Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : The closeness of the race between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris means that any impact, even a small one, could help either of the presidential tickets to win the election a month from now.
21% : This debate may also hold more significance to voters because there has only been one debate between Harris and Trump so far -- usually, there are about three debates between presidential candidates leading up to the election.
11% : In addition to pushing racist lies about Haitian immigrants in his home state -- which he has admitted to "creating" in order to stir up anti-immigrant sentiment to help him and Trump politically -- Vance has promoted a number of false conspiracy theories, including wrongly alleging that the 2020 presidential election was "stolen" from Trump, and bogusly claiming that there is a federal government plot to kill rural conservative voters using fentanyl.
