Why are some democrats worried?👇

Two recent polls both showed 46 per cent of Americans approved of Ms Harris, with 47 per cent and 48 per cent disapproving

❌An Economist/YouGov poll found 41 per cent of voters aged 18-29 had an "unfavourable" view of Ms Harris, with only 36 per cent viewing her "favourably."

Of the 48 per cent in the Economist/YouGov poll who viewed the vice president "unfavourably," the vast majority [40 per cent] said they did so "very unfavourably."

Ms Harris has alienated some Hispanic voters by telling people from Central America "Do not come" to the US

Alarmed Democrat strategists are grappling with the Vice President's floundering poll numbers which show she is now "underwater," meaning more Americans disapprove, than approve, of her job performance

What do you make of the VP's performance so far?

So what are the democrats going to do?

1. The White House intends to deploy her only in certain areas to campaign ahead of next year's midterm Congressional elections

2. They will attempt to raise her profile by sending her on foreign trips in the coming months

On Friday night, as part of its plan to boost Ms Harris's standing, the White House announced she would become the first US vice president to visit Vietnam next month...

Time will tell if these are the right decisions...
