The latest approval rating polls are out, and there’s bad news for Democrats who thought Kamala Harris would be the perfect partner for Sleepy & Sometimes/Always Confused Joe Biden. Things are so bad for Harris that there are rumblings by Democratic strategists that Harris could become a liability during the midterms, according to The Hill.
It gets worse. After six months of being Sleepy Joe’s handler, Kamala Harris is “viewed less favorably” than the president. Her unfavorable rating, according to Real Clear Politics, is at 46% while Biden’s is at 43%. In an Economist/YouGov poll released last week, Harris’ unfavorable rating hit a whopping 48%.
“As of right now, I think she has the potential of doing more harm than good for some of these candidates,” a Democratic strategist told The Hill. “My sense is she’ll probably raise a lot of money and maybe she’ll go to some specific districts, but they’ll have to be really strategic with her.”
“She doesn’t have the standing at this moment to go to a lot of these tighter districts.”
Mike Pence’s unfavorable rating at the same time in office was at 41.9%.
In a poll conducted by the Trafalgar Group from July 12-July 13, 58.6% of those polled said they weren’t confident at all in Kamala Harris being ready to be president. In total, 63.6% had no confidence in Harris assuming the presidency.
Harris, who’s been assigned to fix the border crisis, doesn’t exactly seem ready to do anything with a problem that seems to have exploded over the weekend when Fox News reporter Bill Melugin reported on a massive surge of migrants at the Mission, Texas entry point.
NEW: This is the largest group of migrants we’ve ever seen being held by Border Patrol under Anzalduas Bridge in Mission, TX. Looks like it could be up to 1,000 people. We can only get a look at the area with our drone. There’s a popular Rio Grande crossing area nearby. @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/AsAygsO966

What happened to the migrants who came to the border? Melugin reports they’ll be dispersed across the United States by a Catholic charity. Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar tweeted Saturday that “Our DHS agents, and border communities, are overwhelmed and must be prioritized.”
“Something has to change!” he added.
Cuellar and Sen. Lindsey Graham have called on Biden to appoint a “border czar” to deal with a problem that hasn’t been corrected by Harris, who made a trip this summer to El Paso for a photo op.
“They don’t need pats on the back. They need help down there on the border,” Cuellar said last week. “Something has to change when it comes to border immigration issues.”
Now just imagine Kamala Harris as president.
NEW: All morning long we’ve watched Border Patrol drop off multiple bus loads of migrants at a Catholic charity in downtown McAllen, where they are given food & shelter before they take buses and flights across the United States. Buses arriving every 30 minutes so far. @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/Yon4rpN3VZ

Our DHS agents, & border communities, are overwhelmed & must be prioritized. DHS will again encounter over 180,000 immigrants at the southern border during July—adding to the more than 1M immigrants that have arrived at the southern border in FY21. Something has to change! pic.twitter.com/VszU8txBEN

Even Willie Brown says she is a fraud… and she gave him all she really has to offer.
Not black, never oppressed, grew up in luxury…. it’s all an open lie.
Amen. She is half black, Jamaican, but she is certainly not an American black person. Grew up in privilege though and has never been oppressed at all.
She`s half black, but all fraud. Just like the rest of this ‘administration”.
There is a term – primarily in The South – of “Yellow Dog Democrat” …. those are Democrats who will vote for “an old yellow dog” if it is running as a Democrat. Kamala affirms that old stereotype…
Any “favorable rating” she received in that poll were from YDDs …
.
Heels-Up Harris has zero shot at the presidential nomination, even in her own state. Why is this a surprise?
Here is a hint DNC: no one like CCP Kamala, not even in your own party.
She was polling at 0% in HER OWN STATE after the surfer chick from Hawaiian mopped the floor with her
…she also accused then candidate Biden of being a racist sexual predator. But hey, all in good fun.
She’s never really been challenged in any of her other political offices. She won her senate seat by defeating another democrat. She keeps track of what reporters say about her. Her staff doesn’t appear to enamored with her. She was given the point position on the border crisis. It took her 90 plus days to go there. Her trip to the El Paso border station is analogous to going to Schaumburg to deal with the murder rate on the south side of Chicago. She was against the vaccine before she was for it. I’m sure in her own mind, she felt she would be co-president alongside the dithering
Biden. It hasn’t worked out the way she’d hoped. She’s the walking definition of a political liability who during the primary didn’t even win her own state.
Who is surprised by this? She only got the job because of 2 qualifications, one physical and one visual. Not because of brains.
Even the dems don’t like this annoying broad in the primary she garnered like 1% or something like that a real cacklefest
Her campaign was over before any Votes were cast… yet she became VP on ZERO pressing media interviews & the Debate was Softball…. had she been vetted/grilled like Palin was in 2008 or even be grilled for her HS yearbook like she did to Kavanaugh…. this might haven been corrected ….. 2022 can’t get here fast enough
