25% Of Republicans Support Kamala Harris, Poll Says

Kamala Harris, Joe Biden’s choice for Vice President, is well-liked among voters. Even some Republicans have favorable views of the VP candidate, according to a new poll.

In a new ABC News/Washington Post poll, Republican approval of Harris ranges from 25-55% while Democrats approve 86-8%. That means 1 in 4 Republicans has a favorable opinion of Harris.

Still, many conservatives have unfavorable views. According to the poll, conducted by Langer Research Associates, “disapproval of Harris’ selection is highest among conservatives (especially ‘very’ conservatives), white evangelicals, rural residents and non-college-educated white men, all core Trump support groups.”

The poll was conducted via phone with a random national sample of 1,001 adults.

Still, it seems as though some are willing to part ways with the Republican party in the November election. According to AlJazeera, several Republican-backed groups have formed to support Joe Biden’s campaign to unseat President Donald Trump. The Lincoln Project and Republican Voters Against Trump have both gained quite a bit of social media attention. A super PAC called 43 Alumni for Biden (the alumni all having worked for Republican President George W. Bush) as well as a coalition of former Republican national security officials are also working to make sure the Republican president doesn’t get re-elected.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll released last week also resulted in 25% of Republicans saying they approved of the Senator from California. Their survey was conducted online with 1,000 people, including 389 Republicans and 419 Democrats.

The Reuters poll also noted that 60% of women said they view Harris favorably. Biden only scored 53%.
