Vice President Kamala Harris earned the lowest vice-presidential favorability rating in NBC News poll history with a net-negative rating of -17.

Among respondents in a 1,000-person June 2023 NBC poll, 32% had a positive view of Harris and and 49% had a negative view of her, including 39% who had a “very negative view,” according to NBC News. Harris’ favorability was lower than that of former vice presidents Mike Pence, Joe Biden, Dick Cheney and Al Gore, according to NBC.

The Biden administration has made efforts to shore up Harris‘ favorability among voters by prominently displaying her on the reelection campaign website and having her focus on issues that are popular with the party’s base, including infrastructure and abortion.
