Polling data has found that voters like Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance more than Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Some of this data is a reaction to the vice presidential debate, during which most pollsters and political analysts willingly admitted that Vance won the debate. However, these same pollsters and analysts are still trying to convince the world that Vance and Walz have fought to a statistical draw, and that independents are actually siding with Walz more. (Related: J.D. Vance promises higher wages for middle-class and working-class Americans under a second Trump administration.) Polling from Rasmussen Reports finds that 33 percent of voters view Vance very favorably and 17 percent view him somewhat favorably, while Walz is viewed very favorably or somewhat favorably by 28 percent and 14 percent, respectively. This puts the Ohio Republican's overall favorability at 50 percent, eight points clear of the Minnesota Democrat. Walz is also viewed unfavorably by slightly more likely voters than Vance, at 44 versus 42 percent.

Voters see J.D. Vance as affable and sympathetic; Tim Walz as uncomfortable and confused

Introduced to the national electorate as a Midwestern dad and longtime National Guard veteran, details of the fraud and mismanagement in Walz’s state, his lies about his military service, and his LGBT indoctrination in schools, among other revelations, have tarnished the Minnesota Democrat's once relatively inoffensive image. Following the debate, media outlets noted that Walz came off as nervous, stumbling over his words and failing to fend off pointed questions regarding the questionable parts of his career, including, for instance, his many trips to China and when they took place. The Times of London New York correspondent Will Pavia described Walz as looking "staggered," "distinctly uncomfortable" and highlighted how he "confused Israel and Iran" out of the gate. "He kept halting mid-sentence. I wondered if the television was frozen. There was enough time to check, before he started talking again," Pavia wrote. The Times of London United States assistant editor David Charter described Walz as "visibly nervous" and Vance, by contrast, came off as "self-assured." "Despite being vilified by Democrats as a misogynistic opportunist after his comments on 'childless cat ladies' running the country, Vance gave a slick performance promoting Trumpism with civility, empathy and focus," he admitted. Walz, in contrast, was again dinged for having "muddled up Iran and Israel" and for having "bumbled through a non-answer that involved admitting he was 'a knucklehead at times'" when pressed on the fact he lied about being in China during the Tiananmen Square massacre. Meanwhile, The Telegraph said its experts were "unanimous" in believing that Vance triumphed over Walz. They observed: "He was not, in the words of Walz in an earlier rally, 'weird.' His answers on policy issues were detailed, and he spoke repeatedly about children and families in a way that was designed to appeal to the female voters who are driving Kamala Harris' poll lead." Instead, "It was Walz, the man picked by Harris for his folksy Midwestern charm, who came unstuck in front of the cameras," the newspaper observed. "Stuttering over his words, getting agitated and failing to pick up on some of the most obvious attack lines to use against Vance, he looked out of his depth on the stage."
