The Military Times has released a new poll among U.S. troops and its findings are bad news for President Trump. Conducted between July 27 and August 10, 2020 among 1,018 active-duty service members, it found that Trump has experienced a continuous decline in support from service members since his election in 2016. In the year he took office, 46.1% of service members viewed him as favorable and that slid to 37.8% by August of this year. The research found that 49.9% of respondents held a negative view of the president in 2019 and 2020. 7.9% currently view him as very unfavorable with 42% finding him generally unfavorable. Trump still does have strong support among some members of military with 24.5% holding a very favorable view of the commander-in-chief in August 2020, 13.3% finding him favorable and the remaining 12.3% holding a neutral opinion.
Compared to a similar Military Times poll conducted in 2016, Trump is heading into the November election without a healthy lead among service members. In October 2016, he held 40.5% of voting intention among military ranks, far ahead of Hillary Clinton's 20.6%. The remaining 34.3% of respondents said they would opt for a third party candidate. Fast-forward to August 2020 and Joe Biden is the most popular candidate with 41.3% of service members intending to vote for him this November compared to 37.4% who say they will vote for Trump. The share of the military looking towards a third party this time around has declined to 12.8%. The Republican Party has long considered the military a key part of its supporter base and these levels of unfavorability are unprecedented for a GOP president.

Why are you posting and disseminating fake bull sh*t?
Horse stuff!
Derp State Bullshit !
Fake poll from Stars and Stripes subscribers. S&S is the equivalent of the New York Times. Any questions?
One ridiculous story based on a biased poll has gotten WAY more mileage making the rounds than it could possibly deserve. Thank you never-Trumpers.
Trump’s fault.
The Military Time article is quite good, after the beginning...
“About 40 percent of troops surveyed identified as Republican or Libertarian, 16 percent Democrats, and 44 percent independent or another party.”
16% Dems! That’ that’s practically a rounding error LOL!
The Military Times must be of the Mattis / Esper wing of the military.
Man, they ARE in panic/meltdown mode....two hits on Trump/Military within 24 hrs.
This may backfire even BIGGER than their other backfires.
Going against one of THE biggest support groups, of POTUS, and, who POTUS has helped in SO many areas.
Give it up, deranged lefties. We’re completely on to your d@mn @ss lies
Yep. What we are seeing now is a completely coordinated, multi-media strategic attack on Trump. Social media, mainstream media, never-Trumpers and the Biden campaign are obviously colluding in order to have a uniform message. How, all of a sudden — on the same day — are there all these negative Trump stories involving the military? It’s all coordinated. I have a feeling this is probably the first of several that are planned.
What will be next? Religious people don’t like Trump anymore? Farmers all of a sudden are cooling on Trump? Red-staters? Law Enforcement?
There’s no dishonor for Liberals and the corrupt to flat-out lie anymore, so why not create a full on fictional narrative to take Trump off his message so he has to defend himself against this tripe?
I needed some new ammo to go after a liberal friend of mine...
This is standard DNC modus operandi.
Note how this is coordinated with the fake news about Trump in France a few years ago.
It’s planned and coordinated, just like they tried to coordinate Jussie Smollet being “lynched” with Harris’s campaign kick-off and the anti-lynching Bill she sponsored.
They plan this crap and coordinate with the affiliated media outlets.
Yesterday the fake story of Trump disparaging dead military soldiers, today this story. A definite orchestrated campaign to discredit Trump with the military.
No it’s not. Young officers are mainly Obamaites. The enlisted are more solid. All our youth are affected having CNN pumped at them daily. Seriously.
Interesting:
Just 15% of active-duty servicemembers gave Obama a thumbs up in the annual Military Times survey and more than half — 55% — say they disapprove of Obama’s job as commander-in-chief.

So they have a new anti-Trump "article", a new anti-Trump ad, new anti-Trump questions (and canned answers for Biden) and a new anti-Trump poll--all within the space of 48 hours?
Nope, this isn't coordinated at all. /s
Maybe some more of the soldiers are wanting Trump to release the hounds of military force against the Communists?
Just putting it out there.
‘The Big Lie’ is alive and well within the lamestream media today, be assured. Geobbels would be proud.
There's a commercial too??
Hahaha!
It's not funny, but it's so ridiculous I can't help but laugh.
Amazing you’d search this out and then post it. I wouldn’t have posted this bull shit if ya paid me to do it.
