  1. Not really news nor a surprise. Wake me when it inevitably hits triple digits.

  2. Wait, I thought he was in the negative? Did he get even more negative?

  3. >Vance’s net favorability has suffered the most among college graduates, where it dropped 28 points to -27 percent in August, compared to +1 percent in July.

    >Vance’s decreasing net favorability arrives amid continued scrutiny of his past comments about women in abusive relationships, abortion, and people without children, as well as his strong involvement with Project 2025, a controversial proposed policy document by the Heritage Foundation, which the Trump campaign has attempted to distance itself from.

    Couch sadist. He’s attacking Walz for not wearing mascara during his time in the military. Maga hates him the most.

  4. Although this is welcomed, I feel an obligation to point out that “News”Week is not a reliable source of information.

  5. Trump’s going to dump him at his stupid press conference later today…mmw

  6. The article links the cross tabs, and Vance is a whopping **27** points underwater with Independents, which is entirely unheard of for Vice-Presidential candidate.

  7. After Trump loses and if he’s out of jail and running again in 2028, maybe don’t listen to who Tucker Carlson and Elon Musk want as your vp.

  8. There is something deeply weird about the Trump/Vance ticket. I mean, are they together because Trump’s face is made entirely of orange pleather?

    Enquiring minds would like to know…

  9. I think I’m just dyslexic but I read this at first as “JD Vance Stunned by Double-Digit Approval in New Poll”

    And I was like, yeah I could see that.

  10. It is hard to think that the GOP could somehow pick a candidate worse than Sarah Palin, but they’re on track to beat it. We just need one good SNL bit and he is toast.

  11. “These are some bad ratings you’re bringing us, Vince. You’re fired.” – Convict-Don, probably.

  12. Can someone explain ELI5 how an approval rating can be below zero?

    Edit: thanks everyone. That was much simpler than I thought haha

  13. in the absence of other evidence, most people will treat any candidate as ‘generic party-member’.

    People who slotted JD in as a generic Republican, are suddenly seeing the actual person, and realizing that, no, he’s a fucked up individual being buoyed up by tech billionaire money.

  14. Imagine how he must feel, betraying all of his ideals to have a shot at power – and then realizing not only does everyone hate you, the people you’re trying to cozy up with *especially* hate you for superficial reasons against the woman you love…

    … and everyone hates you so much that you’re not just a national laughingstock, you’re being viewed as actively weighing down the ticket you threw everything away for to support.

  15. His mascara will now drip down from crying on his couch similar to rudy’s black hair dye at the strip club.

  16. Maybe if he follows the vice president of the united states around trying to sniff her seat cushions a little more, complete with running away the second he thinks he’ll get caught?

    Surely THEN people will realize now normal and not at all creepy he is!

  17. He probably should have given a better answer yesterday when a reported asked, “what makes you happy?” and he replied with “taking stupid questions from the press.” Doesn’t bode well for his favorability.

  18. JD Vance has been on an impressive speedrun into the political dumpster of history.

    It’s impressive how literally everything he does and says is so utterly asinine and offensive… He just knows how to make people hate him.

    I’m grateful Trump picked the dipshit at this point.. Vance has done an excellent accidental job of shining a light on the banal horrors of the GOP and conservatism.

  19. I just wanna give props to donald trump for yet another brilliant political chess move. Choosing an unlikeable, creepy pyscho who talked shit about his boss until he promised him unlimited power. Just another stroke of political genius

  20. I’m not voting for him, I’m a single lady with a cat.

  21. This perfectly exemplifies one of the main faults of dictatorship – even an aspiring one: Incompetence borne of overconfidence. Trump made a sloppy, thoughtless choice, a la

    * Anthony Scaramucci
    * Appearing at the NABJ
    * Appeasing Nazis in Charlotte
    * Putting kids in cages
    * Covid 19

    because he has such an unrealistic view of his own abilities. Unable to ask for help or accept guidance from others, he makes rash choices. Then he lies about it or blames others.

  22. Such a biased article. It didn’t even mention his +7 polling among couches and loveseats.

  23. Zero percent of nothing is, let me do the math here, zero into nothing, carry the nothing…

  24. I just realized that Vance sort of looks like a Chucky doll grown up and with shorter hair.
