Staff Reports
In the most recent Rasmussen Reports survey, it has become abundantly clear that most voters are not dazzled by President Joe Biden’s performance as commander in chief. In fact, a mere 23% of respondents viewed the aging chief as a “stronger” commander compared to past presidents, while a whopping 53% labeled him as a weaker commander in chief than his predecessors. Another 20% quipped that he is “about the same,” but who can really say for sure?
Commander in weak: Most see feeble Biden military leadership https://t.co/cmajas2GaR https://t.co/cmajas2GaR

President Biden’s less-than-stellar reputation as a commander in chief has been further exacerbated by recent reports indicating that the military is struggling, yes, struggling to meet its volunteer recruiting goals. It’s like a never-ending Bed Bath & Beyond coupon – just when you think things couldn’t get any worse, they do.
To add fuel to the fire, let’s not forget that while President Biden was of military age during the Vietnam War draft, he miraculously escaped service with multiple student deferments. Coincidence? Perhaps not. And as if that weren’t enough, the cherry on top is that he never actually served. Well, color us surprised.
But wait, there’s more! President Biden’s military leadership, or lack thereof, has come under intense scrutiny, especially in the wake of his hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan. Let’s not mince words here – it was a hot mess, and tragically, 13 service members paid the ultimate price in a suicide bombing. Way to go, Mr. President.
While it’s important to note that the survey leaned Democratic and included a higher percentage of veterans, a whopping 18%, than the 6% who have served in other recent studies, the overall sentiment is clear: President Biden’s performance as commander in chief is about as appealing as a soggy sandwich. And that’s putting it mildly.
