Vance is one of the least popular vice-presidential picks this century.
It's important to make a good first impression — whether you're on a first date, interviewing for a job or running to be vice president of the United States. And the two men who recently joined the Republican and Democratic presidential tickets have made very different first impressions.
According to 538's new polling average of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's favorable and unfavorable ratings, the Democratic candidate for vice president has an unusual quality for a modern politician: He's well liked. As of Aug. 15 at 1 p.m. Eastern, 38 percent of Americans have a favorable opinion of him, and 33 percent have an unfavorable opinion of him.
Democrats' initial branding of Walz — as a paternal former teacher, coach and National Guardsman — seems to have caught on, especially immediately after he was announced as Vice President Kamala Harris's running mate, when multiple polls found him with a double-digit positive net favorability rating (favorable rating minus unfavorable rating). Since then, his unfavorable rating has risen a bit faster than his favorable rating as Republicans have accused him of exaggerating his military service, but he still has a solid +5-point net favorability rating on average.
By contrast, Americans aren't vibing with the Republican vice-presidential nominee. On average, only 33 percent have a favorable opinion of Sen. JD Vance, while 42 percent have an unfavorable one.

Yeah.....SO unpopular his smash seller book “Hillbilly Elegy” was a flop - no one bought one book.
SO unpopular he didn’t get elected Senator.
SO unpopular that Netflix didn’t make a movie about it.
SO unpopular that Glen Close and Amy Adams didn’t star in it.
SO unpopular that ABC feels it can say any damned bald faced lie it wants and get away with it.
Bullshit.
I was keeping track when she got the nod, and they smeared her for 45 days straight.
Pieces of dog cr@p like "Gaslight Nicolle" Wallace were back-stabbing Sarah from the RepukeLicking lines.
Ever notice how Harris/Walz sounds like Hairy Balls?
Sarah Palin was the ONLY reason why I voted for her and McLame.
Palin was actually very popular. The problem with that 2008 ticket was the person at the top of the ticket, John McCain. If not for McCain, Sarah would have become VP and later president.
JD Vance is very popular, but the left-wing media cannot allow him to be viewed as such. But, they can’t stop him nor Trump.
Nobody was more unpopular than Kamala in 2020, but the media elevated her to queen status after the election.She’s still unpopular now, but the media is making her out to be the greatest thing since Washington. Oops! Did I say the name of a ‘racist’ and of a man who is hated by the left? FACT is that, if Washington were alive today, the media would call him less popular than Kamala.
Same here.
The only thing that is comment able about Sarah Palin is her voice which she cannot help. The words and ideas were spot on.
I’d still take Palin’s voice over Que-mala’s Hyena cackle any day of the week.
I am very encouraged that the Mockingbird Media hates Vance.
That means he is valuable life insurance for President Trump.
Without her to bring some life to the campaign it really would have been a bloodbath. McLame could’t appear without her.
That summation was written by a democrat!.., I agree with NONE of it.
Walz is a lousy excuse for a human being.. He is liked by the rude and low caliber wits who don’t think past their own logic..
Harris does not have enough logic to do anything..
The dems have settled for nothing for several years.
And I wonder if today’s youth have had any real ‘learning’ in their life.
The drag the United States had had on it.. Weakens us and makes us vulnerable.
The wisdom is gone.. Trump is the hope.. And the drags have tried to keep him out..
Grow some brain.. Find the wisdom.. And we might make it.
One infallible rule: if it comes from ABC or any other legacy media or the tech giants other than Twitter/X, it is disinformation.
This guy's face spent more time underwater in the high school bathroom than a US nuclear submarine spends on an ordinary deployment.
Media is lying again. Who could be worse tha that rubbery mouthed commie Walz?
Sarah’s a good woman whose life was destroyed because these leftist douche bags made her life hell. They said her son was not her son, imagine that..that is how evil they were..she had great ideas, she is very smart, everyone in Alaska adored her, both Republicans and Democrats, she was very popular, til she ran for VP, than the media said every disgusting thing about her and the public believed it
Apparently the measure of being “unpopular” is when you prove yourself smarter than the commies and they can’t make fun of you.
LOLOL....
JD Vance is more unpopular than Sarah Palin
And in other news:
Ukraine is winning the war
Hamas is for peace
Netanyahu is Hitler
Boeing spaceships are better than SpaceX
Palin was 100x better than McLame.
At the time we had no idea that both parties were fighting against us.
Go J.D. !
