JD Vance is more unpopular than Sarah Palin
ABC News ^ | Aug 15, 2024 | Nathaniel Rakich

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.

Walz is popular? That ugly old guy who looks like Methesula even though he’s only 59? The stolen valor guy who is buddies with a severely anti-Semitic Moslem? BS!!

They love a man in flannel over at ABC. Going commando in leather chaps sets them off too.

Mom trashed her indeed.

Remember mclame’s staffer Nicole Wallace? She's the ^%#=_ that trashed Sarah starting with the lie that Sarah was demanding 3 sizes of each outfit in the belly of the plane!! Lies all.

One of the first rallies she did was in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. They expected about 1,000 but I and 2 friends were there and more than 5,000 showed up. Shocked local GOP.

My 2 cents thinks mclame WANTED ozippy to win and threw election on purpose.

Every two months or so, I get a desperate solicitation from some big shot Rinopublican and the RNC about how my $250 will save the election.

I tell 'em that I'll send 'em money just as soon as they pull the knife out of Sarah Palin's back and stick it in Mich McConnell.

I think the RINO's know they're screwed.

I am meaning to read the book. I saw the movie and have heard that it is just a portion of the book. If that’s true, there is so much more to Vance. He will be President from 2028 to 2036.

Yeah, Sara pulled me into voting for McCain. ABC News has a problem. I know a LOT of folks who believe in Vance. I did enjoy his movie.

Republicans have accused him of exaggerating his military service

He wasn't "accused by Republicans" of doing that - he did it. Repeatedly. That's a fact. The press should report that fact and not merely report that "Republicans pounce".

Vilifying J D Vance is an attempt to take him out of contention before the 2028 Presidential election.

So are they going to burn Vance’s church after the election with women and children trapped inside as they did in 2008.

Not to Trump supporters he’s not.

And we almost all liked Sarah Palin a thousand times more than we hated McCain.

That’s a lot! :)


INDEED!

Sarah - the ORIGINATOR of Drill, baby, drill. ;^)

Sarah would make a great Secy of Interior.

JD is an excellent choice for VP!!

Sarah Palin was in over her head on day one, the campaign didn't help her. That was a disaster. I supported them and later when she was running. I was ultimately disappointed when she continued her campaign until some paid videos were released, then quit. She could never undo that damage of her run with McCain, even failed later to win state office.

Compared to Vance, Palin is more unpopular and not as prepared or ready for office, either as vice president or president. Vance is a winner, our winner.
