JD Vance’s recent announcement as the vice-presidential pick has sparked quite the controversy, with his net-negative rating standing at an abysmal -6 points, making him the first VP pick since 1980 to receive such a low score. The comparison to Sarah Palin, a figure known for her polarizing effect on the electorate, solidifies the notion that Vance’s selection has left many scratching their heads.
The glaring contrast between the average VP rating of +19 after the convention and Vance’s -6 rating speaks volumes about the skepticism and disapproval surrounding his candidacy. It’s evident that his attempts to appeal to the Appalachian demographic in his hometown backfired, coming across as disingenuous and out of touch.… Continue reading
