NBC News poll: Kamala Harris hits record low for VP net favorability
www.axios.com
Just under half, 49%, of registered voters have a negative view of the vice president.

She has some criticisms for her past as an attorney, but I’m not sure why she’s so disliked now. What has she done to engender such distaste from the public?

    1. She’s a democrat. that means 42% of the population automatically hate her.
    2. She’s grossly inappropriate and cackles at exactly the wrong time, and that creeps people out.
    3. She was a “tough on weed” prosecutor who became a bleeding heart liberal overnight when she got her new job. That makes her seem disingenuous.

    Just what I’ve picked up from other people, I have no feelings about her whatsoever.

      This more or less sums it, there are differences between why the right and left might dislike her (ex. I’d say there’s an element of misogyny and racism on the right mixed in with valid criticisms).

      But fundementally, she’s phony. And people are kind of over phony politicians. And more importantly she’s not any good at being phony. You have people like Biden who are just as full of shit, but he has a schtick that works on a lot of people to give the impression that he’s this worldly, aviators-wearing grandpa who’s gonna “give it to you straight, Jack” yadda yadda.

      Kamala, by contrast, has no real convincing schtick like that, her mannerisms are overly polished and practiced, so she just looks like another empty suit.

        I’m not going to argue that some of the dislike she receives isn’t due to racism or misogyny. There has to be an element of that.

        But yes, phony is the perfect word.

        I don’t even get that from Biden. He just seems so fake from the get-go.

        (Next part is irrelevant and only opinion.) But I’d rather go into the ground by someone sneaky and quiet than by an arm-flailing maniac screaming and yelling as I get beaten down into the hole lol.
