According to a Reuters poll, Biden’s popularity rating has dropped to a low of 46 percent, following criticism of his policies on chaos in Kabul.
The US president’s strategy for handling the Afghan conflict is seen as worse than that of George W. Bush, who sent troops to Afghanistan.
Biden has faced strong criticism from Democrats and Republicans over his strategy to withdraw troops from Kabul. According to foreign media, thousands of Americans and Afghans who worked for the United States are stranded in Afghanistan, while US officials have been recalled from Kabul following the Taliban’s advance.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, meanwhile, said in a Fox News interview that there were 15,000 Americans stranded in Afghanistan who would probably have to beg the Taliban to let them go to the airport.
