Biden\u2019s approval fell ten points from July to August among independents, from 46% to 36%; it fell 5 points among Democrats, from 90% to 85%, and 1 point among Republicans, from 6% to 5%. The president fell a total of 6 points from July to August, according to the poll.<\/p>\n<p>The poll also confirmed that a vast majority of Americans \u2014 Republican and Democrat \u2014 supported withdrawing troops from Afghanistan. Nevertheless, a large majority of Americans viewed Biden\u2019s execution of the withdrawal as a failure. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/06\/30\/biden-approval-rating-slips-democrats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Poll: Biden Approval Rating Slips Among Democrats)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The country remains deeply divided on whether domestic or international terrorism represents the most severe threat to the U.S. The vast majority of Republicans argue it is international terrorism, while Democrats overwhelmingly say the opposite.
