Vice President Kamala Harris’ favorability ratings have jumped more than 16 points in a new NBC News poll since becoming the Democratic presidential candidate. According to a new NBC News poll, Harris’ favorability rating was at 32% with 50% having an unfavorable view of the vice president. The new survey shows her favorability rating has jumped 16 points to 48% and her unfavorables dropping to 45% – “the largest increase for any politician in NBC News polling since then-President George W. Bush’s standing surged after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.” The same poll shows Harris leading Donald Trump 49%-44% among registered voters. More from NBC News:
Harris also holds the advantage over Trump on being seen as competent and effective, as well as on having the mental and physical health to be president — a reversal from Trump’s leads on those qualities when he was matched up against Biden.
And in a contest between a sitting vice president and an ex-president, featuring an electorate that overwhelmingly thinks the U.S. is “on the wrong track,” Harris has the upper hand on which candidate better represents change and which candidate can get the country headed in the right direction.
Heartening news, but don’t let that slow the momentum down – make sure you get out and vote.
