NEW YORK, Aug 17 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden's approval rating hit its lowest level so far as the U.S.-backed Afghan government collapsed over the weekend in an upheaval that sent thousands of civilians and Afghan military allies fleeing for their safety, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.

The national opinion poll, conducted on Monday, found that 46% of American adults approved of Biden's performance in office, the lowest recorded in weekly polls that started when Biden took office in January.

It is also down from the 53% who felt the same way in a similar Reuters/Ipsos poll that ran on Friday.

The one thing that came out of the mouth of Mitt Romney that he was actually spot on about was when he said that between 46-48 percent of this country are total morons..rely on the Govt for everything, and will vote for anyone who gives them freebies..so this number is about right

The polls are rigged to get it that high. As usual. Anyone who still support him is the enemy of this country.

Like Obama, he gets Saddam Hussein-like approval numbers from 13% of the population (blacks).

Was I wrong to think the polls under rated Trump by 5% during his presidency and inflated Obama’s and now Biden’s by 5%?

At least -10% for Trump and probably 15%+ for the pedophile.

Stick around... His approval rate will soon be lower than a bad case of shingles at the rate he’s going.

I don’t believe 46% are that stupid.

I’m calling BS on that poll.

I might buy into this if the approval rating was between 4 & 6%, but otherwise, no.

I bet it’s wrong. Among liberal Democrats and progressives his reading will shoot through the roof over the loss of Afghanistan

Reuters.

Ok.

Yes 7 month low. During his orientation. With no base. The only base he has are those paid for suitcase-hauling dames counting and recounting in the 7 counties that count. I’ve been reading too much Mark Steyn

Can anyone read too much Mark Steyn?

He has no base.

Therefore, he will never ever bounce back. As the month moves toward that day of beautiful weather, the beginning of school, the break in the heat, the New York Season of McIntosh apples from the tree, September, September 11, we will have three news-sogged weeks of CNN attempting to maintain the brainwashing, perhaps succeeding, Brian Williams fending off war-weary former CIA operatives having eeenough, Joe and Mika again wrestling a change of subject, Maddow tripping over ‘never say you want to spend time with the family even if you mean it’ which she may...or may not, local DeBlasio visiting The Brooklyn shop via the NYC-paid chopper gym to Gracie commute, just seeing if they could hammer out some kind of breast pocket patch - a star, a yello—no, a red star maybe, the kids can wear it on their blazer just to, you know, segregate them-
A time, an ideal time when we will wallow in the Biden screw-
up culminating on the memorial of twenty years ago we Spent three weeks freaking out our family, weeping having violently lost our best boy next door Wally Gooner who just minding his biz working for the neighbor’s late grandfather, Mr Fitzgerald’s
company, Cantor-Fitzgerald, 105th floor, just getting coffee, trading bonds fending off a 737 through the window, the wall, adding serenity, some Jesus to the situation, laughter, dancing, nicknames, a warm greeting look in the eye, gone, then, saying to a husband, they want A-10s where? The midEast? Knock yourself out, MRE boy.

People will think of these things, democrats and republicans, and these people in the next months, as this liar, the best bad idea they could prop up against Trump, continues to flub everything that ever was sacred to any American because he has never been anything but an influence peddler, abjectly unamerican as a senator, and beyond, selling to the easiest bidder foreign enemy or creep-without-a-country, because it takes one to know one, and he will be done. Worse than already. Done.

Yes. And he backtracked. It was nauseating. He was correct and he capitulated. That was when he lost tge election

Trump came in saying the truth -never capitulating
