A columnist for the Los Angles Time, California’s largest daily newspaper, and the hometown paper for Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris, declared Sunday.
“After a history-making ascent to the vice presidency and a humbling descent into mockery and disdain following her rocky start, Harris finally seems to have found her footing in a role to which she is accustomed and adept: prosecuting attorney,” columnist Mark Barabak writes about Harris, the state’s former attorney general.
Harris has been on a national tour, amid her and President Joe Biden’s reelection bid, to make know to voters that abortion rights are central to their campaign and to get voter to go to the polls in November to vote Biden-Harris to protect such rights.
“She’s become a top fundraiser for Democrats, an emissary to groups that are lukewarm toward President Biden — in particular Black and younger voters — and emerged as the administration’s most forceful voice on abortion, women’s health and, as Harris frames it, the threat [likely GOP presidential nominee Donald] Trump poses to freedom and individual choice.
However, according to the FiveThirtyEight.com tracker poll, Harris’ vote approval rating in at 37.5%, about 1.5 percentage points higher than her record low in November 2023 of 36%.
Harris’ rating has steadily decline from 48% in May 2021, several months after she took office, also according to FiveThirtyEight.com
