(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.

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.
