Harris lowest rated VP ever?

 Rick Moran:

Democrats have been flogging the image of Kamala Harris for more than six months, trying to show Americans why she should be popular, and the public isn’t buying it.

The efforts and the expectations of success by Democrats say a lot about the party and their myopic view of the voters, which has cost them dearly during the last three national elections. A party that tells most voters they’re “racist” and says those same ordinary people must be cleansed of their “systemic racism” and delusions of “white supremacy” shouldn’t have to wonder why people don’t like them very much.

But the Democrats keep doubling down — as they did with Harris. The vice president is among the most unpopular vice presidents in modern history and, true to form, Democrats can’t figure out why on earth that might be true.

A recent YouGov poll revealed that Harris’s net approval rating is ten points underwater among all voters and 25 points underwater among independents, 44 percent of whom say they have a “very unfavorable” opinion of the vice president.

Charles W. Cooke in NRO:

Still, that Harris is unpopular should come as no great surprise, given that she somehow manages to combine into a single package a transparent insincerity, an unvarnished authoritarianism, and a tendency toward precisely the sort of self-satisfied progressivism that helped the Republicans to limit their losses at the last general election. If her apologists wish to, they can pretend that the reaction Harris yields is “gendered” or “systemic” or “inequitable” or whatever other bastardized academic term is fashionable this week, and they should feel free to knock themselves out doing so. Deep down, though, they must know that America isn’t the problem here. The problem is that Harris is a phony. It remains the case that, throughout her entire public career, almost nobody has looked at Kamala Harris and thought, “Yes, she’s the person we need to lead us.” Sure, she’s won a couple of elections. But even in deep blue California, she has struggled.

Harris won her state attorney general race by 74,000 votes out of 9.6 million cast. Her two terms as California AG were marked by a “tough on crime” reputation she cultivated to win a narrow election to the Senate.

For some politicians, it’s all about rising and Harris tried to use the slightly more visible platform as a senator to run for president in 2020. She was a complete failure, getting only about 3 percent support nationwide and only 7 percent in her home state of California. This, despite her abandonment of a common-sense approach to justice in service of a far more radical agenda in order to appeal to the far left of the Democratic Party.

The radical left loves Harris because she checks so many boxes: female, black-Asian (a twofer), and progressive. The mystery is why she’s so deeply unpopular.

What it tells you is that identity politics will only get you so far.  After that, you have to demonstrate some competence and she has woefully failed at that.  She also appears to be dodging the responsibility she has been handed.
