Poll- 70% Of Americans Reject Biden's Afghan Pullout

The Afghan pullout is quickly becoming a disaster for the Biden administration. According to a Trafalgar Group poll, 70% of people reject Biden’s pullout from Afghanistan, with 50% “strongly disagreeing” with his actions:

Nearly 70% of likely American voters disapprove of how President Joe Biden is handling the situation in Afghanistan as the Taliban takes control of the country, according to a recently released poll.

The Trafalgar Group released a poll on Monday which found that 59.5% of respondents strongly disapproved of Biden’s handling of Afghanistan while 9.8% disapproved, for a combined 69.3% disapproval.

By contrast, 12.4% of respondents approved of Biden’s handling of Afghanistan, 10.7% strongly approve, and 7.5% responded that they have no opinion on the issue.

The poll was conducted Aug. 14-15 and had a sample of 1,084 “likely general election voters,” which had a reported margin of error of 2.98%.

Another finding of the poll was that Democrat respondents were also largely critical of Biden’s handling of Afghanistan, with 48.2% saying they either “strongly disapprove” or “disapprove,” while 39.8% saying they either “approve” or “strongly approve.”

Mark Meckler, president of conservative group Convention of States Action, which partnered with the Trafalgar Group to release the poll, said in a statement released Monday that the poll showed evidence that “the American people are not buying the lies on Afghanistan.”

“This is Saigon, and it’s far worse. Our nation has watched the same group of leaders in Washington, D.C., flounder and blunder on foreign policy, on COVID-19, on the border, and on the economy,” stated Meckler. (source, source)

Even Biden’s own allies in the Democrat political media and party have turned against him on this issue, because it’s pretty hard to politically justify what happened in Afghanistan.

Ask almost any soldier on the street who was in Afghanistan, and they will tell you- I have yet to hear otherwise from my own experience -he has no idea why he was in Afghanistan. It’s a mix of confusion about the lack of mission, anger at the clear mission failure from what was proposed (to eliminate the Taliban), and sadness about losing friends.

People always disagree with politicians, but 70% disagreement is high, especially if 50% is “strongly disagree”.

This political crisis isn’t going away. It’s a ghost that is going to haunt him all the way to 2024, assuming Biden, given his advanced age, survives until 2024.
