⭐️ The big Walz vs. Vance gap: 14 points

Republicans have exerted plenty of energy going after the new Democratic vice-presidential nominee,
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D),
for his record as governor, his military service and other issues.

And they’ve had plenty to work with.

But for now, the latest polls show 🔸Walz is a popular running mate
— and notably,
significantly ♦️more popular than the GOP’s unpopular VP nominee,
Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio).


The current FiveThirtyEight average shows Walz’s net image rating
(favorable minus unfavorable)
is five points positive,
while Vance’s is nine points negative.

♦️That’s a 14-point gap.

Vance’s image has continued to decline in recent weeks, and a Fox News poll this week really highlighted the GOP’s problem.

The poll was relatively good for Trump
(showing him leading nationally by one point)
but was one of Vance’s worst to date.

It showed his image 13 points underwater:
38 percent favorable, compared with 51 percent unfavorable.
