Americans don't trust Biden on Afghan actions

 The Lid:

A hard-hitting new Rasmussen survey taken before Thursday’s suicide bombing at the Kabul Airport shows a sobering 54 percent of likely voters “don’t trust what administration officials are saying” about Afghanistan. don’t trust Biden administration

Only 34 percent do, and the partisan breakdown is predictable, with Democrats (60%) trusting the Biden administration while 79 percent of Republicans and 63 percent of Independents not trusting the president at all on this issue.

If that poll were taken Thursday, as 12 American soldiers and Marines lay dead, the numbers would likely be far worse.

According to the new Rasmussen poll, “Most Republicans (82%) believe the current situation in Afghanistan is worse than Biden administration officials are saying, as do 34% of Democrats and 66% of unaffiliated voters.”

And the survey also revealed, “Seventy percent (70%) of Republicans, 32% of Democrats, and 59% of unaffiliated voters don’t trust what the news media are reporting about the current situation in Afghanistan. Republicans (76%) are more likely than Democrats (38%) or unaffiliated voters (58%) to believe the situation in Afghanistan is worse than the media portrays it.”

One of the ways we got into this situation is that Biden did not believe the intelligence and what the military was telling him.  Why anyone believes Biden at this point is strictly partisan preferences and not based on the reality.
