According to the survey, even among Democrats, one in five people disagree with Biden’s approach to the world, whereas independents are more in line with the Republican Party.
The poll found that only 16% of the 1,500 adult US citizens questioned “highly approve” of the way Biden is managing international policy. For a total of 41%, another 25% “somewhat” approve. 51% of people collectively dislike, with 37% strongly disapproving and 14% moderately so.
The disapproval rate increased to 53% among the 1,312 registered voters, while Biden’s support edged up to 42%.

The study was carried out between August 13 and 16, which was the anniversary of Kabul falling to the Taliban the previous year. That led to the Afghan government’s collapse, something Biden swore would never occur, and a panicked scramble to board US military flights departing the capital of Afghanistan.
