Biden's average approval rating was generally over 50% in the first 7 months of his presidency. In late July, his approval rating started to decline. With the fall of Kabul in mid-August and a majority of Americans disapproving of Biden's handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan,^[1] as well as the continued rise in COVID-19 cases, his average disapproval rating became higher than his average approval rating in late August. Biden started having an average disapproval rating of over 50% in late October.^[2] By then, Afghanistan had largely faded from the news, leading some to believe the COVID-19 pandemic, worsened by the Delta variant,^[3] and the polarization regarding measures like vaccine mandates,^[4] caused his low approval rating. Others have emphasized that the high inflation, which hit a 39-year high,^[5][6] negatively affected his approval rating.^[7][8]
