Kamala Harris’s Approval Rating Hits Nearly 50%: ‘What Changed? The Media Coverage’Wendell Husebø 28 Sep 2024
Vice President Kamala Harris’s approval rating curiously increased after she entered the presidential race in July, an NBC News poll found this week, causing political pundits to question why.
Before Harris joined the race, she held the lowest net negative rating (-17) for a vice president in U.S. history. Her approval rating was only 28 percent in January 2024, and it only improved to 32 percent in July, the month President Joe Biden stepped aside. Harris’s approval rating is now 48 percent, an increase of 16 points in just two months.
“What changed?” digital strategist Greg Price asked on X this week. “The media coverage.”
“The media machine has kicked into over drive and too many people in America still think the news is real,” said Price. “Nothing about Kamala Harris has changed.”
Harris has refused to change many of her radical positions once championed in 2019, such as her support of reparations, the legalization of prostitution, and amnesty to illegal aliens; and just like before she entered the race, Harris commits gaffes and delivers word salads in meandering responses to simple questions about how to secure the southern border or improve the economy.
Despite her performance, Harris’s approval rating wondrously improved, mirroring the establishment media’s shifting coverage of the vice president. In 2021, for instance, the media broadly reported on “friction,” “internal tensions,” and “anxiety” within her vice presidential office. It reported on a history of “mistreatment of employees and dissent” going back to her days in the Senate:
