The Democratic running partner of kamala Harris is shrugging off attacks throw at him….
And IS a clear opposite of Republican Trump’s Vice President pick J.D. Vance who has daily hicups featured in the media….
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has had a stunningly successful roll-out as the Democratic vice presidential nominee, despite Republican attacks on his record in office and in the military.
Walz has a plus 5-point net favorability score, according to averages from Decision Desk HQ, which stands out as many of the top politicians around him are underwater.
Walz’s GOP rival, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), has a negative 9-point net favorability, or his favorable rating minus unfavorable rating, in the averages. At the top of the presidential tickets, former President Trump is at minus 10 points, and Vice President Harris’s favorable-unfavorable numbers are essentially tied. President Biden’s net favorability is 20 points in the red.
Though early surveys showed Walz as unknown to many voters, observers attribute his success in the popularity contest to his down-to-earth profile on Harris’s newly energized ticket, while Vance struggles to carve out his brand alongside the controversial Trump.
Now, with the election fewer than 90 days away, Walz faces the challenge of sustaining that momentum, which political watchers say he can do by leaning hard into his folksy Midwestern persona, upping his national name ID and pulling off a strong showing in October’s first vice-presidential debate….
