WASHINGTON (AP) — As President Joe Biden faces a growing drumbeat of pressure to drop his reelection bid, a majority of Democrats think his vice president would make a good president herself.

A new poll from the AP-NORC Center found that about 6 in 10 Democrats believe Kamala Harris would do a good job in the top slot. About 2 in 10 Democrats don’t believe she would, and another 2 in 10 say they don’t know enough to say.

As for Americans more broadly, they are more skeptical of how Harris would perform in the Oval Office. Only about 3 in 10 U.S. adults overall say Harris would do well as president. About half say Harris would not do a good job in the role, and 2 in 10 say they don’t know enough to say.

The poll showed that about 4 in 10 U.S. adults have a favorable opinion of Harris, while about half have an unfavorable opinion.

Harris is more popular among Black Americans than she is among white or Hispanic adults. She is more disliked by men than she is by women.

If true...then that majority are intellectually challenged and likely mentally ill.

"Democrats are stupid, and frequently evil as well."

That's like saying "the sun is frequently warm" or "water is frequently wet" or "1 + 1 is frequently 2".

[Drew68]

What else are they going to say?

[goodnesswins]

Well...she represents the MORON constituency, that is for sure.

[xp38]

Put them in a locked room with an endless loop of her talking and we might get a different point of view.

[teeman8r]

compared to the veggie, sure.

[null and void]

Wow, just wow.

[rdcbn1]

Well, a majority of Democrats also think Joe Biden is doing a great job.

She would be even better if she wore a Carmen Miranda Fruit hat all the time while she’s giggling and jiggling. I’m hopin’ Biden selects “Rachel Levine” and “Sam Brinton” for their ticket. Pink yard signs sure beats all that red, white and blue.

Goofy the dog could run against Trump and they’d vote for him.

[null and void]

Democrats are stupid, and frequently evil as well.

Did you mean:
Democrats are evil, and frequently stupid as well.

The Socialist Tentacle of the Dung Beetle Party turd rollers.

[FrankRizzo890]

There is NO WAY this is true.

[1Old Pro]

It’s going to be Kamala. The tricky part is pretending that her VP will be a choice, not a backroom arrangement.

[null and void]

Dem voters are stupid, Dem leadership is evil.

That's what I mean to say...

[null and void]

‘sok, she’s used to back door arrangements...

[CodeJockey]

Not buying it. Initially I was of the opinion that Harris would have to be next in line because of here race/gender and being VP.

But knowing how conniving and desperate the deep state is, they'll drop Harris like a used rubber if they believe she is unelectable.

[chopperk]

Why set the bar so low? Kam would need 3 hours a day to load up on pot so she could function.

[willk]

They know the same leftist people will be pulling the strings.

[goodnesswins]

Isn’t VP ALWAYS a backroom arrangement?
