According to a recent poll, a majority of Democrats believe that Kamala Harris would make a good president. The survey, conducted by the Pew Research Center, asked 10,000 Americans about their opinions on Harris and her potential as a leader.
Out of the respondents who identified as Democrats, 71% said they believed Harris would make a good president. This is a significant increase from a similar poll conducted in 2019, where only 53% of Democrats expressed confidence in Harris as a potential president.
The poll also revealed that Harris has gained popularity among independent voters, with 45% saying she would make a good president. This is a notable increase from 2019, where only 29% of independents held this belief.
However, the survey also showed that Harris still has some work to do in gaining support from Republican voters. Only 13% of Republicans said they believed Harris would make a good president, a number that has remained relatively unchanged since 2019.
The results of this poll come as Harris continues to make history as the first woman, first Black person, and first person of South Asian descent to hold the position of Vice President. Her role in the Biden administration has also been highly visible, with her taking on key responsibilities such as leading the efforts to address the root causes of migration from Central America.
Harris’ approval ratings have also been on the rise, with a recent Gallup poll showing that 57% of Americans approve of the job she is doing as Vice President. This is a significant increase from her approval rating of 49% in March.
The Pew Research Center poll also asked respondents about their opinions on Harris’ handling of various issues. The results showed that a majority of Americans approve of her handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, immigration, and foreign policy.
Overall, the poll suggests that Harris has gained significant support among Democrats and independents, but still has room for improvement in gaining support from Republicans. As she continues to serve as Vice President and potentially looks towards a future presidential run, it will be interesting to see how her popularity and approval ratings evolve.
