Donald Trump’s upcoming vice-presidential pick attracts attention and speculation daily. If a new poll for The Post is any indication, it’s likely to be much ado about nothing. The poll, conducted by YouGov, asked respondents a host of questions about Trump’s possible picks. It also asked whether his selection might affect their chances of voting for Trump and what criteria they’d like the former president to consider when making his choice. Almost everyone on Trump’s list comes with either mild positives or no problematic negatives. Someone who hurts you with your base and doesn’t attract the center is not a good choice. It’s also clear that selection won’t really matter to voters anyway. Sixty-two percent said the pick would have no effect on their vote, while only 10% of respondents said the pick’s identity could make them more or less likely to vote for Trump. Presidential elections may be fought as a ticket, but ultimately voters decide to choose the person at the top.
