The latest Military Times poll shows a continued decline in active-duty service members’ views of President Donald Trump and a slight but significant preference for former Vice President Joe Biden in the upcoming November election among troops surveyed.
The results, collected before the political conventions earlier this month, appear to undercut claims from the president that his support among military members is strong thanks to big defense budget increases in recent years and promised moves to draw down troops from overseas conflict zones.
But the Military Times Polls, surveying active-duty troops in partnership with the Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF) at Syracuse University, have seen a steady drop in troops’ opinion of the commander in chief since his election four years ago.
In the latest results — based on 1,018 active-duty troops surveyed in late July and early August — nearly half of respondents (49.9 percent) had an unfavorable view of the president, compared to about 38 percent who had a favorable view. Questions in the poll had a margin of error of up to 2 percent.
You can't fool the troops.
No president in history has ever had nicer things to say about America’s enemies than Trump, just as no president has ever had nastier things to say about America’s friends.
General Mattis was an extremely popular leader in the Marines. He said Trump was trying to divide the country and “make a mockery of our Constitution.”
Admiral McRaven, former commander of Special Operations Command, wrote that "through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation."
And that was before Trump couldn't be bothered to react to the news that his friend Putin had paid a bounty to the Taliban to kill American troops.

Expect him to attack the use of absetee ballots even harder now.

You have never been a “troop”, so you have no idea how wrong you are.

Trump hasn't exactly been a friend of the military. He's attacked the military and military personnel when they didn't match lock-step with him. He insulted all POWs while attacking McCain. Trump gives not one **** about our military and the courageous Americans committed to it.

Actually I'm a USMC Desert Storm veteran. Honorably served and honorably discharged.
Perhaps try some other personal smear that isn't wrong? I await your apology smallvoice.

Interesting how you didn't mention Biden at all.
Expect him to attack the use of absetee ballots even harder now.
I don't think he has the intestinal fortitude to apologize.

A slight but significant difference does not mean the military has soured on the president.
