Turning Point Action Poll: J.D. Vance for VP, Border Crisis Top Priority
Attendees at Turning Point Action’s The People’s Convention this weekend have made their preferences clear that Ohio senator JD Vance is their top choice for Vice President, and that immigration is the leading issue they want to be addressed if former President Donald Trump wins the November election. 1986 respondents at The People’s Convention responded to the poll.
A straw poll conducted at the Detroit conference found that among a list of several finalists for Trump’s VP pick, JD Vance emerged as the preferred candidate with 43.0% of votes. Tim Scott followed with 15.4%, while Marco Rubio and Doug Burgum garnered 7.7% and 7.0% respectively. A notable 26.9% of participants remained undecided on their preferred candidate for the role.
The poll also included a number of policy-related questions. In terms of policy priorities, an overwhelming 83.3% of attendees indicated that immigration and border security should be the primary focus during the first 100 days of a potential Trump administration. Economic issues, including jobs, cost of living, and inflation, were identified by 14.0% of the respondents as the main priority. Only 2.7% felt that the war in Ukraine and foreign aid should take precedence.
