When we ask Biden supporters whom they think he should select as the Democratic nominee for vice president, the gap between Harris and Warren and the other choices has narrowed since late June. Harris is down 6 points to 19 percent and Warren is down 4 points to 19 percent, while others have gained, especially former UN ambassador Susan Rice (11%; 5-point increase) and Senator Tammy Duckworth, a Democrat from Illinois (8%; 3-point increase).
As YouGov’s analysis of the June data showed, the gap in choices correlates strongly to familiarity with the candidates. Among those currently supporting Biden over Trump, the favorable ratings of Warren (76%) and Harris (70%) are higher than those of lesser known potential running mates Stacey Abrams, a former gubernatorial candidate in Georgia (59%), Duckworth (58%) and Rice (50%).
