The Biden administration's public opinion woes continue.

A USA Today/Suffolk poll from the weekend had grim numbers for both President Biden and VP Harris.

Harris hit an historic low approval rating of 28%, even lower than Dick Cheney's all-time worst.

A new poll from USA Today and Suffolk University released on Sunday contains a grim snapshot of public sentiment toward the Biden administration.

President Joe Biden has been on a months-long slide toward historically poor polling numbers, but yesterday's USA Today/Suffolk poll was even worse for Vice President Kamala Harris.

Biden's approval rating hit yet another a new low, this time at 38%, but Harris' dropped to 28%.

A 51% majority of respondents said they disapprove of the job Harris is doing as VP.

At this early stage of a modern presidency, Harris' numbers in the USA Today/Suffolk poll are unprecedented.

The closest comparison - which involves slightly different methodology and margins of error - would be former Vice President Dick Cheney, the most unpopular US vice president in polling history. He bottomed out at 30% in Gallup's tracking survey, but that wasn't until the end of former President George W. Bush's second term in 2007.

Harris has taken on thorny assignments early on in her tenure as VP, including running point on the administration's efforts at handling the migration surge of asylum seekers at the southern border.

As Insider's Robin Bravender reported in late October, Harris aides are quietly worried about the 2024 presidential election, should Biden forego a reelection bid, with former 2020 primary rival and Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg posing a potential threat.

The USA Today/Suffolk poll had a sample of 1,000 registered voters nationwide and a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.

Wait, hold up...

...so they're saying the presidential candidate who got zero delegates and couldn't even find any love in her own home state is suddenly unpopular, despite being inexplicably installed as Creepy Uncle Joe's veep and immediately faceplanting every photo op to which they sent her?

Amazing.

What's next- are they going to be shocked by Joe's "recently discovered" history of bribes from big pharma, the health insurance industry, fossil fuels, and wall street?

Temple no doubt will see her unpopularity number as a positive factor for the dems.

After all, it could have been lower.

Obi's always been fair and impartial. He's a registered Independent.

Look at the link he has in his sig compared to the trash you had in yours.

Harris is a buffoon

This is an old thread... Not sure how old the video is, but it was at least 18 months after the democrats began "Delivering...~Big Time~"

There doesn't seem to be any need for a vice president at this point.. She can't say anything without cackling and making a fool of herself... She IS a "WOC" (Woman of Color) ...so... There's that
