Despite a strong showing in the 2020 election, Vice President Kamala Harris’ popularity appears to be waning in North Carolina. A recent poll conducted by the Washington Examiner found that her approval rating has dropped significantly in a state that she and President Joe Biden narrowly won last year.
Among likely voters in the battleground state, only 45% view Harris favorably, while 48% have an unfavorable opinion of her. This marks a significant decline from earlier in the year when Harris had a positive approval rating in North Carolina.
The poll also found that Harris is facing backlash from independent voters in North Carolina, with only 30% expressing a favorable view of the Vice President. This could be concerning for the Biden administration as independents are seen as a key demographic in swing states like North Carolina.
There are several possible reasons for Harris’ declining popularity in the state. Some critics cite her handling of the border crisis and lack of action on key issues like voting rights and infrastructure. Others point to her perceived lack of charisma or ability to connect with voters.
Regardless of the reasons, the poll results serve as a wake-up call for the Harris administration. As they continue to face challenges both domestically and internationally, maintaining public support will be crucial for their success.
Overall, the honeymoon period for Vice President Harris in North Carolina appears to be fading. It will be interesting to see how the administration responds to these poll results and works to regain the trust and approval of voters in a key battleground state.
