Democrats trust Harris slightly more than Biden on climate change, AP-NORC poll finds

As the Democratic National Convention approaches, a recent poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that Democrats have slightly higher trust in Vice President Kamala Harris’ ability to address the issue of climate change than President Joe Biden. The survey found that 85% of Democrats have “a lot” or “some” trust in Harris to address climate change, while about three-quarters say the same about Biden. The finding is an early indication that Democrats may be making distinct evaluations on Harris when it comes to key issues, rather than seeing her as interchangeable with Biden on policy.
