In a recent poll, the approval ratings of Joe Biden’s vice president dropped to just 27.8 percent. Meanwhile, her disapproval rating was 51.2 percent, according to USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll. According to the Telegraph, this appears to be the lowest approval rating of any modern vice president nine months into their term.
The new figures represent a dramatic decline from when Mr Harris took office when her approval rating was above 50 percent in multiple polls.
The latest polling put Mr Biden’s current presidential approval at 38 percent.
It also showed that 21 percent of voters were undecided on Ms Harris, something that may be put down to her lack of visibility.
She has not been regularly seen at Mr Biden’s side at public events in recent months.
Meanwhile, just one year out from the 2022 midterm elections, the Democrat-controlled Congress recorded just 12 percent approval and 75 percent disapproval.
And according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, 58 percent of Americans say President Joe Biden hasn’t paid enough attention to the nation’s most important problems.
David Paleologos, of the Suffolk University Political Research Center, said: “The poll is a historic low point for the Biden administration, no matter how you look at it.
“It also could spell doom for Democrats in the upcoming midterms.”

Fernando Garcia, executive director of the Border Network for Human Rights told USA Today: “I think we’re in a moment where there’s great despair, anguish and disappointment by a number of things that have happened lately.
“I do believe that if anything is going to change, if there is some force within the administration to really push for change into a more humane approach to immigration, a reform to actually mirror American values, one that also values immigrants, it will come from the vice president.
“But we are still waiting.”
Meanwhile, the statewide coordinator for the Reform Immigration for Texas Alliance, Adriana Cadena said that the people who elected Ms Harris had hoped that her approach towards immigration “was going to be different”.
She said: “There was a lot of hope when she was elected that, being a daughter of immigrants, a person of colour, that the approach on how immigration was going to be addressed was going to be different,” Cadena said.
“If she’s the promise of a new way of doing things and she represents America as what it’s going to look like in the future, then we really would like to see that in her leadership.”
