He narrowed the gap everywhere. I dont think an election where the incumbent has sub-40% approval is really going to be indicative of much. I wouldn't say this is a highwater mark for the GOP - they could win in 2028 and do well enough that Vance or whoever is highly popular in 2032.

Also - VA and NJ ended up being a bit above 5%.

I don't agree; imo Trump is unique in his vote getting abilities and even he is going to obtain less than 50% when all votes are counted; imo Vance will never lead the ticket (unless Trump dies in office)

Ehhhh I would not rule out Vance as the nominee. He's going to be Trump's pitbull and build up a lot of cred among the base. There also aren't any strong alternatives; DeSantis is a paper tiger. Haley's career with the GOP is dead. MAYBE Kemp manages to bob and weave enough if Trump leaves offices near W Bush approval levels (which I think is highly possible).
