For the first time in President Biden's eight months in office a majority of Americans disapprove of his job performance. According to the latest Gallup statistics, the US President's approval rating has dipped to a dismal 43 percent - its lowest level to date. Only six percent of Republicans rated Biden favourably between September 1 and September 17.

       His approval amongst Democrats was predictably much stronger standing at 90 percent, however, it is the lowest he has scored within his key demographic.

       Mr Biden received harsh criticism from across the political spectrum over his chaotic efforts to evacuate Americans and vulnerable people from Afghanistan.

       This criticism reached a fever pitch after terrorism organisation ISIS-K carried out an attack outside Kabul’s airport, killing 13 US service members and more than 170 Afghan civilians.

       The President has also received significant backlash from a litany of Covid mandates including his announcement that all US employers with 100 or more workers must require their workers to get fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or conduct to weekly testing.
