In a new poll by YouGov and the Times of London, nearly all voters surveyed--92%--who believed there was a coverup of President Joe Biden's health said that Vice President Kamala Harris was at least partly to blame.
A majority of voters, 54%, said they believed there was a coverup of Biden's declining health, which was made evident during the June presidential debate against former President Donald Trump.
68% of that 54% said they blamed Harris "a great deal" for the coverup, while 17% said they blamed her somewhat and 7% said they thought she was a little bit to blame.
An even bigger percentage, 95%, said they believed the Biden family was to blame for the coverup. That included 84% who said they were a great deal to blame, 9% who said somewhat, and 3% who said a little.
The news media, Democrats in Congress, and White House staff all had majorities of voters that also got some of the blame for the coverup.
When asked if they thought Biden should resign now, however, only 30% said yes, while 63% said no and 7% weren't sure.
Harris was also the favorite candidate to replace Biden, with 50% indicating they thought she was the best choice. A number of other candidates including Gretchen Whitmer, Gavin Newsom, Josh Shapiro and Joe Manchin had from three to 10% each, with 22% saying "other."
It's hardly an overwhelming level of support, but Harris already has enough delegates to become the Democrat nominee without a single primary vote being cast for her, at least in the presidential position on the ticket.
There is a lot of trepidation about Harris as the Democrat nominee. Even Black Lives Matter denounced "annointing" Harris as "not democratic" and said they didn't support the move.
"Democratic Party elites and billionaire donors are attempting to manipulate Black voters by anointing Kamala Harris and an unknown vice president as the new Democratic ticket without a primary vote by the public," Black Lives Matter said in a statement.
Harris remains deeply unpopular, with a -10 approval rating, even higher than Trump's -6 in the same poll.
Voters who complained they didn't like either of the two major candidates are not seeming any happier with Harris than they were with Biden.
There was a lot of support for Biden dropping out of the race, however, with 76% indicating they strongly or somewhat agreed with the decision.
Donald Trump was two points ahead of Kamala Harris in the poll, 46% to 44%, even though when asked which party's candidate they would vote for without giving names, the poll was tied at 44% each. Third-party and independent candidates were included in the survey.
