A majority of adults, at 53 percent, say that President Joe Biden's handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan is to blame for the death of 13 U.S. service members as a result of a terrorist attack at the Kabul airport on August 26. This is according to a Washington Post-ABC News conducted August 29-September 1 and released on Friday.
"Thirteen members of the U.S. military and at least 170 Afghans were killed near the Kabul airport in a suicide bombing by the Islamic State. How much, if at all, do you blame this attack on Biden's handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan - a great deal, a good amount, not much, or not at all?"
Not only did a majority say "More blame," a plurality, at 38 percent, said a "Great deal."
The strongest majority of all is the 60 percent who disapprove of the way Biden is handling "the situation in Afghanistan."
And, the talking point from the White House and the DNC is turned on its head by the poll results. The White House depends on the talking point that Americans support withdrawal from Afghanistan. This is true, as 77 percent support the decision--with support coming from all across the political spectrum--but it's hardly the main takeaway.
Indeed, the poll asks this question as well. "Which of these comes closest to your opinion regarding the withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Afghanistan? Would you say you (support the withdrawal and approve of how Biden has handled it), support the withdrawal but disapprove of how Biden has handled it or (oppose the withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Afghanistan)?
With a net of 77 percent, 52 percent disapprove of handling. Just 17 percent of those who answered said they oppose the withdrawal.
And, only the narrowest of pluralities--within the margin of error at plus or minus 3.5 percent--say that withdrawing the troops makes the U.S. safer from terrorism. Forty-percent say "makes no difference" while 44 percent say it makes us "less safe." Just 8 percent say "more safe."
The White House and DNC might also wish to pay attention how the president has shown to be consistently unpopular according to recent polling. A majority disapprove, at 51 percent, including the 42 percent who do so strongly. Forty-percent approve.
The poll asks respondents about other issues, with those results to be released at a later time.
One could even argue that these numbers are even worse for the White House's talking point. Biden gave the American people what they wanted in the sense that he withdrew the troops from Afghanistan, yet the American people can't support how royally he messed it up.
Perhaps most significant of all is that 36 percent of respondents identified as Independents, while 30 percent identified as Democrats, and 24 identified as Republicans.
Maybe that is because he is responsible?
They must not have watched Rachel Maddow, Jake Tapper or Don Lemon. Biden was said to deserve “props” for his heroic “success.” This was a “historic” event for evacuating so many people under Biden’s strong, steady hand as leader. Talk about misinformed people./S
He’s not responsible.
He’s just the patsy.
Hold the people pulling his strings responsible.
They gave the orders.
Yeah - DUH!
Funny.
Place where the great unwashed American people would never see it: hidden in plain sight. Biden is guilty.
Let me guess, the rest blamed Trump
He’s just the patsy.
Hold the people pulling his strings responsible.
They gave the orders.
Yes, Bidet* is too addled to come up with anything without instructions.
What happened to the news story the other day that a US drone had the bomber in its sights and refused permission to fire?? I saw the story on several different news sites but nothing since. It came from the lips of a former Asst. Sec. of Defense and sounded creditable.
Who else is to be blamed?
Orange man?
Well, it IS his direct responsibility.
And that of Dr. Jill.
And the JCoS.
And the rest of the ‘Rats.
Three scoops for Dementia Joe this afternoon.
To bad they couldn’t do this for Cuomo and 15000 he murdered
Hold the people pulling his strings responsible.
They gave the orders.”
Biden is the one that the feeble-minded Americans voted for so he is their figurehead.
Listen fellow Americans, you all better wise up and rise up quickly!!! Democrats, Obama, Biden & Harris are murderers of thirteen USA Marines & Army personnel, 170 Afghan innocent citizens and they are also responsible for twenty USA military personnel being seriously wounded during a “known” Suicide Bomb Attack in Afghanistan, which Biden & his Military incompetent, goon, morons knew clearly knew was coming and he could have prevented quite easily!!!
Next Week Biden & Harris are going to New York & New Jersey to view hurricane damage and, later in the week they will attend ceremonies relative to the September 11th, 2001 in New York & Pennsylvania. If you Americans have any brains at all......you will turnout by millions in person to see & tell these buffoons that are destroying the American Nation Republic, with each passing day to remove themselves from public office by resigning...period!!!. Simple...just demand to the Democrat Party to remove or impeach all of these Traitors & Turncoats!!! Then let Pelosi become POTUS...Pelosi, won’t last but a few weeks before she resigns!!! Do it to save the nation, yourselves your Children, your Grandchildren, and the rest of your beloved families and loved ones!!!
Serial Killer President.
This could be made into a movie.
The senate and the congress need to blame Biden with appropriate papers.
(Men witout chests is a phrase that comes to mind.)
Even Pelosi knows it. That's why they kept the fence up and the Guard present.
In my lifetime I've seen a president murdered, a cultural revolution, a president forced to resign from office, the betrayal by the GOP of every Republican and now, the implosion of my country.
If the Demented sociopaths at Bezos - Disney Conmie Chinese propaganda central can only twist the real polls stats this much the Real
stats must be at least 70 % .
These American hating criminally insane Chinese operatives could not even get 50% .
