It was one year ago today when Joe Biden was sworn in as the 46th President of the United States.
After enjoying 6-7 months of a majority of Americans approving of his job performance, things took a disastrous turn in August with the Biden administration's bungling the withdrawal of U.S. military personnel from Afghanistan. He's been underwater in his job approval ratings ever since.
To me, this is the most damning stat:
Gallup: Joe Biden's job approval drops eight net points, falling to 40-56 (was 43-51) - the worst approval of his presidency.

Donald Trump's approval on Gallup at the end of January 2018 (end of first year)? 39-57.
Trump's approval numbers were slightly worse one year in to his presidency (-18 to Biden's -16). However, Trump had a full court press of negative media coverage plus the perpetuation of a true "Big Lie," which was his election having been illegitimate due to his colluding with Russia. Biden's dismal numbers have been earned on merit due to the Afghan withdrawal in addition to 40-year high inflation, gas shortages, supply chain issues, bumbling through the response to COVID-19, etc.
So how does the administration plan to stem the tide of this tsunami of incompetence? Why, call in Tom Hanks to put lipstick on the proverbial hog of course.
