Vance's current favourable-unfavourable rating is 41.7 per cent to 44.8 per cent, according to the poll.&nbsp;
It shows a net unfavourable rating of -3.1 percentage points for Vance, The Mirror US reported.

This poll comes weeks after Trump was asked if he sees Vance as his successor, to which the US president replied, "No, but is he very capable. I mean, I don&rsquo;t think that you know, I think you have a lot of very capable people. So far, I think he is doing a fantastic job. It&rsquo;s too early. We are just starting."
As opposed to Vance, Kamala Harris began her tenure (2021-2025) with favourability often above unfavourable in early 2021, peaking near 50 per cent, though it later fell to a low of -16 percent.&nbsp;
