Kamala Harris' net approval rating is the worst for a vice president in NBC News polling history

A new poll found very bad news for Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris despite a campaign by the White House to rehabilitate her image and tout her accomplishments.

The poll said that her net approval rating among Americans was the worst in NBC News polling history, with a 17% difference between those who approve and those who disapprove. 49% of respondents said they disapproved of the job Harris was doing, according to the poll, while only 32% said that they approved of the job she's doing.

Other vice presidents fared far better in previous polls, including Dick Cheney, who had a net positive 23% rating; Al Gore, who had a net positive 15% rating; and Joe Biden himself, who had a net positive 1% rating.

Only Mike Pence had a negative net rating with 4%, but even that was far less than Harris' negative net rating.

Her first term as vice president has been mired by accusations of incompetence and unpreparedness, while her staff has seen high turnover as employees quit to find greener pastures. Harris has also been mocked and ridiculed over embarrassing repetitions of simple phrases in her speeches.

Some on the left have defended Harris by claiming that her critics are motivated by racism and sexism. In March the co-hosts of "The View" were outraged that some Democrats were also criticizing Harris, and they demanded that those on the left fall in line to support the Democratic ticket.

A separate poll in August found that only 43% of Americans found Harris to be qualified to take on the duties of the presidency, while a majority said she was not qualified, should the occasion arise.

White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients told Axios that Americans were expressing "enthusiasm and energy" about what the vice president is doing in the office.

“We just need to make sure that we do a good job of exposing” her to the American public, concluded Zients.
