Kam a net negative in approval

The polls have not been kind to Vice President Kamala Harris of late, with the RealClearPolitics average of surveys now putting her at an underwater favorability of 44.3 percent — notably lower than her unfavorability of 46.3.

The slump in satisfaction with the veep comes after several weeks of tough news cycles surrounding her handling of the border crisis and reports of disharmony and dysfunction in her office.

Harris’ numbers lag way behind those of her boss, President Biden, who boasts a 51.8 percent approval rate, compared with 42.8 percent who disapprove of his job performance according to the RCP average.

In the most recent poll, a YouGov survey, only 18-to-29-yearolds had a more positive than negative view of the vice president, while all other age groups had more detractors than supporters.

Last month, Harris finally took a trip near the US border with Mexico after weeks of hesitation that featured testy exchanges with reporters who wondered why the person put in charge of the border crisis response by Biden was not going there.
