Trump Rising

Joe Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal debacle has only just started to eat away at his standing with the American people. Events like those that transpired over the weekend in Kabul need some time to marinate with the public before trends can be seen in the data.
But Biden’s numbers had been on the downslope prior to the debacle in Afghanistan, and now it appears he will have a hard, long slog to climb out of the hole he’s dug for himself.
By a margin of 43-37, Joe Biden would lose to Donald Trump if the election were held today, according to the latest Rasmussen poll. The difference is that Trump would win more women and blacks than he did in 2020, when he lost to Biden, 46.8%-51.3%.
Washington Examiner:
The survey comes at a key point in Biden’s presidency. He is now under fire for bungling America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, increasing inflation, and spiraling crime.
Several other surveys out this week have shown his approval rating underwater, a place Trump floated for much of his presidency.
Today, Axios headlined, “Biden’s average approval rating drops below 50% for first time.” It cited poll trackers from FiveThirtyEight and RealClearPolitics.
The site added, “This marks a precipitous decline from the FiveThirtyEight peak of 55.1% in March and the RCP peak of 55.7% in April.”
