Six months into the “Biden-Harris administration,” and a strong majority of Americans are shuddering at the prospect of it becoming the “Harris administration.”
The Trafalgar Group, which is earning a reputation as one of the most accurate pollsters around, found 64 percent of Americans lack confidence in Vice President Kamala Harris’ readiness to take over as president.
Among that group, 59 percent said they were “not confident at all.”
Conversely, 22 percent said they were “very confident” in her, while another 9 percent were “somewhat” confident in Harris’ abilities.
As expected, Republicans overwhelmingly are not hopeful for “President” Harris.
Eighty-eight percent gave Harris a vote of no confidence.
Democrats, of course, were more supportive. But it was close.
Among Harris’ own party, only 52 percent had faith in her ability to manage the presidency. Forty-two percent took a hard pass.
Among political independents, 61 percent were not confident, compared to 31 percent who are.
Among the respondents, a majority (53 percent) were women, while 39 percent were Democrats, compared to 36 percent Republicans and 25 percent independents.
Harris has been beset by scandal during her short time in the White House.
President Joe Biden made her “czar” over the border issue, and then she went more than three months before actually traveling to the Mexican border.
In recent days, a bevy of former and current staffers have gone public with descriptions of her office’s operations as demoralizing, dysfunctional and disheartening – a toxic “place where people feel treated like s—,” as one colorfully told Politico.
Harris also has taken on the role of cheerleader for COVID-19 vaccines when just nine months ago she was publicly saying she wouldn’t trust a vaccine touted by former President Donald Trump.
This week, John Velleco, executive vice president of Gun Owners of America, wrote a column in The Washington Times in which he noted the U.S. Supreme Court recently knocked down a California policy aggressively pursued by Harris when she served as the state’s attorney general to force conservative nonprofit groups to turn over confidential data.
