Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : It will involve the biggest television and online audience either No. 2 will see before Election Day.
48% : Expect the running mates to spend considerable time trying to convince the dwindling slice of persuadable voters that their ticket is more in tune with most U.S. households' day-to-day economic concerns.As much as the debate is about Harris and Trump, the running mates got here in no small part because of their respective biographies.
42% : Both men have played up their small-town, middle-America credentials -- contrasts to Trump, the billionaire native New Yorker, and Harris, the California Bay Area native.
42% : Many Republicans now want to go beyond state bans and place federal restrictions on the procedure, but Trump has indicated that overturning Roe is enough.
38% : The Walzes and Vances are more traditional political families than those of the presidential nominees: Harris has adult stepchildren from her decade-old marriage to Doug Emhoff; Trump has five children from three marriages.
28% : Trump brags about appointing conservatives who helped strike down Roe and return abortion regulation to state governments.
28% : Vance often offers clearer arguments than Trump about boosting American manufacturing, helping workers and punishing corporations.
24% : "Vance and Trump, on the other hand, have struggled for a consistent message on abortion rights -- a reflection of how politically fraught the issue is for Republicans since support for abortion access has increased since the 2022 Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and end a woman's constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy.
22% : The author of the "Hillbilly Elegy" memoir who grew up in small-town Ohio, Vance has roots to match his economic populism in ways the billionaire Trump does not.
14% : In the June debate between Trump and Biden, CNN's Jake Tapper and Dana Bash limited follow-up questions and did not fact check either participant.
13% : Vance said in August that Trump would veto a national ban if it cleared Congress.
5% : In the September debate between Trump and Harris, ABC's David Muir and Linsey Davis interjected with matter-of-fact corrections to some of Trump's most glaring misstatements.
