Voters appear turned off by the vice presidential nominee\'s anti-abortion views and disparaging statements about women.
Republican vice presidential candidate, Sen. J.D. Vance speaks at NMC-Wollard Inc. / Wollard International on August 7, 2024, in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.New polling data suggests that Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance is growing in unpopularity among voters as time goes on, likely due to the electorate learning more about his far right views, which they may not have known about previously.
Vance was selected by Donald Trump to be his running mate in mid-July.
The Blueprint poll confirms other surveys that have similarly showcased how, as voters learn more about Vance and his past statements, they become less enthralled by him as a candidate., 56 percent of Americans disagreed with those sentiments.
Vance’s disastrous rollout as the vice presidential nominee is easy to see — for example, since 1980, vice presidential candidates have typically seen a 19-point “bump” in their favorability ratings after their respective party’s convention.
For his own part, Vance has defended Trump against attacks stemming from comments the former president made during an event for Black journalists, where he said that Harris didn’t embrace her Black identity until very recently — a claim that is blatantly false.
