In the days following the Biden administration’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, President Joe Biden’s approval rating fell to just 38 percent.
A new poll from The Federalist and Susquehanna Polling & Research contains troubling news for President Joe Biden and his policy agenda, with the 46th president’s approval rating falling to just 38 percent in the days following his administration’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. The full poll, which surveyed 800 likely voters on from August 12 through August 18, found that 49 percent of those surveyed approved of the job Biden is doing as president, while 45 percent disapproved. However, a sub-sample of 327 likely voters polled between August 16 and August 18 when news of the fall Afghanistan became public found that only 38 percent approved of Biden’s job, while 51 percent of those polled after Afghanistan fell disapproved of Biden’s job so far. Americans are also deeply concerned about the current direction of the country, the poll found. Only 27 percent of American voters believe the nation to be headed on the right track, while 60 percent believe the country is headed in the wrong direction.
