White voters are much more likely than those in other racial and ethnic groups to associate with the Republican Party.
Half of white voters do not think Kamala Harris is qualified to be president, according to a new poll.
The poll, conducted by The Economist and YouGov between July 27 and 30, shows that 50 percent of white voters said they believe Harris is „not qualified to be president.“ That is compared to 9 percent of Black voters and 41 percent of Hispanic voters.
Before becoming vice president, Harris was as a senator for California after serving as the state’s attorney general.
Among white voters, 41 percent said they believe Harris is qualified to be president, while 9 percent said they are unsure. Seventeen percent of Hispanic and Black voters also said they were unsure, while 42 percent and 72 percent, respectively, said they believe she is qualified.
Meanwhile, 46 percent of white voters said they disapprove of Harris becoming the Democratic nominee. Among them, 38 percent said they strongly disapprove, while 7 percent said they somewhat disapprove.
Harris polled better among Black and Hispanic voters, with 8 percent and 40 percent, respectively, saying they disapprove, while 77 percent of Black voters and 48 percent of Hispanics said they approve.
