Vice President Kamala Harris is gaining more popularity among Democrats and Americans overall, according to a recent poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. The poll shows that 48% of U.S. adults have a favorable view of Harris, up from 39% earlier this summer. This increase in favorability is a positive sign for Harris as she heads into the Democratic National Convention.
Harris’ favorability ratings have improved over the past few months, with more Americans forming opinions about her. The number of people who say they don’t know enough about her to have an opinion has decreased from 12% to 6%. This suggests that Harris is becoming more well-known and liked by the public.
Among certain groups, Harris’ favorability has increased even more. She has seen a rise in favorability among Democrats, independents, women, and young adults under 30. However, there has been no significant change in favorability among Black adults or Hispanic adults.
Despite the increase in favorability, Harris still faces challenges. White men, especially those without a college degree, have a negative view of her. To win in November, Harris will need to work on appealing to these groups and limiting Trump’s support among them.
Overall, Harris has a strong base of support among Black adults and women, particularly those with a college degree. Her authenticity and focus on important issues like access to abortion have resonated with voters like Brian Mowrer, a former Republican who plans to vote for Harris in the upcoming election.
As Harris continues to campaign and define her candidacy, it will be interesting to see how her favorability ratings evolve and whether she can overcome the challenges she faces with certain groups of voters. Stay updated with the latest news by joining our Newsletter.
