Presidential Polling Numbers Slipping

For John, BLUF:  The half-life of a memory in US politics is 90 days.  How long will the stink last?  It depends on Afghanistan.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Biden Polls Crater:  Most Want Him to Resign, Shocking Number Is on Impeachment

From Red State, by Reporter Nick Arama, 1 September 2021, 8:30 PM ET.

Here is the lede plus one:

Joe Biden’s ship has finally run aground on the polls.

They began to nosedive at the beginning of the Afghanistan debacle in the middle of last month.  For example, his polling average went under 50 by August 16.

But now, Biden’s numbers have absolutely cratered in all respects.

Both the Real Clear Politics average and the FiveThirtyEight average were underwater.

FiveThiryEight had 47.2 disapproving and 46.7 approving.

The problem isn't just the President.  The polling regarding the Vice President isn't good either:

Just 38% say Harris is qualified to assume the duties of being president.

I thing "run aground" may be an overstatement.  If Jahadi Terrorists hold off, if the Taliban plays nice with the West and holds off cracking down on women, the COVID-19 will soon push to the front and take center stage.  That gives the President another shot.

Or, an incoherent plan with regard to COVID-19, and the economy, could keep the numbers depressed.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
