Kamala Harris receives strong marks as Joe Biden's VP: POLL
Sen. Kamala Harris steps into her new role as Joe Biden's vice presidential nominee on a relative high note. Harris receives strong marks as the pick and Biden receives credit for choosing the California senator, as she is the only contender across both presidential tickets who enjoys a net positive favorability rating, according to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll released Thursday.
Two in three Americans in the new survey, which was conducted using Ipsos' KnowledgePanel, are familiar enough with her to form an opinion, and among those who do, she's viewed slightly more positively than negatively -- a significant accomplishment at a moment of deep political divide and animosity towards the nation's leaders.
Harris, who is less well-known than the three men, has a favorability rating of 35%, while 31% view her unfavorably. Her favorability soars to 71% among Democrats.
That number among Black Americans, a core constituency of the party's base, stands at 52% but a large portion, roughly 40%, doesn't know enough about her to rate her or had no opinion of her.
