Vice presidential candidates typically receive a ratings bump after their party's convention, but JD Vance is bucking the tradition. On the heels of last week's Republican National Convention, the Ohio senator is the least-liked vice presidential candidate since 1980, polling at minus six points just one week after accepting the nomination.
Vance underperformed in his 2022 Ohio Senate race compared to other Republicans, defeating his opponent by only six percentage points, while Governor DeWine won by 25 points. This has led to questions about the wisdom of his selection.
CNN political data reporter Harry Enten stated, 'The JD Vance pick makes no sense from a statistical polling perspective.'
Harris' team released a press statement celebrating Vance's low popularity as the least popular VP pick in history.
