Tim Walz’s Approval Rating Surges As JD Vance’s Falls

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s approval rating has surged since he was announced as Vice President Kamala Harris‘ running mate, while Donald Trump‘s pick Ohio Senator JD Vance has seen his fall.

A YouGov survey conducted on August 8, two days after Harris announced Walz as her pick, found he had a net favorability rating of +11. That was up from a +1 net favorability rating in another YouGov survey conducted in late July.

Meanwhile, Vance has seen his approval rating drop in recent weeks. The Republican‘s net favorability was -6 in a YouGov survey conducted between July 15 and 19, and dropped further to -9 in another survey conducted between July 22 and 25.

The latter survey was conducted as Vance faced backlash over comments he made in 2021 referring to certain female Democratic politicians as “childless cat ladies” with “no direct stake” in the country.
