Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Stephen Sutton, 78, a registered Republican who lives in Upper Bucks County and participated in the poll, is supporting Trump in the upcoming election, but said he believes Shapiro is doing an OK job as governor.
42% : And his popularity helped make him a top contender for Harris' running mate, before she ultimately chose Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be her No. 2.
41% : Lisa Crosier, 58, of Washington, said she plans to support Trump in November, but said she thinks Shapiro is doing a good job leading the state."Kamala Harris missed an opportunity," Crosier added.
38% : "If Harris had chosen Shapiro as her running mate, it wouldn't have changed Sutton's mind about voting for Trump, he added, because any vice president would be a "smoke screen.""If I really thought she was picking somebody that was going to do some good and have input, then I might have a different take," he added.
