'Historically unpopular' J.D. Vance continues to sag in polls: analysis

Raw Story  

Vance was unpopular coming out of the gate as Donald Trump's running mate, and the polling has only gotten worse. The Ohio Republican had historically low approval as soon as he was chosen as the vice presidential pick, and Washington Post columnist Aaron Blake noted that a half-dozen polls found his "already-underwhelming image deteriorating" as his past remarks about "childless cat ladies" continue to haunt him. "Crucially, his struggles appear particularly pronounced among educated voters and women," Blake wrote. "Vance’s net favorable rating has declined among women by around 10 points in each of the Marist, Economist/YouGov and other YouGov polls," Blake wrote. He's dropped by at least 19 points among Black voters in those three polls and down double digits among voters under age 30 in two of the three, and his net image declined in the Marist poll by 28 points among college-educated voters and 14 points among independent-leaning women – and his numbers among many groups are about the same as Trump's.
