Poll: Nearly 2/3 Say Afghan Exit Bungled

Breitbart links to a Golden/TIPP poll which finds that 63% agreed at least somewhat that the way Biden pulled U.S. forces out of Afghanistan was wrong. Some 28% disagreed with that assertion at least somewhat, and 9% reported having no opinion. 

One interesting finding was that single and married women disagreed equally with the bungled diagnosis (31% in each case), but married women were much more likely than single women to agree it was bungled (62% vs. 53%). 

Without overworking stereotypes, it appears single women pay less attention to the national news. We see this in the cross tabs for Whites, where 96% of men have an opinion, one way or the other, while only 89% of women express an opinion. In a poll of 1300 respondents, over half of whom are White, I conclude the difference found is significant.

BTW, if you are wondering who the "Golden" is, his full name is James Golden. For many years he worked for Rush Limbaugh using the stage name "Bo Snerdley." Golden now has his own radio talk show and the TIPP polls exist to provide him talking points.
