Kamala Harris Approval Ratings: A Detailed Look
Current Favorability and National Primary Averages
According to data from FiveThirtyEight, as of April 23, 39% of registered voters have a favorable opinion of Vice President Kamala Harris, while 55% have an unfavorable opinion, resulting in a net rating of -16 percentage points.
Factors Influencing Harris's Approval Ratings
Vice President Harris's approval numbers have fluctuated since President Joe Biden's performance at the first presidential debate, which has been cited as a contributing factor. A survey conducted by YouGov for The Economist between July 13 and 16 found that 39% of registered voters approved of Harris's performance.
It's worth noting that Harris's approval rating is currently identical to Biden's approval rating at the same point in his vice presidency in 2009. This suggests that Harris's approval ratings may be influenced by broader political factors, such as the current economic climate and the state of the COVID-19 pandemic.
As Harris continues her tenure as vice president, it remains to be seen how her approval ratings will evolve. The data from FiveThirtyEight and other sources will provide valuable insights into the public's perception of her performance and its potential impact on the 2024 presidential election.
