Biden Approval Falls Below 50 Percent for First Time in Polling Averages Amid Afghanistan Chaos

President Joe Biden’s approval rating has fallen below 50 percent in two key polling averages for the first time in his presidency, as chaos in Afghanistan dominates news coverage.

After many months of steady approval in the mid-50s, the president’s approval rating has fallen to 49.8 percent in FiveThirtyEight’s average of polls, and 49.4 percent in the RealClearPolitics average.

Although the dip below fifty percent coincides with the events unfolding in Afghanistan, the most significant erosion dates back a few months. In July’s Gallup presidential approval poll, Biden dropped 6 points to 50 percent after months of consistent high approval, fueled by a 5-point dip among Democrats and an 8-point drop among independents.

Without the Ministry of Propaganda his approval would be in negative numbers.

If he’s not in the low 20s approval in the next poll, I’ll take that as factual evidence that these polls are rigged instead of speculating.

Below 50%

Right.

It’s in the 30s. It’ll be in the 20s next week after torture stories start up. They’ll last for months and years of people saying they were tortured and fearful of more for helping the Americans

No one in their right mind buys the wimpy we can’t help them from the pentagon.

Most people sumhmpathoze with what it’s like to help someone then get tatted out and hunted down for it

This is not going to go well for the Biden admin.

We may have seen the last presser from him today.

Do you mean to tell me that 49.8% of the US population actually approve of this fool? I don’t believe that for a millisecond.

Their inflated number fell? I suppose it had to over this. It’ll bounce back up soon enough.

When Biden gets angry, his pets shut up. I doubt we’ll ever see the day when they get his grill the way they did to Trump.

The polls are obviously rigged. They are trying to move Biden closer to Trump’s old poll numbers so Biden looks more Trumpian.

49% ??? Who are these idiots? He should be at 30% at best. These polls lie, lie, lie.

I thought he’d never make it out or the primaries but the fix was in. Ever since then it’s been like Alice in wonderland fantasy and surreality.
