Recent polls indicate that many voters are still forming their opinions about vice-presidential candidates, but history suggests debates rarely impact voting outcomes.
Over the last six presidential election cycles, there was only one significant shift in national polls post vice-presidential debate, which was just a 1.2-point change in 2000.
Analysis shows that vice-presidential candidates generally have a minor effect on voter decisions, but debates can increase voter familiarity with these politicians.
The 2020 vice-presidential debate between Harris and Pence highlighted that voter intention remained unchanged, demonstrating the limited influence of such debates.
