Democratic vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz is getting a more positive public reception than his Republican counterpart: More Americans see Walz favorably than unfavorably, contrary to JD Vance, and more approve of Walz’s selection for the nation’s No. 2 job, according to new ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll.
Thirty-nine percent in the poll have a favorable impression of Walz as a person, while 30% see him unfavorably. That compares with an underwater favorable-unfavorable rating for Vance, 32%-42%.

Wikipedia about this sourceThat’s because most americans enjoy their couches, and do not want them soiled.
Most Americans are not, in fact, down with heterosectionals, and are not comfortable with one being the VP nominee.
Bruh. She could have chosen a carrot and it’d get better ratings than Vance.
The only wrong choice was Joe Biden
You underestimate how retard-angry Republicans are.
All someone has to do is call that carrot woke and it’ll get legitimate death threats by days end.
The irony of using a slur to make fun of Republicans 🤦
I want to use that word on Republicans so bad. There is no slur more fitting for them, and it sucks that the word is so disparaging to decent people with various disabilities.
Obviously that wasn’t always the case. During grad school I found an old book in the library stacks from the '50s or '60s in the library and the title was something horrific, like “A Modern Approach to Managing Retards in the Workplace.” And it was like a serious textbook written for social workers or teachers and paraprofessionals and the like.
Naturally, I removed it from the stacks, and placed it on the desk of the EIC of the law journal (my desk), sort of as a joke, like as a message to all the staff and junior editors. This was sometime before the R word was widely considered such an offensive slur.
Not if that carrot was Rob Schneider.
I totally expected her to pick Josh Shapiro, Tim was a pleasant surprise
I don’t know who that is, hut I can say that a “Shapiro” has bad… optics?
if i can’t trust you with a VP pick, how can I trust you with a global superpower?
Can’t even trust these motherfuckers to be left unattended with my couch smh
Anyone with more than half a braincell would prefer Walz.
JD Vance puts his cast iron in the dishwasher pass it on
I hated him before, but now I also hate him just for that.
I saw mf weedwhacking in shorts and sandles, and not like a quick touch up, dude was straight chopping away in a meadow with the wrong attire like a fucking moron.
I mean vance is a low bar for comparison
If you asked both to help you move… Walz would show up with beer and a hand truck and Vance would send you a pic of himself… poolside
Somehow, it still seems true even though he doesn’t drink beer. It’s just for you; what a guy.
I’d never ask JD to help me move because I need someone I can trust to carry couches.
Vance is a weird little weasel who does weird shit and says weird shit, and nobody can deny it.
This is unkind to weasels. They’re adorable, mischievous, and perfect. Vance is a gremlin. A bridge troll.
The perjoritive not the slender fuzzi boi.
“Poll”itics
Cause Vance is freakin’ weird!
Conservatism is fucking weird. They spend their lives obsessed with gender, race, and children like a communicable disease of narcissistic pedo psychopathy.
As a millennial bridging the zoomers and boomers I think what Walz really meant to say is Conservatism is cringe. If Republicans were savvy they could flip the weird narrative and embrace it because weird can be good but fortunately they are not. Can’t flip cringe.
Trump & Friends are cringe, gross, and absurd to me.
glares in Gen X
Classic Gen X’er… Boomer-lite hahaha. Ok sorry that was too far.
Y’all forgot we even existed, and now you deign to throw shade?
Gen x doesnt exist, they’re either boomers or millennials.
Depends on how cool they are.

Conservatives value conformity, which is why ‘weird’ works so well to insult them.
It’s only insulting because they believe it is; call most leftists weird and they’ll probably say something like “Yeah I’m weird, fuck normal.”
You know that’s a great point! Conformity essential to being with the in-group of conservatives. That shifts my view substantially on this.
But they can’t flip that narrative, it’s anathema to them. Between the “silent majority” bullshit and their fake idealized past (women and minorities knew their place, queer folks would get the queer beaten out of them) they cling to the idea that their view is correct and how things should be.
And they’re always misquoting the Constitution and the Bible.
