As President Joe Biden faces a growing drumbeat of pressure to drop his reelection bid, most Democrats think his vice president would make a good president herself.

    A new poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that about 6 in 10 Democrats believe Kamala Harris would do a good job in the top slot. About 2 in 10 Democrats don’t believe she would, and another 2 in 10 say they don’t know enough to say.

    The undecided can be convinced during the campaign.

    But I doubt I’ll start thinking Kamala would be a good president…

    I do think that she’ll be able to beat Trump in the election at least. Which is better than Joe.

        Yeah, “not 20 years past retirement age” is a pretty low bar to clear, but at least we did it.

      The undecided can be convinced during the campaign.

      What campaign? The election is in 3.5 months. Every day that Biden doesn’t step down is one less day for Harris to start ramping up her campaign efforts.

      Also, please someone do a poll of the undecided who have strong feelings towards…

      • women
      • minorities
      • prosecutors

      Although most may fall firmly in the Trump camp, I’m betting there are some undecided who think that women absolutely should not be president.

      Not to mention waffling Republicans may be more incentivized to vote if the Democrat isn’t an old white dude.
