A look at Texans' Views of Vance and Walz as the VP Debate Looms
September 23, 2024 | By: Joshua Blank

The vice presidential candidates – Republican J.D. Vance and Democrat Tim Walz – will get their evening to shine next week as they participate in what is likely to be their only debate of the 2024 campaign at 8:00 PM Central Time on Tuesday evening, October 1. The August 2024 University of Texas/Texas Politics Project poll was fielded after the announcement of both vice presidential picks, and included items assessing the extent to which Texas voters hold favorable, or unfavorable opinions of each. For a deep dive into these results, including among different subgroups, you can look more closely at the Vance and Walz results. We've reproduced some of those results below, including among key subgroups in the electorate for quick reference in the run-up to next week's debate.
