According to The Daily Wire\/SurveyMonkey poll, 36 percent of American\u2019s believe that Biden is responsible for the current crisis in Afghanistan. Meanwhile, 21 percent fault Donald Trump.&nbsp;29 percent of Americans say it\u2019s neither Trump nor Biden\u2019s fault.<\/p>\n<p>According to the poll, which surveyed 1,066 Americans, independents are twice as likely to blame Biden than Trump for the debacle.<\/p>\n<p>In light of the Afghan government\u2019s downfall, Biden attempted to blame Trump for allegedly leaving him with a bad deal that forced the current administration to remove troops. During a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-speaks-i-stand-squarely-behind-my-decision-on-afghanistan-but-trump-tied-my-hands\">national address<\/a>, Biden took full responsibility for his decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan while simultaneously claiming that Trump\u2019s negotiations forced him into pulling U.S. military support for the Afghan government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I came into office, I inherited a deal that President Trump negotiated with the Taliban. Under his agreement, U.S. forces would be out of Afghanistan by May 1, 2021 \u2013 just a little over three months after I took office,\u201d Biden said. \u201cU.S. forces had already drawn down during the Trump administration from roughly 15,500 American forces to 2,500 troops in [the] country, and the Taliban was at its strongest militarily since 2001.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A few days later, Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-i-would-have-withdrawn-the-troops-from-afghanistan-regardless-of-trumps-deal\">told<\/a> ABC News\u2019s George Stephanopolous that he would have withdrawn troops regardless of Trump\u2019s deal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo would you have withdrawn troops like this even if President Trump had not made that deal with the Taliban?\u201d Stephanopolous asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would\u2019ve tried to figure out how to withdraw those troops, yes, because look, George. There is no good time to leave Afghanistan. Fifteen years ago would\u2019ve been a problem, 15 years from now. The basic choice is am I gonna send your sons and your daughters to war in Afghanistan in perpetuity?\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n<p>In a press <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realLizUSA\/status\/1427371929351118850\/photo\/1\">statement<\/a>&nbsp;following Biden\u2019s address, Trump dubbed the way America left Afghanistan \u201cgrossly incompetent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The same polling data uncovered other surprising details about Biden\u2019s approval ratings. The poll has Biden\u2019s approval rating at 47 percent, just two points higher than his disapproval rating. This new data showcases a five-point drop in Biden\u2019s approval.<\/p>\n<p>One month ago, Biden was averaging a job approval rating of 52 percent and a disapproval rating of 43 percent, according to RealClearPolitics. The steep drop-off in approval came in mid-August, the same time Afghanistan fell to the Taliban.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/exclusive-bidens-job-approval-tumbles-below-50-after-afghanistan-pullout\">Biden\u2019s Job Approval Tumbles Below 50% After Afghanistan Pullout<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Other portions of the poll found that Americans are most concerned with the consequences for Afghan women and girls, as well as Afghan allies, following Biden\u2019s withdrawal of U.S. troops.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/exclusive-84-of-americans-are-concerned-about-afghan-women-following-bidens-withdrawal-from-afghanistan\">poll<\/a> found that 84 percent of Americans say they are \u201cconcerned about the consequences for Afghan women and girls.\u201d 63 percent of Americans find these consequences \u201cextremely concerning.\u201d Another 81 percent of Americans are concerned about the \u201cpersecution of Afghans who helped American troops and officials.\u201d 53 percent of this group find these consequences \u201cextremely concerning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
