Surprising new poll reveals what Democrats REALLY think of Kamala Harris being president

Polls taken days before President Joe Biden withdrew from the 2024 race have revealed if Democrats actually want Kamala Harris to become commander-in-chief.

A poll published on Wednesday found that around six in 10 Democrats think that Vice President Harris would do well in the event Biden stepped aside and she was president herself.

Polling, which was conducted by the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, determined that a majority of Democrats believe the country would be in good hands if Harris occupied the Oval Office.

Approximately 58 percent of Democrats think Harris would make a good president - while 22 percent think she would not and 20 percent 'do not know enough to say'.

This is compared to the 30 percent of the general public that think Harris would make a good President and a staggering 87 percent of Republicans who said she would NOT make a good president. 

This hypothetical situation is now a reality as Biden actually has quit the presidential race and endorsed Harris to take on former President Donald Trump.

Surprising new polls have revealed if Democrats actually want Kamala Harris to become president as Biden's popularity amongst the left dwindles.

In a statement on Sunday, Biden election admitted it was in the 'best interests of the country' for him not to seek re-election for a second term.

Biden, 81, endorsed his vice president Kamala Harris to succeed him as the Democratic nominee to take on Donald Trump in November, which she promptly responded to by claiming she would be the one to 'unite' the party.

The President had faced an increasingly frenzied clamor from within his own party to step aside after a disastrous debate performance against Trump last month, which sparked a series of fumbles from which he could not recover.

Biden announced his seismic decision in a one-page letter posted on social media, where he committed to serving until the end of this term in January.

However, Republicans called on him to resign immediately, arguing if he is not 'fit to run' then he is 'not fit to serve'.

'It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President,' Biden wrote in a letter posted to his X account on Sunday.

'And while it has been my intention to seek reelection,' he went on, 'I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.'

Although Biden had been under immediate pressure the stunning announcement came with no warning and many of his own staff and supporters in Congress appeared to be blindsided.

'No one had a heads up before the tweet posted,' one Biden campaign worker told DailyMail.com. 'Which, to me, is an insane way to treat the 1,300 people that work for you on the campaign.'

Earlier on Sunday a slew of Biden's allies went on the airwaves to insist the President was not stepping down and would continue his reelection efforts.

But Biden campaign senior Anita Dunn told staff on a call on Sunday that they weren't wrong to say Biden was staying in the race and claimed he made the decision last-minute, sources told ABC News.

Dunn told the campaign to shift towards 'defending and protecting' Harris now.

Biden said in his drop-out letter that he would speak more detail about his decision in remarks to the country later this week. He also sent a quick follow-up post pushing for Harris to take over his campaign.

VP Harris released a statement where she seemed to accept Biden's endorsement as a de facto primary win and said she will lead the party to victory in November.

Although, just because Biden backed his No. 2 to take his spot doesn't mean she automatically will receive the nomination.

'With this selfless and patriotic act, President Biden is doing what he has done throughout his life of service: putting the American people and our country above everything else,' Harris wrote a few hours after Biden ended his bid.

'I am honored to have the President's endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination,' she added before listing her credentials for getting the nod from her boss.

'Over the past year, I have traveled across the country, talking with Americans about the clear choice in this momentous election,' she wrote. 'And that is what I will continue to do in the days and weeks ahead. I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party—and unite our nation—to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda.'

'We have 107 days until Election Day. Together, we will fight. And together, we will win.'
