Tim Walz has good numbers so far, despite GOP attacks
In the week since Vice President Kamala Harris selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) as her running mate, Donald Trump’s campaign and its allies have arguably spent even more time attacking him than Harris. They’ve called his record as governor too liberal and focused extensively on his claims about his military service — even as Republicans have fretted about the Trump campaign’s failure to define Harris.
It’s still early, but so far there is little evidence that the Walz attacks are getting much traction in the court of public opinion.
Multiple polls in recent days have tested views of Walz, and they suggest he’s a relatively popular VP pick. That includes among middle-of-the-road voters and independents.
YouGov national polling and a New York Times/Siena College poll of three crucial states (Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin) last week both showed Walz’s favorable rating outpacing his unfavorable rating by 11 points. The YouGov poll showed 41 percent had a favorable opinion, while 30 percent had an unfavorable one. The Times/Siena poll showed Walz’s split at 39-28.
