In March, a Redfield & Wilton Strategies poll found that only 35 percent of voters approve of Harris, while a survey from Suffolk University/USAToday showed only 36 percent of voters approving of her. There were 46 percent and 52 percent, respectively, who said they disapproved of the vice president.
Harris is particularly well-liked among Black voters, the new Echelon poll shows. Nearly seven-in-10 Black voters view her favorably, compared with fewer than half of Hispanic and Asian voters. Fewer than four-in-10 white voters have favorable views of Harris.
Her highest rating was 43% while the others had her in the mid 30s. Not doing well with Hispanics and Asians.
So overall she is polling worse than Biden.
Harris may still be quiet valuable to the ticket as she’s been championing women’s reproductive rights and that’s clearly been a winning issue for the democrats across the country. That really has to be her main focus leading up to the election.
The fact that she’s still polling well with African American voters shows that it could have caused major problems if the party tried to push her aside and back someone like Newsom, if Biden decided not to run.
The Dems need an huge turnout from women and black voters. Overall I think Harris is still a positive for the party.
I’m curious to see how Trump approaches his VP pick. Is he just going to go for a lap dog from the lunatic Freedom Caucus or would they dare choose a more moderate candidate to appeal to undecided voters.
