J.D. Vance's Unpopularity in Early Polling
J.D. Vance is facing significant challenges in early polling after being nominated as Trump's vice presidential pick. Polls indicate that he is more unpopular than typical candidates at this stage, showing a higher number of voters with negative views compared to positive ones. This low favorability can be surprising given that vice presidential selections usually experience a boost in public perception upon their introduction. Vance's underwhelming performance in the Ohio Senate race, where he won by a small margin compared to his Republican counterparts, raises concerns about his appeal among voters in both Ohio and key Midwest states.
