President Joe Biden’s job approval rating is underwater less than a week after the Taliban’s takeover of Kabul, a Reuters/Ipsos survey released Friday revealed.

The survey, taken August 18-19, 2021, among 1,002 adults, asked respondents, “Overall, do you approve or disapprove of the way Joe Biden is handling his job as President?” 46% approve, 49% disapprove

Opinions are sharply divided on party lines, as 81 percent of Democrats approve of Biden’s job performance, compared to 11 percent of Republicans and 42 percent of independents:

The dip in Biden’s approval rating coincides with the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan, although only three percent of respondents identified war and foreign conflicts as the most important problem facing the U.S. today.

Several polls this week showed Biden’s approval rating plummeting to historical lows. The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll showed 46 percent of likely U.S. voters approving of Biden’s job performance, a one-point uptick from the 45 percent approval he saw earlier this week. Of those, 45 percent “strongly” disapprove. Even FiveThirtyEight’s figures show Biden’s approval under 50 percent, standing at 48.9 percent on Friday.

As of Friday, the RealClearPolitics polling average also showed Biden’s approval below 50 percent, sitting at 48.6 percent.

The survey coincides with a Thursday Morning Consult poll, showing a plurality of voters, 43 percent, blaming Biden for the situation in Afghanistan from a domestic standpoint.

Eighty-one percent of Democrats still have their heads up their asses. Is anyone surprised?

Stolen elections have consequences.

[NWFree]

Tells you how many people still think screwing up royally is a good thing.

They’re called libtards. 🤪

[econjack]

Kinda tells me that 81% of Democrats can’t think or they just don’t care about America.

[TChad]

46% approve?

I can't quite believe that right now, when I look around, I am seeing some of those people.

[freedumb2003]

46% = “blame Trump”

Because they are stupid.

[Starboard]

Correct. Polls mean little. They’re in power and we’re not. That’s all that matters.

Three years from now they’ll still be in power. Sobering thought.

no bottom, baby!

[Fai Mao]

How accurate are the surveys?

[Savage Beast]

I do not believe this for one second. There is no way that 46% of the American population actually approve of this fool.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

46% approve, 49% disapprove

There is nothing Biden can screw up so badly that will cause that 45% of clapping liberal seals to disapprove of him.

[Steve Van Doorn]

46% approve
Not enough.

Remember they're asking people like this
Asking people on the street some questions:
1. Name any continent
2. What century are we in?
3. If you drive 60 miles/hr and you drive one hour how far did you travel?
4. What is Obama's last name?
5. What does "Y-E-S" spell?
6. Who fought in the civil war?

No correct answer.
Edited out correct answers? Maybe

Are you taking surrender lessons from Biden?

[Starboard]

No, just acknowledging reality. How are you propose to remove them?

[Conserv]

You could start by getting out of the fetal position.

I saw that video yesterday. Wish I could say I was surprised.
