Tim Walz is preferred over JD Vance by 10% as election enters home stretch
There is a notable gap between favorability of the vice presidential nominees in the 2024 election.
Sen. J.D. Vance has held at a 32 percent favorability rating from early August to later in the month, a new ABC News/Ipsos poll released on Tuesday reveals.
Meanwhile, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz increased his favorability from 39 percent in the polling on August 13 compared to the 42 percent he now boasts in the post-Democratic National Convention survey.
Walz, besides holding a favorability lead, also holds the advantage over Vance when it comes to the number of Americans who think the vice presidential nominees are ready to take over as president if needed.
Forty-one percent of Americans polled by ABC News/Ipsos say they are 'confident' that Vance is prepared to take over at the helm should he need to take over for Trump.
And 49 percent feel the same way about Walz.
Vance, 40, began his first elected position in 2023 when he was elected as a U.S. Senator from Ohio. Before that he was a Marine, author and venture capitalist who earned his law degree from Yale.
