Meanwhile, her supporters have complained that Biden simply is not giving Harris the opportunity to lead and succeed.<\/p>\n<p>Harris has been particularly criticized for her strategy \u2014 or lack of it \u2014 on the southern border. Biden tapped her with handling the migration crisis in southern states, but her chosen strategy has been widely regarded as largely ineffective.<\/p>\n<p>Harris has said that her \u201cprimary focus\u201d in dealing with the border is to address the \u201croot causes of migration\u201d out of Central American countries like Guatemala. However, migrants <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/border-crisis-biden-presidency-on-edge-illegal-undocumented-immigration-alien-amnesty-11637098919\">continue<\/a> to cross the southern border into the U.S., <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/12\/15\/politics\/yuma-arizona-migrants\/index.html\">overwhelming<\/a> border authorities and immigration courts.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Morgan, the former acting commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, called Harris \u201cout of touch\u201d on the problems at the border.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think what all Americans want, regardless of their political affiliation, is to feel safe and secure in their neighborhoods and their communities, and that starts with border security,\u201d Morgan <a href=\"https:\/\/13wham.com\/news\/nation-world\/vp-harris-approach-to-immigration-is-a-failed-strategy-says-ex-border-official\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Biden has political and legislative issues of his own that are not helping his poll numbers.<\/p>\n<p>The president\u2019s Build Back Better Act, his signature $1.9 trillion social spending bill and a key campaign promise, was effectively tanked days before Christmas when Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) refused to vote for it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have always said, \u2018If I can\u2019t go back home and explain it, I can\u2019t vote for it,\u2019\u201d Manchin said during an appearance on Fox News in which he announced his opposition to the massive spending plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite my best efforts, I cannot explain the sweeping Build Back Better Act in West Virginia and I cannot vote to move forward on this mammoth piece of legislation,\u201d Manchin said.<\/p>\n<p>Progressive Democrats fumed at Biden\u2019s failure to secure enough Democratic support for his promised spending plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have every right to be furious with Joe Manchin, but it\u2019s really up to leadership in the Democratic Party who, you know, made the decision to get us to this juncture and how we\u2019re going to move forward,\u201d Rep.&nbsp;Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/politics\/politics-news\/aoc-manchin-biden-build-back-better-1274088\/\">said<\/a> of Manchin\u2019s opposition to the spending bill.<\/p>\n<p>The Gallup poll surveyed just over 800 U.S. adults over telephone between Dec. 1 and 16.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
