Kamala Harris Polls Worse Than Any Vice President Since 1995

Vice President Kamala Harris is failing to impress Americans in a way not seen with her predecessors ever since Al Gore was in the White House.

A poll conducted this month shows 32% of registered voters have a positive view of the Democrat while 49% have a negative view of her. The resulting net-negative rating of -17 is “the lowest for any vice president in the poll’s history,” NBC News reported on Monday. It also noted that 39% have a “very negative” view of Harris.

Showing its math for judging this the worst rating in more than two decades, the news outlet looked back at surveys dating back to 1995. The only other president to have a negative split, Mike Pence, was at 34% positive and 38% negative in October 2019 for a -4 rating. President Joe Biden barely made it into positive territory. In December 2010, his rating as vice president was 34% positive and 33% negative, creating a +1 split.

Dick Cheney fared better in May 2003 with a +23 split arising from a 47% positive rating and a 24% negative rating. The furthest back in time that NBC News looked was March 1995, when Gore scored a 42% positive rating and 27% negative rating, resulting in a +15 split.

Harris, a former attorney general of California and U.S. senator, is the first woman to be vice president, as well as the first black American and first South Asian American to hold the office.
