The vice president’s favorability has dropped in the Sunshine State, according to a survey.
Despite Democratic optimism about flipping Florida on November 5, Vice President Kamala Harris’ favorability has declined in the state, according to a recent poll.
Democrats have previously said that Florida—and its 30 Electoral College votes—could be in play for Harris on Election Day, with some polls suggesting the race is close. In September, Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime Harrison said that the party thinks it “has a shot” in Florida and that people may be “surprised on election night about what happens in the state.”
Florida has an electoral history of voting both blue and red, sometimes by very narrow margins. Donald Trump won the state twice, in 2016 and 2020, while Barack Obama carried the Sunshine State in 2012 with 50 percent of the vote and in 2008 with 51 percent. The 2000 contest between George W. Bush and Al Gore came down to just a few hundred votes in the state, with the Supreme Court settling the count in Bush’s favor by just over 500 votes.
Less than two weeks from Election Day, polling shows Trump leading in the state.
