The Taliban’s abrupt takeover of Kabul has unleashed a multi-pronged debate over President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw the U.S. military from Afghanistan, raising questions about whether Americans are OK with ceding foreign territory to the same forces that harbored the planners of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and sharing their own country with the thousands of Afghans who assisted American forces for nearly two decades.
After a week of chaos in Kabul that grappled with both of those issues, a new Morning Consult/Politico poll found growing acceptance of the withdrawal even if the Taliban will be in charge of Afghanistan. The bulk of voters also support the relocation of Afghan civilians to the United States.
According to the Aug. 21-24 survey, more voters than not (47 percent) said they support withdrawing U.S. military forces from Afghanistan even if the Taliban takes control, up 9 percentage points over the course of a week. And a 45 percent plurality said the same when presented with the idea that the withdrawal could create an opening for Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups to establish operations, up by a similar margin.
