Majority of Democrats think Kamala Harris would make a good president, AP-NORC poll shows
As President Joe Biden faces a growing drumbeat of pressure to drop his reelection bid, most Democrats think his vice president would make a good president herself.
A new poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research 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.
The undecided can be convinced during the campaign.
But I doubt I'll start thinking Kamala would be a good president...
I do think that she'll be able to beat Trump in the election at least. Which is better than Joe.
49% disapproval rating.....ye gods that's high. Pick literally anyone else. Even Biden yeesh
I'd pay big money to see a prosecutor debate a criminal.
I think she'd be shit, but I would still vote for her over Trump if that's literally the only other option, because as bad she may be it'd still be better than Trump.
Based on what I've seen most people could make a good president if they pick good folks to give them advice and don't act like douchebags.
Just a UK guy here, but she does seem like a pretty sensible swap. I know there's some controversy around her because of her time in the police system, but I haven't heard anything bad about her at all during her time as VP, she's basically been off the radar (compare that shit to Pence).
A couple good speeches here and there, some reasonable policies to offer people, and Biden's endorsement, and you've got a really solid replacement.

Nah
We don't need a majority of Democrats, we need a majority of voters.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A new poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that about 6 in 10 Democrats believe Kamala Harris would do a good job in the top slot.
Oakley Graham, a Democrat in Greenwood, Missouri, said while he is “pretty happy” with Biden’s accomplishments in office, he felt that he would be more excited to support Harris at the top of the ticket and that it was “about time” a woman becomes president.
Black adults –- a key contingent of the Democrats’ coalition and a group that remains relatively more favorable to Biden than others — are more likely than Americans overall to say that Harris would do well.
Bailey said the Democratic Party needs Harris and a running mate “who can really motivate people to go out to the polls” — a task that she’s skeptical Biden can do as effectively.
In the AP-NORC poll, which was conducted before Trump made Vance his vice presidential choice, 6 in 10 Americans don’t know enough about him to form an opinion.
The poll of 1,253 adults was conducted July 11-15, 2024, using a sample drawn from NORC’s probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population.
