Both of these polls came out in late July. They furthermore indicate that, like President Biden, Vice President Harris’ disapproval numbers lead her approval numbers. Even more women in America have an unfavorable than favorable outlook on Harris.
A liability for the Democrat Party
Democrats are heading into the 2022 midterms with the hopes of keeping and growing their very thin majorities in the Senate and House of Representatives. This therefore raises questions about whether Harris’ involvement in campaigning for Democrats would help or hurt them.
One left-wing strategist believes that Harris lacks the necessary standing to be an asset for Democrats in congressional elections. Even allies to the vice president are stating that she’s made several mistakes and generated a fair amount of bad press.
There are also concerns about the 2024 presidential election. If President Biden is not up to run for another term, the expectation will largely fall on Harris to run. With that said, there are still Democrats with reservations about whether or not Harris would beat a GOP candidate in the next presidential election.
