Here's the deets from a poll that was commissioned by the Daily Wire and conducted by a neutral third party:
Yeah, the guy had a 7-point drop in overall approval, 55% of people disapprove of his foreign policy (the other 45% were probably split between CNN viewers and a rock), and public support for leaving Afghanistan (especially in the way we did) dropped 30%.
The Daily Wire commissioned SurveyMonkey to conduct the national poll of 1,066 Americans taken August 17-18, following the collapse of the Afghan government and the Taliban's takeover of the country's capital, Kabul.
The poll pegged Biden's job approval rating at 47%, just two points higher than his disapproval rating. In mid-July, Biden was averaging a job approval rating of 52% with 43% disapproving, according to RealClearPolitics. Biden's nine-point advantage has shrunk to just two points in a matter of weeks.
Oh, you want more specifics? Here you go:
- On the economy, 47% of Americans approve of Biden's performance while 45% disapprove (+2).
- On COVID-19, Biden's approval rating stands at 55% with 39% disapproving(+16).
- On foreign policy, Biden is 32% approve, 55% disapprove (-23)
- Meanwhile, 33% approve of Biden's handling of immigration while 54% disapprove (-21).
- Just 31% of Americans approve of Biden's performance addressing crime while 48% disapprove (-17).
Americans' opinions on withdrawing from Afghanistan has also shifted drastically.
In April, a Hill-HarrisX poll found that 73% of Americans backed Joe Biden's plan to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan and 27% opposed it. The Daily Wire/SurveyMonkey poll taken this week shows a nearly 30-point drop in support for Biden's pullout with just 45% of Americans backing the decision and 39% opposing it.
The poll respondents were 35.6% Democrat, 31.7% Republican, and 32.6% Independent, with a margin of error of 3%.
Unless Biden magically learns how to successfully lead a country over night, all the ice cream in the world on Late Night TV isn't going to get him out of this one.
