
The Clinton Legacy - another rigged poll.
The only thing Walz has favorability in is the propaganda media machine everyone knows he’s an idiot like Harris is.
Not everyone, and that's the problem as well.
Command Sergeant Major Walz is just an ordinary blue collar guy. Why shouldn’t people like him?
Comrade Sergeant Major................
I think they know just won’t admit it that rout gets selected often.
