A recent poll measuring Kamala Harris' popularity among Americans revealed that the Vice President's approval rating dropped by over 5% since January, going from 41.7% to 36.3%. Another poll analysis showed lower approvals, as 55% of voters disapproved of Harris' term, making her critically more unfavorable than Joe Biden who himself holds a record for being the least approved US president. 

In more comparisons, Mike Pence, Al Gore, and Dick Cheney all surpassed Kamala Harris in popularity. 

President Biden's approval rating recently reached 33%.
How could it be that high?
Public confidence in Biden has reached 24%.
As America moves towards the 2024 Election, Biden is likely to see his poll numbers drop.
Biden & Harris, the most incompetent candidates in US history.

Speculations over the reason why Kamala was voted down this intensely may have to do with age concerns about Biden, who was the oldest US President ever elected at the age of 80. Biden's old age has been a running concern, with a September poll revealing that 77% of voters and 65% of Democrats admitted uneasiness toward his age. The issue materializes in the sense that if Biden fails to complete his term, Harris would effectively be President.

For reelections, Biden was running against two major opponents with higher polls than expected, but Democrats canceled the primary, leaving Biden as the sole option in several states, such as Florida, Tennessee, Massachusetts, and North Carolina. 

“To realize just how unpopular Kamala Harris is, you have to keep in mind the historical significance of it all. No one in her position has had this low of favorabilities in a first term since Dan Quayle," Thomas Gift, who heads the Centre on US Politics at University College London, told US media.

"That's saying something. So it's no surprise, especially with Biden's age, that Republicans keep hammering home a simple point: a vote for Biden is a vote for Harris,” he added.

Democrats were hoping that Harris' youth would counter Biden's maturity, but the results of multiple polls indicate otherwise, creating a problem for the Democratic National Committee. 

A battle between two evils

In light of public disdain for the Biden-Harris administration, Donald Trump has taken the opportunity to market for a "better America" under his rule.

During an event in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, former US President Donald Trump addressed voters and expressed that his renewed entry into politics was, as he put it, the "greatest comeback in history," calling the return a "righteous crusade" against current President Joe Biden.

According to The Daily Caller news website, Trump was specifically referring to the comeback of the entire nation and not his own.

"It’s going to be the greatest comeback in history — I’m not talking about comeback politically because I don’t care about that — it will be the greatest comeback for a country."
 
The audience erupted in applause after Trump claimed the "crusade" would "free" the people of the country from Biden and the "criminals" in his current administration.
