The August 2012 Pew Research Center report on the U.S. presidential campaign highlights key findings regarding public opinion. A plurality viewed Paul Ryan's selection as vice president negatively, with most rating it only fair or poor. The Medicare voucher plan remained unpopular, facing more opposition than support. Meanwhile, Joe Biden's performance as vice president was also rated poorly by a majority. Public attitudes prioritized maintaining Social Security and Medicare benefits over deficit reduction, showing strong resistance to altering benefits. Comparisons indicate Ryan's selection drew less positive feedback than past vice-presidential picks, but awareness was lower. These trends underscore the campaign's contentious issues around entitlements and vice-presidential choices.
