JD Vance breaks polling records in the worst way


(Business Insider) Vice-presidential nominees typically receive a ratings bump after their party's convention, but Sen. JD Vance is bucking the tradition.

On the heels of last week's Republican National Convention, the Ohio senator is the least-liked vice-presidential candidate since 1980, CNN found in a polling analysis. It noted the data applied to nonincumbents.

Since 2000, vice-presidential nominees typically have had a net-positive rating immediately following the convention, at plus 19 points. Vance, however, is polling at minus 6 points just one week after accepting the vice-presidential nomination and officially embarking on the campaign trail, the network found.

The freshman lawmaker's lower-than-normal approval ratings are not an anomaly, as Vance has long polled behind other Republicans. ................(more)

He really is a pretty tone deaf, obnoxious guy. The more this gets said, the age and health of the 78 year old top of the ticket, should be included in the conversation. Ie would you want this guy as President?

One observation I have is that where some candidates were said to not be likable, he is far worse he is unlikable. There is a big between the two descriptions. One not positive, the other negative.

JD Vance has the same charisma as a Cypress

That’s what happens when your vetting process consists of a loyalty oath and waiting for the check to clear.
