Americans Split on Kamala Harris as Potential Presidential Replacement
Poll Shows Mixed Results on Vice President's Approval Ratings
Amidst growing concerns about President Joe Biden's age and fitness for a second term, a recent poll has revealed a split in public opinion regarding Vice President Kamala Harris as a potential replacement.
Harris's Approval Ratings
The poll, conducted by the Pew Research Center, found that 47% of Americans approve of the job Harris is doing as Vice President, while 42% disapprove. These numbers have remained relatively stable over the past year.
Harris's approval ratings are somewhat lower than Biden's, who currently has a 53% approval rating. However, she fares better than former Vice President Mike Pence, who had a 43% approval rating at this point in his term.
Electability in 2024
The poll also asked respondents if they would prefer Biden or Harris as the Democratic nominee for President in 2024. 46% of registered voters said they would prefer Biden, while 41% said they would prefer Harris.
These results suggest that Harris would be a competitive candidate in a presidential election, although she would likely face an uphill battle against a Republican challenger.
Conclusion
The poll's findings indicate that Americans are divided on their views of Kamala Harris as a potential presidential candidate. While she has a strong approval rating, it is still lower than Biden's, and her electability in 2024 remains uncertain.
As the 2024 presidential campaign approaches, Harris's performance as Vice President will be closely scrutinized, and her approval ratings will likely play a significant role in determining whether she emerges as a viable contender for the Democratic nomination.
