Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : Governors of both parties who are mentioned as having higher aspirations have launched PACs as a way to raise their stock.
51% : After vanquishing his Republican challenger, former Attorney General Daniel Cameron, in a state dominated by the GOP that Trump won by about 24 points in 2020, Beshear's name was immediately elevated as a possible vice presidential or presidential prospect.
48% : Youngkin was heavily recruited by conservative donors late last year to join the 2024 GOP primary race, but he ultimately declined after his party failed to seize state legislative majorities.
48% : Youngkin is also rated as more popular than Trump, who holds a commanding lead to return as the GOP nominee for president.

44% : When Trump ripped him days before the election, for example, Beshear pivoted to discuss Kentucky's economy and infrastructure when asked by a reporter for his response.
