On Friday's PBS NewsHour, Washington Post columnist and MSNBC weekend host Jonathan Capehart insisted the fiasco in Afghanistan would be a "momentary blip" in the President's approval numbers.

While the latest NPR/PBS/Marist Poll was released on Wednesday showing bad numbers for President Biden, Friday night was the first mention on the NewsHour. Anchor Judy Woodruff pulled out Biden's approval number on Afghanistan: "32 percent approval, 61, almost 2-1, disapproval. What do you make of this? What does it say about the country? How long-lasting is this?"
