Poll shows 55 percent disapprove of Biden job performance
A new poll shows over half Americans disapprove of US president Joe Biden’s ob performance amid he US chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan.
A USA Today-Suffolk University poll found that 55 percent of the population are ow happy with Democratic president’s performance less than a year into the Biden administration.
"Today, President Biden's overall approval has taken a turn for the worse due to his awful job performance rating on Afghanistan," director of the Suffolk Political Research Center, David Paleologos, told USA Today. "His approval on immigration and the economy are also upside down. The only issue keeping him remotely in the game is his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, where he is barely at 50 percent.”
Sixty-two percent specifically said they disapproved of Biden's handling of the withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan.
The US has is evacuating Americans from Afghanistan but that has not lessoned bipartisan and international criticism directed at the Biden administration over the Taliban return to power.
For the first time since he took office, Biden is enjoying support from under 50 percent as pressure mounts on his administration over the possible repercussions of the US hasty withdrawal from war-ravaged Afghanistan.
"He basically handed the Taliban all these weapons, and he's inspired a resurgent ISIS now," said Aubrey Schlumbrecht, 51, of Lakewood, Colorado, a home health-care nurse and political independent who was among those polled. "He is not even taking any responsibility. He says he owns it, but he's blaming other people and he's blaming the Afghan people themselves."
The US futile and cruel war comes to an end 20 years after invasion of Afghanistan as the Biden administration grapples with repercussions of the Taliban takeover of most of the country.
Some 60 percent of those taking part in the poll said the war in Afghanistan was not worth it.
