West Long Branch, NJ<\/em> \u2013 Most Americans agree with the U.S. leaving Afghanistan, even if many think the actual withdrawal was seriously mishandled. Still, few believe that postponing the pullout would have improved the situation, according to the latest Monmouth (\u201cMon-muth\u201d) University Poll<\/em><\/strong>. The poll also finds a dip in public sentiment that the country is heading in the right direction and evenly divided opinion on President Joe Biden\u2019s job performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden currently holds a job rating of 46% approve and 46% disapprove. His approval number has declined since April (54%). This drop has happened among all partisan groups. The president gets a positive rating from 86% of Democrats (95% in April), 40% of independents (47% in April), and 5% of Republicans (11% in April).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The percentage of Americans who say the country is headed in the right direction (29%) versus the wrong track (65%) has become more negative since July (38% right direction to 56% wrong track). The right direction rating hit an eight-year high in April (46%), but has declined since then. The current reading is similar to the results for this metric just after the November election (26% right direction and 68% wrong track).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMost Americans approve of ending the war in Afghanistan, but the images of a disorderly withdrawal did not help Biden at a time when the rise in Covid cases is already unsettling the public,\u201d said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Americans are divided over whether Biden seriously mishandled the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan (48%) or if he did the best he could in a bad situation (49%). At the same time, only 29% believe the current Afghan situation would have been better if the U.S. had postponed the withdrawal deadline until later in the year. Most Americans (62%) say the situation there would be the same no matter when we withdrew. Among those who feel Biden mishandled the situation, 47% say it would have been better if the U.S. pushed back its deadline while 42% say the situation would have been the same regardless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two-thirds of Americans (66%) approve of the decision to withdraw the U.S. presence in Afghanistan. Just 27% disapprove. Approval for this policy decision, regardless of how the actual pullout was handled, comes from about 3 in 4 Democrats (76%) and independents (72%) but just under half of Republicans (47%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDonald Trump actually teed up the decision to withdraw, but Republicans are divided about the policy. It\u2019s not a stretch to imagine this partisan split on making the call to leave Afghanistan would have been flipped if the move happened under the former president\u2019s watch,\u201d said Murray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About one-third of the public (32%) says it is very likely that the Afghanistan withdrawal will lead to a foreign terrorist attack on U.S. soil in the next few years, and another third (32%) say this is somewhat likely. More Republicans (59%) than independents (31%) and Democrats (10%) feel that a terrorist attack arising from the U.S. leaving Afghanistan is very likely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The poll also finds the public\u2019s job rating for Congress stands at 22% approve and 65% disapprove. Congressional approval had been hovering between 30% and 35% at the beginning of the year, but dropped in June (to 21%). The current reading is in line with Monmouth polls through most of the Trump years, when approval ranged between 16% and 25% except for two 32% marks in the early months of the pandemic last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Monmouth University Poll<\/em> was conducted by telephone from September 9 to 13, 2021 with 802 adults in the United States.  The question results in this release have a margin of error of +\/- 3.5 percentage points. The poll was conducted by the Monmouth University Polling Institute in West Long Branch, NJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

METHODOLOGY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Monmouth University Poll<\/em> was sponsored and conducted by the Monmouth University Polling Institute from September 9 to 13, 2021 with a national random sample of 802 adults age 18 and older. This includes 281 contacted by a live interviewer on a landline telephone and 521 contacted by a live interviewer on a cell phone, in English. Telephone numbers were selected through a mix of random digit dialing and list-based sampling. Landline respondents were selected with a modified Troldahl-Carter youngest adult household screen. Monmouth is responsible for all aspects of the survey design, data weighting and analysis. The full sample is weighted for region, age, education, gender and race based on US Census information (ACS 2018 one-year survey). Data collection support provided by Braun Research (field), Dynata (RDD sample), and Aristotle (list sample). For results based on this sample, one can say with 95% confidence that the error attributable to sampling has a maximum margin of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points (unadjusted for sample design). Sampling error can be larger for sub-groups (see table below). In addition to sampling error, one should bear in mind that question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of opinion polls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
