, ‘(Washington=Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Dong-hyun = Despite the very negative evaluations of President Joe Biden’s governance, why has Vice President Kamala Harris, who has co-led the administration, not suffered much damage to her approval ratings.’,
,
, ‘ The Washington Post (WP) raised this question on the 27th (local time) and analyzed that the reason could be that many Americans believe Vice President Harris did not play a significant role in the Biden administration.’,
,
, ‘ The perceived lack of presence and performance as Vice President has actually acted favorably in this presidential election.’,
,
, ‘ Former President Donald Trump, who is competing against Vice President Harris, has been attacking her, claiming that she bears responsibility for the soaring prices and illegal immigration issues in the Biden administration, not just President Biden.’,
,
, ‘ It is a strategy to tie Vice President Harris, who is unpopular, with President Biden in an attempt to drag them down together, but so far, it seems to have had little effect.’,
,
, ‘ Rather, in public opinion polls, Vice President Harris receives more positive evaluations than President Biden on the Democratic Party’s biggest weaknesses, the economy and immigration issues.’,

,
, ‘WP observed that thanks to the voters’ perception that Vice President Harris did not play a central role in the Biden administration’s policies, it may be possible to keep a distance from the Biden administration.’,
,
, ‘ Polls conducted by WP and ABC News with pollsters from September 9-13 asked 2,336 American adults how much influence Vice President Harris had on the economy and immigration policies of the Biden administration.’,
,
, ‘ The results showed that 64% answered “slightly” or “very little,” while only 33% answered “quite a bit” or “a lot.”‘,
,
, ‘ On immigration issues, more respondents, 57% to 39%, believed that Vice President Harris had little influence.’,
,
, ‘ By party, Republican supporters rated Vice President Harris’ influence lower.’,
,
, ‘ The group that rated Vice President Harris’ influence the lowest were independent voters, with 70% considering she had little influence on economic policies, and 62% believing the same for immigration policies.’,
,
, ‘ WP assessed that it is not certain why Americans rate Vice President Harris’ influence low.’,
,
, ‘ They theorized that it could be because Americans have not encountered Vice President Harris frequently until recently, or because they do not think policies are her strong suit, or simply because they do not consider the position of Vice President as important.’,
