A CBS/YouGov poll released on Monday ahead of the vice-presidential debate between Tim Walz and JD Vance tonight found that voters specifically want the duo to debate immigration and economic policies – two of the top election issues this year.

In contrast, the poll showed that voters have little desire to hear details about the two candidates’ personal lives and families or comparisons of their military records.
