Vice President Kamala Harris is facing scrutiny over her historically low approval ratings, which indicate a lack of public support for her performance.
Recent polls show that 32% of registered voters hold a positive view of Harris, while a significant 49% view her negatively, with 39% expressing a “very negative” opinion, resulting in a net-negative rating of -17.
These figures, as recorded by a recent NBC News poll, reflect a concerning trend for the Harris-Biden administration.

Critics argue that Harris’ approval ratings mirror the widespread sentiment of her ineffectiveness and a perceived lack of accomplishment during her time in office.
As the second-in-command to President Joe Biden, her performance has been under increased scrutiny.

Some commentators have even drawn parallels between Harris’ low ratings and the public’s perception of the Biden administration as the “worst and most corrupt” in modern history.
While Harris attempted to downplay the significance of these polls by highlighting positive approval ratings from other sources, the data from NBC News points to a clear trend of dissatisfaction among voters.
This discontentment appears to be fueled, in part, by a perceived failure to effectively address crucial issues facing the nation.
In particular, critics point to the administration’s handling of the economy, the border crisis, and foreign policy as areas where Harris has come up short.
The surge in inflation, rising gas prices, and a sluggish job market have contributed to public concern about the administration’s economic policies.

The ongoing border crisis has also drawn criticism, with many conservatives accusing the administration of taking a lax approach to immigration enforcement, leading to an increase in illegal border crossings and overwhelming border facilities.
Moreover, the administration’s foreign policy decisions have faced skepticism, with some conservatives arguing that Harris and Biden have not been strong enough on the global stage, leading to a perceived decline in America’s standing internationally.
While Harris and the administration maintain that they have made strides in job creation and restoring America’s reputation globally, the discrepancy between their assertions and the prevailing public sentiment remains a contentious issue.

As the administration continues to face challenges, it is essential to consider the significance of approval ratings as a reflection of public opinion.
