Mexican Megachurch Leader Faces New Federal Charges Involving Child Pornography – USA Herald
Mike Pence faced negative polls
One of the key challenges Pence faced was his unfavorable public image. A poll by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research conducted in August revealed that 57% of U.S. adults viewed Pence negatively, with only 28% holding a positive view.
Pence’s campaign had set out to boost his recognition among voters, emphasizing the notion that he was “well-known but not known well.” He embarked on an aggressive campaign tour that included stops at diners and Pizza Ranch restaurants, aiming to connect with voters on a personal level.
His campaign strategy heavily relied on Iowa, a state with a significant white Evangelical population that has traditionally played a crucial role in elevating religious and socially conservative candidates. Pence’s emphasis on hard-line stances, particularly on issues like abortion, was aimed at winning over this voter base.
