While I was in Italy, I caught a news report that Vice President Kamala Harris was wildly unpopular among potential voters and a drag on the Democrats’ 2024 ticket.

With voter concern about President Joe Biden’s age haunting his chances of reelection, a new poll shows his next in line, Vice President Kamala Harris, facing serious doubts about her ability to win the presidency herself, or to perform the job well were she to inherit it.

The POLITICO/Morning consult poll reveals that only a third of voters think it’s likely Harris would win an election were she to become the Democratic nominee, and just three of five Democrats believe she would prevail. A quarter of independents think she would win.

That skepticism extends to her potential future role as the head of her party. Forty-two percent of voters described her as a strong leader, including three-quarters of Democrats but only a third of independents.

However, I have come to doubt everything presented as “fact” and “news” related to this administration. Is she really that unpopular, or is there push-polling or other motivations behind these reports?
