The survey also found Pence’s unfavorable rating ticking up by two points, moving from 39 percent last week to 41 percent this week. Nevertheless, Pence’s favorable rating is still above water, as 49 percent report a favorable view. In all, however, Pence has the second highest unfavorable rating among all GOP candidates. He is second only to former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, as 45 percent have an unfavorable view of the presidential hopeful.

Trump’s favorable rating skyrocketed to 81 percent over the past week after his D.C. arraignment, representing a 10-point jump from the 71 percent who reported a favorable view last week. His unfavorable rating also decreased from 26 percent to 17 percent. DeSantis also saw a boost, moving from 63 percent viewing him favorably last week to 69 percent this week. Nineteen percent currently view the Florida governor unfavorably.

Morning Consult also highlighted the strides made by Ramaswamy, who now has 56 percent viewing him favorably, consistently diminishing his lack of name-recognition week by week.

“Ramaswamy is more popular than ever: The bulk of the expected GOP electorate (56%) holds positive views of entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, marking his highest favorability rating since he launched his campaign in February,” Morning Consult observed.

Trump absolutely removed the masks of the establishment, period.

It didn’t read that way, friend…hence the reaction.

But - Benefit of the doubt is a good thing, especially for long-time folks out here.

Everyone makes mistakes occasionally. Thanks for the clarification.

Well, while we hate Mike Pence, here on Free Republic, the rest of the world views him differently.

Seriously!!??!!??

He's polling at 4% as the previous GOP VP.

You could not be more wrong!

My response was to a comment that 4 in 10 viewed Mike Pence unfavorably. Which implies that up to 6 in 10 have a favorable or neutral view.

Now you are changing the discussion to say he has 4 percent in presidential polls. This then becomes an apples and oranges discussion and comparison.

I think you were misunderstood. I was suggesting clarification.
