President Joe Biden ran as a competent replacement for the more erratic approach of former President Donald Trump. But his botched withdrawal from Afghanistan is the latest in a number of failures, and they all trace back to the president himself.

Biden’s approval rating has finally dropped under 50% and is rapidly approaching his disapproval rating, which has now risen to 47.2% in the RealClearPolitics polling average. A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted on Monday found Biden’s approval rating sat at 46%, a drop from a similar poll from the same outfit on Friday.
