CNN Analyst Says JD Vance’s Unpopularity Limits Midterm Campaign Value

Screengrab/CNN CNN’s Harry Enten has warned that JD Vance is of little use to Republicans on the midterm campaign trail because of how deeply unpopular he is.

Speaking on Monday’s News Central , Enten, the network’s chief data analyst, said Vance is “by far” the least popular Republican vice president at this point in his term.

Vance has become more active on the campaign trail , where Republicans are desperately trying to stave off a predicted electoral wipeout on Nov.

On Monday night, Vance appeared at an event for North Carolina Republican Senate candidate Michael Whatley, whom Republicans have all but accepted will lose to Democratic candidate Roy Cooper on Nov.

The same night, Donald Trump appeared at a campaign rally in Kansas, where GOP Sen.

Roger Marshall is in a tighter midterm race against Democratic candidate Adam Hamilton.

News Central host John Berman said Vance was “putting his own political capital on the line” in the midterm elections before Enten laid out just how unpopular the vice president has become.

“You go back to the beginning of his vice presidency, he was three points above water.

Hey, three points, You’re on the positive side of the ledger,” Enten said.

“But down he goes in the Lake Erie—to use a nice body of water in his home state—to minus 15 points.

That’s a switcheroo, Johnny B, of 18 points in the wrong direction.” Enten added that Vance’s numbers among crucial independent voters have also plummeted, falling from zero points when he entered office to minus 30 points.

Enten then revealed that Vance’s current net favorable rating of minus 15 points is the lowest of any first-term vice president at this stage in decades.
