WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Many in Wisconsin may celebrate the selection of Rep. Paul Ryan as the Republican nominee for Vice President. But a new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll shows the rest of the nation may not be as ready to cheer for Ryan and his entry into the race.
The new poll shows Ryan is seen as only a "fair" or "poor" choice by 42% of Americans -- while 39% think he is an "excellent" or "pretty good" vice presidential choice.
The USA TODAY/Gallup Poll also finds 48% of Americans view Ryan as qualified to be president if something should happen to Romney, while 29% do not and 23% were undecided.
The poll of 1,006 adults was taken Sunday. It has a margin of error of +/- 4 percentage points.
GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney introduced Rep. Ryan as his running mate nominee on Saturday, August 11th.
