Now that the dust has settled from the vice presidential debate, a clear winner has emerged. That winner happens to be Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who is Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate. The post-debate polls show that an even split of voters think either Walz or Vance won, basically making it a draw. But when the polls get broken down further, the partisan split goes away and a big majority of Independent voters give the victory to Walz and they approve of him far more than they did JD Vance. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Now that the dust has settled from the vice presidential debate, which of course is going to be the last debate we get this election cycle. Um, the polls that have come out since the debate show a very clear winner, except when they don't show a very clear winner. The polls are a little confusing right now, folks, because in all of the snap polls taken since the debate, they show an even split. The same amount of people say JD Vance won as say, governor. Tim Waz won. So nobody emerged as the winner, except that Tim Walls actually did emerge as the winner. It sounds crazy, right? But that's the way these polls break down because most people are only looking at the polls like that top line number who won the debate was Advance or was it Walls? And everybody split on that. And honestly, I was too, I'm not gonna lie.
I know that Vance lied his face off, but I'm trying to look at it through a lens of somebody who doesn't know anything about politics and those people watching that debate who don't know that the lies are coming nonstop from Vance probably look at it and say, yeah, it's about even, and that is what the polls prove. So I'm right about that. But when you dig deeper into the polls, when you start looking at the individual numbers here, you see that 10 walls absolutely crushed it and got a massive boost following that debate. First, let me read you the stupid numbers.
A flash poll conducted by CNN and SSRS said 51% said Vance one 49% said walls, one margin of error was five and 5.3%, which is a huge, totally unreliable margin of error. CBS Flash poll, 42% said Vance 41% said walls 2.7% margin of error. Politico Snap poll of the debate was literally 50 50. But that's where we start looking at the other numbers because in that same Politico 50 50 poll, yes, he won, no, he won Walls was seen as having one with independence, 58% to 42%. He was also preferred as vice president by 44% of independence with 36% choosing Vance. So when you strip away the partisan numbers, because Democrats are gonna say Walls won, Republicans are gonna say, Vance won. When you get rid of that and get down to the people who don't know who they're gonna vote for, they overwhelmingly by huge majorities pick walls. That's the important number. That's the bump. But in that CNN poll I mentioned, they go deeper. The Minnesota governor saw a 23 point boost in his favorability ratings going up from plus 14
To plus 37. Meanwhile, JD Vance actually did see a 19 point boost in his favorability going from negative 22 to negative three. So Vance's approval rating did improve, but it's still underwater. Meanwhile, Tim Walls has a plus 37% favorability rating. He is literally the most popular person in the race right now. He is the only one with a, a positive approval rating out of Harris Trump and Vance only Walls is loved by everybody. Like, and that's how you gotta say it. Like he's just loved. It's such such a good guy. And for the record, I wanna clear something up, uh, that I mentioned in the post of eight video that I did when, uh, walls said that he had befriended school shooters. I do wanna make it clear, because I didn't say this at the time. I still think it was a very horrible thing to say, but he was misspeaking, okay?
