Now that voters have seen more of Vice President Kamala Harris, her establishment media-driven momentum has clearly subsided.
No wonder her handlers kept her hidden for so long.
According to a Gallup poll conducted Sept. 3-15, voters have less favorable views of the vice president than they did in the immediate aftermath of the Democratic Party coup that torpedoed President Joe Biden’s re-election bid in July and made Harris the party’s presidential nominee.
Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump has surged and now once again enjoys the same favorable rating he had in June.
Trump’s rating, in fact, has increased by five points since August.
On the other hand, Harris’s post-coup “bump in favorability,” as Gallup put it, has “moderated somewhat.”
In a poll published on Aug. 22, Gallup showed the vice president with a favorable rating of 47 percent.
