New polling shared with Semafor shows Democrats’ attacks on J.D. Vance’s views on abortion, divorce and “childless cat ladies” are sticking with voters.
“A pair of surveys by Blueprint, the centrist Democratic pollster backed by Reid Hoffman, one taken July 21 – July 22, two days after Vance was announced as Donald Trump’s running mate, and then again two weeks later on August 4, showed Vance’s net favorability falling from -7 to -11 with fewer voters unsure either way.”
