NEW POLL: Kamala Harris’ Popularity Soars 8 Points in Single Week — Now Has +1 Favorability Rating Compared to Trump’s -16

 

The popularity of Vice President Kamala Harris has surged, while former President Donald Trump’s has simultaneously fallen — a new poll has found.

According to a survey put out Sunday by ABC News/Ipsos, the vice president’s popularity skyrocketed 8 points in just one week. In all, 43 percent of respondents said they view Harris favorably, compared to 42 who view her unfavorably. Just last week, the same poll pegged the vice presdient’s favorability at 35 percent, compared to 46 unfavorability.

And while Harris is now above water in the poll, Trump is very much underwater. The former president — who reached a 4-year high of 40 percent in the poll last week — is now back down to 36 percent. His unfavorable rating, meanwhile, now stands at 52 percent — a -16 spread, compared to the vice president’s +1.

And the news is no better for Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH). The poll found just 24 percent have a favorable opinion of the GOP vice presidential nominee, compared to 39 percent who have an unfavorable view.

In a number that surely matters less to Democrats than it did a week ago, President Joe Biden’s favorability also rose 5 points to 37 percent.
