JD Vance’s approval rating has slipped and in just two months he is already the most disliked vice president in United States history, and that was before signalgate.
Vance was among several Trump cabinet members and administration officials who participated in an unsecured Signal group chat. In the group, they discussed sensitive planned military strikes with a journalist who was mistakenly added to the chat by national security advisor Mike Waltz.
In the chat, Vance broke with Trump on the strike against Houthi targets in Yemen. He called the timing of the operation a “mistake,” adding, “I am not sure the president is aware how inconsistent this is with his message in Europe right now.”
Vance was also involved in the infamous Oval Office meeting where he led the attack against Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in late February.
Here are the latest polls showing JD Vance’s approval rating.
What is JD Vance approval rating?
- A YouGov poll conducted between March 22 and March 25 showed Vance with a 45 percent approval rating and 51 percent disapproval rating.
- The Ipsos poll from March 11-12 showed Vance 10 points underwater with 40 percent of Americans approving of his job as VP and 50 percent disapproving.
- The NBC News poll taken a week before, between March 7-11, showed 41 percent approval for Vance and 47 percent disapproval.
- The March 6-10 Quinnipiac poll showed just 39 percent of Americans approving of Vance’s performance as VP, while 48 percent disapprove.
- A CNN poll with data from March 6-9 showed similar result: 39 percent approval and 49 percent disapproval.
According to Real Clear Polling averages, Vance has a 41.7 percent approval rating and a 44.9 percent disapproval rating, which means he is 3.2 percent underwater. But, looking at only the results of polls taken in March, after his clash with Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, JD Vance approval rating is even more dire.
With just results taken in March, Vance’s approval rating stands at 42.4 percent and 48 percent disapproval. That gives him a net approval rating of negative 5.6 percent.
No modern vice president has been dislike this much at just two months into a new administration including his predecessor, former Vice President Kamala Harris, who Vance baselessly accused of routinely consuming “four shots of vodka before every meeting.”
