A new UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll found California voters evenly spit on Vice President Kamala Harris, not good for someone who served as the state's senator and attorney general
Politicians with White House ambitions who don’t have strong support in their home state probably should not run for president.
Biden will run and Harris will be on the Democratic ticket again. And regardless of whether the president wins or loses, the 58-year-old Veep will automatically be seen as an early front-runner for the party’s nomination in 2028. It was bad news for Harris. It showed that she leaves a lot of home state voters cold — and not just Republicans, but many independents who represent 23% of the electorate.
Among Democrats, 56% would be enthusiastic, but 63% of independents would not. Black voters were the only major demographic group that expressed enthusiasm. Most significant, impressions of Harris have dropped sharply across the board since she became vice president — by 10 percentage points among all voters, 11 points among Democrats and 16 among independents. Black voters view Harris favorably, but their image of her has fallen by nine points.Meanwhile, Biden’s job rating in California has risen to 57% approval, up 10 points in the last year. So, Harris isn’t being dragged down by her boss.
