A new ABC News/Ipsos shows that Kamala Harris' net favorability is up 12 points since Joe Biden dropped out. It is now 43% favorable vs. 42% unfavorable. A week ago it was 35% favorable vs. 46% unfavorable. What a difference a week makes. Here are the net favorability numbers for her, Donald Trump, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), and Joe Biden:
| Person | Last Week | This Week | Net Change |
| Kamala Harris | -11% | +1% | +12 |
| Donald Trump | -11% | -16% | -5 |
| J.D. Vance | -6% | -15% | -9 |
| Joe Biden | -23% | -13% | +10 |
As you can see, both Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, especially Vance, have lost considerable ground in the past week. Vance could end up being a drag on the ticket with "miserable childless cat ladies" and perhaps other demographics. In contrast, Joe Biden made big gains. No doubt he got some respect for putting the country before his personal ambition. (V)
