Vice President Kamala Harris has seen an increase in her favorability rating among Americans, according to a new poll conducted nearly a week after President Biden exited the 2024 race and Harris emerged as his likely replacement.

In the ABC News/Ipsos poll, released Sunday, 43 percent of Americans say they have a favorable view of Harris — an 8-point jump from last week’s 35-percent favorability rating.

Harris’s unfavorability rating also improved since last week’s poll — with 42 percent of Americans now holding an unfavorable opinion of the vice president, down 4 points from last week’s 46 percent.

With a positive 1-point net favorability rating, Harris outperforms Biden, who has a negative 13-point favorability rating, and Trump, who has a negative 16-point approval rating.

Biden’s favorability ticked up to 37 percent — a statistically significant 5-point increase from last week’s 32 percent. His unfavorability rating similarly declined by 5 points, from 55 percent last week to 50 percent this week.

Trump’s favorability rating has cooled off slightly since it received a 9-point bump last week, from 31 percent to 40 percent, after the assassination attempt. This week his favorability rating is 36 percent, and his unfavorability rating is 52 percent.

The new numbers are consistent with similar polling suggesting a bump in enthusiasm since Harris has taken center stage as the party’s presumptive nominee.

In this latest poll, 88 percent of Democrats say they are either very (63 percent) or somewhat (25 percent) enthusiastic about Harris as the party’s nominee. Among Independents, 49 percent say they are very (24 percent) or somewhat (25 percent) enthusiastic about Harris as the nominee.

According to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ’s national polling average, Harris’s favorability rating is 44.1 percent, a slight improvement from the 41.9 percent average favorability rating she had on July 20, the day before Biden exited the race.

The poll was conducted July 26-27, 2024, and included 1,200 adults. The margin of error is plus or minus 3 percentage points.
