Voters like Walz as VP candidate more than Vance: Poll

As both Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) and Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) have been thrust into the national spotlight over the last few weeks, voters have warmed up to the Democratic vice presidential candidate more so than his Republican counterpart, according to recent polling.

Roughly 36% of voters say they have a favorable view of Walz compared to 27% who said the same of Vance, according to a recent survey by the Associated Press and NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. That gap only widens when the opposite is considered, with 44% of voters saying they view Vance unfavorably compared to 25% for Walz.
