An Economist/YouGov poll indicates that only 39% of registered independents believe Vice President Kamala Harris is qualified to be president, with 37% saying she is not and 24% unsure.
Among registered Democrats, 84% consider her qualified, while 9% do not and 7% are uncertain.
Overall, 47% of Americans view her as qualified, reflecting a divided opinion.
This poll, conducted from July 21 to July 23, 2024, with a margin of error of 3.1 points, comes amid competitive polling showing former President Donald Trump leading Harris by three points among registered voters following President Joe Biden’s endorsement of her candidacy.
