"Americans aren't vibing with the Republican vice-presidential nominee. On average, only 33 percent have a favorable opinion of Sen. JD Vance, while 42 percent have an unfavorable one.

 

Americans were cool toward Vance from the start: Three days* after he was announced as former President Donald Trump's running mate, his net favorability rating was -3 percentage points (26 percent favorable, 29 percent unfavorable). But since then, he has faced a rash of bad headlines about his past comments calling Harris a "childless cat lady," his past support for a national abortion ban and even a baseless internet rumor about having sex with a couch. The poor rollout pushed his net favorability rating down even further, to -9 points.

 

That is a historically bad net favorability rating for a vice-presidential candidate. We applied our current favorability polling average formula to old polls of six freshly minted VP picks from the past 20 years,** and none of them ever had an average net favorability rating as low as Vance's."

**All but then-Sen. Joe Biden in 2008, for whom we didn't have data.

Good grief…what rock have you been living under? For worst vp in the history of the USA, you can start with one of the biggest political vp failures in US history which is undoubtedly Harris, and of course Biden and many others. But any sensible individual would understand that folks being drenched educated and enslaved by the media would never know anything outside of that inverted realm.

The OP report above is based on polling data for net favorable-unfavorable ratio among past VP candidates.

 

Do you have any credible source for your claims that Harris started out (which seems to be the data the OP report is using) as a more net unfavorable VP candidate that Vance. Because the OP article gives no indication she was....and in fact says the opposite.  In commenting on Vance thus far:

 

"That is a historically bad net favorability rating for a vice-presidential candidate. We applied our current favorability polling average formula to old polls of six freshly minted VP picks [emphasis added] from the past 20 years,** and none of them ever had an average net favorability rating as low as Vance's.

 

Most vice-presidential candidates this century had numbers that looked like Walz's: Slightly more Americans liked them than disliked them, but public opinion on them was pretty divided (probably reflecting simple partisanship). An exception was former Sen. John Edwards in 2004, who went into Election Day with an excellent +21-point average net favorability rating (48 percent favorable, 26 percent unfavorable). Before 2024, the lowest net favorability rating among the candidates we looked at belonged to Sen. Tim Kaine in 2016, who was 4 points underwater on Election Day.

Sarah Palin had a real up and down rating. Ended up way negative. She's a nutter for sure

A nutter who actually started out far better than Vance, according to the OP report:

 

"It may surprise some folks that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin — who is usually remembered as the worst VP pick in modern times — had "only" a -2-point net favorability rating by the end of the 2008 campaign. But people forget that she actually started off as an energizing and popular pick. On Sept. 10, 2008, one week after her well-received acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, her net favorability rating was +21 points (47 percent favorable, 25 percent unfavorable).

 

But from that moment on, the more Americans learned about Palin, the more they disliked her. Her poor answers to interview questions created a perception that she was unprepared for the presidency, and an ethics scandal back home in Alaska tarnished her image as a reformer. By Election Day, her unfavorable rating had shot up 20 points (to 45 percent), while her favorable rating was down 3 points (to 44 percent)."

I would say that number one least popular VP must be Ms Harris. You don't have to be a political expert to know that.

Well, compare Vance with former Vice Presidents is ridiculous. Vance was never nor will become a Vice President. Because both him and his boss are weird.

Also, remember Spiro Agnew, forced to resign for corruption/tax evasion after he and Nixon had achieved one of the largest ever majorities in a USA election campaign.

 

BTW, my UK bookmakers now offering odds on a Harris victory come November. A truly remarkable turnaround.

Vance is not, nor has he ever been a VPOTUS. Albeit, he has dressed like a woman.

This thread is utterly moronic.  It's not unusual on AN to come across kindergarden minds, but this surely is a new low.

Trump was playing to his base in choosing Vance as an "attack dog". How well that would have played against attacking an aged Biden I don't know  (if seen as attacking a defenseless elderly person, the sympathy would have backfired on the Republicans). But it is a new contest now. If Vance attacks Harris and she is not seen as capable of a strong defense, they might gain some ground. As to attacking Walz? I think Republicans will not gain any ground. By bet and vote goes to the Democrat Party in November. Hoping that defeating Trump by 3 million votes in 2016, 7 million votes in 2020, we will see a Trump defeat by 10+ million votes in 2024.

I give you credit for at trying to support your demigod. The frustration, embarrassment, and shame must be overwhelming.

 

Most people have already had their fill of right-wing word salad though.

Vance is the best educated of the 4 on the tickets, and also the best public speaker. He is sharp, good at speaking extemporaneously, and should not be underestimated.  I don't blame Walz for being too scared to have more than one debate with him. One spanking should be enough for a shirker and freedom hater like Walz.

It is clear that you fear JD. Otherwise you would post genuine facts, and not drivel like this.  He would have absolutely destroyed Kamala in a debate, and will easily best shirker Walz.

Vance has limited experience as a politician but speaks well. What we have seen from Walz has been bad. What we have seen from Harris is the worst middle class living standards since Bush snr. So if we ignore the cheerleader networks on both sides and just look at official data no informed voter would choose Harris and Walz. In a debate Walz has nothing to be proud of.

I remember that middle class standards were pretty low 4 years ago. You know, when there was no toilet paper, and there was a lack of body bags for the morgue.
