Earlier this month, we saw Joe Biden’s honeymoon in Economist/YouGov poll This shows that Joe Biden’s numbers were artificially pushed up under the constant praise of the media, and finally when reality began to emerge, many of his crises began to collapse, including borders and inflation.
As we reported, In view of the ongoing disaster in Afghanistan, some of these numbers are of special significance.
38% of people are confident in “Joe Biden’s ability to respond wisely to international crises”, while 46% “feel uneasy.” 41% think Joe Biden is “honest and reliable”, but 42% think he is not. Although his approval rate is still positive in public opinion polls, it fell below 50%, with 46% approving and 44% disapproving.
But for Biden, one of the most disturbing numbers may be the response to “Is Biden a strong leader or a weak leader?” 53% said he was a little weak or very weak, and 47% said he was strong or a little strong.
As of August 12, in a Fox poll, 79% of people also blamed Biden’s government policy for the soaring inflation. This is a huge number. It shows that 86% of Americans are worried about inflation. This is another huge number. His handling of the economy is also in trouble-47% agree, 49% disagree.
Now, Biden’s weakness has just been exposed to the world with the horror show staged in Afghanistan. He has a few months to design some kind of retreat, and it is hard to believe that something worse than now will happen.
In this context, Biden’s poll numbers have gotten worse.

538 has today’s average poll number, and this is the first time it has fallen below 50%. The polls were conducted before the fall of Afghanistan, so this may not have been really taken into account in the numbers.

Amy Walter of the Cook Political Report said it was not good for Biden.
Even before the collapse of Afghanistan, Biden’s approval ratings were already declining. In this era of polarization, I don’t want to see a noticeable sudden drop, but considering that he is already going downhill, it doesn’t help. https://t.co/Ocdftwbzsm

Once the figures in Afghanistan are taken into account, they are expected to drop significantly further. Even Democrats on social media can hardly defend Biden’s actions on this issue.
