Oh, it was an online survey, that probably explains why their numbers appear off. Hell they had Trumps approval at 46% in the military in 2016 and we know that's completely wrong because exit polling had military votes at over 60% for Trump.

Not in the 40 yrs I’ve been around military. They obey and keep opinions to self - but anonymously. Ha !

Similar to past surveys, this poll showed significant gaps in views of the president among various subsets of the military.

Did anyone see the Army Navy game?




Please try to get a clue at some point.

Exactly! My son graduated the Air Force Academy in May. Trump was enthusiastically received! No booing and all cheers!

Yep, even with the rigged polls, Trump rated higher than Obama.

You guys know it is possible to be unhappy with Trump but also not want to elect a Democrat...right?

Sure. Probably less than 5% of active duty military would support the extremist clowns in charge of the Democrat Party. That doesn't mean all 95% plus like Trump.

While anecdotal, my fellow military service member friends who are traditionally conservative (and will be voting for POTUS in 2020) but who would be among the "disapprove" crowd generally do not like the intervention in some of the military specific cases that POTUS has involved himself in. But they tend to approve of POTUS generally.

In any case, if Dems think this means they will win the military vote in 2020, I have a bridge to sell them.
Count me as a person who disapproves of Trump but disapproves of the Democrats even more.

Interesting but meaningless... I don't know anyone in the military that doesn't like Trump... Other than those on camera for the Democrats....

Military times is the left leaning outlet for the military. I’m sure this poll is not accurate
