Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : "On Tuesday night, Vance offered the clearest recognition yet from the Republican ticket that his party is out of step with the American people on this issue -- 63 percent of Americans believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases -- and Trump, watching from afar and weighing in on social media, appeared to agree.
50% : Abortion was hardly the only issue on which Vance offered a gauzy -- and at times distorted -- portrait of the Trump-Vance platform.
41% : He repeatedly praised Trump's leadership on the Affordable Care Act, despite his years of trying to repeal it, and touted the protections in place to protect people with preexisting conditions -- people protected by the very act Trump unsuccessfully worked to overturn.
32% : Toward the end of the debate, he refused to acknowledge that Trump lost the election in 2020, a reminder of the revisionist history the Republican ticket has embraced.
22% : Trump has repeatedly taken credit for the fall of Roe v. Wade.
22% : "In many ways, Vance offered a redo of the debate his campaign wished Trump had executed against Harris in their debate faceoff last month, largely refusing to get distracted and keeping his focus squarely trained on the vice president.
