Joe Biden’s support seems to be dwindling, according to the Western Journal.

“Thirty-four percent (34%) of voters strongly approved of Biden’s job performance in February, while 39% strongly disapproved,” Rasmussen showed.
“This gives him his first full-month Presidential Approval Index rating of -5. When Trump first took office in January 2017, he earned a full-month Approval Index rating of -4 after his first full month. During his final full month in office, his Approval Index rating was -8.”
Studies have shown that out of approximately 10,000 likely voters, records show a 50 percent approval and 47 percent disapproval rate following Joe Biden’s first month in office.
Also what is the legal authority for strikes? Assad is a brutal dictator. But Syria is a sovereign country.

I strongly support our men and women in uniform and believe we must hold Assad accountable for his unconscionable use of chemical weapons. But I am deeply concerned about the legal rationale of last night’s strikes.

More from The Western Journal:
It’s certainly interesting to see presidential approval polls come following the election, especially considering the fact that the current president received more votes in 2020 than any candidate had ever before, beating former President Barack Obama’s record by over 11 million votes.
Biden’s apparent drastic drop in ratings might have come from a multitude of things. For example, a migrant influx care center recently opened in Carrizo Springs, Texas, for which Biden was criticized by some members of his own party, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.
Some might have also disapproved of Biden’s recent missile strike in Syria, in heavy contrast with his and his team’s criticism of Trump’s use of force in the Middle East, which include tweets from both his press secretary Jen Psaki and current Vice President Kamala Harris.
