Rising Favorability: Kamala Harris Gains Momentum Ahead of DNC

Vice President Kamala Harris enters the Democratic National Convention buoyed by increased enthusiasm from Democrats and a notable rise in her favorability ratings among Americans.

A recent poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research indicates that 48% of US adults hold a very or somewhat favorable view of Harris, up from 39% at the beginning of the summer.

This surge follows President Joe Biden's exit from the presidential race after a poor debate performance against former President Donald Trump, whose favorability currently stands at 41%. As Harris's campaign gains momentum, more Americans have formed opinions about her, with those unsure about her dropping from 12% in June to just 6% now.
