Kamala’s lousy poll position

A new poll shows most voters take a dim view of Vice President Kamala Harris’ handling of the border crisis.
Only 33 percent of likely US voters say she has done an “excellent” or “good” job in the Rasmussen Reports survey, while 48 percent rate her job performance as “poor” and another 13 percent call it “fair.” Women are more negative about her than men than men.
Admittedly, President Biden handed her a poisoned chalice when he gave her the job of “fixing” the crisis.
But she blotted her copy book when she couldn’t answer even the gentlest media questions about why she had avoided the border for three months.
It will take a long time for her to live down her meltdown with NBC’s Lester Holt, when she replied, “I haven’t been to Europe” when he asked why the border czar hadn’t been to the border.
Even when she finally went to El Paso last month, she snapped at a reporter: “It’s not my first trip.”
She seems mortally offended at the mildest challenge and apparently keeps a blacklist of journalists who don’t “appreciate her life experience.”
Her thin skin comes from her experience in bright blue California, where a sycophantic media never asked uncomfortable questions. She was feted for her identity and developed her startling laugh disarmed critics.
The upshot is that she is just not match fit to answer criticism.
It’s not fair to blame her for the immigration crisis that the president created all on his own, but unless she figures out how to answer to the public, her popularity will keep sinking.
