And in keeping with the leftist bent of any Gannett publication they had to tell you that most of the military, 62% hates Trump, which is BS. Clicking on the link to take you to the poll to see the internals you'll see they've already taken it off their site.

Poll: Military Prefers Trump Over Clinton 2-1

Not surprising, but the 0bama regime, along with the clinton crime syndicate, will suppress the military vote like they successfully did in the past.

It doesn’t matter. The Democrats make certain few military votes are ever counted. Those are the absentee votes most likely to be discarded because they arrived too late. Who is to blame for that? Why, the government military mail service, of course.
Rigged, rigged, rigged.

That is a huge ABH (anybody but her) vote! Only 21%? Wow.

I would wager that if only Army combat arms MOSs were polled, Hillary’s support would be less than ten percent.

That was in July, but no surprise. I feel sorry for those who leave after 2017 after 20 years, they might have their discharge sign by Hillary. Maybe some will accept the signature just to get out earlier than planned.

I’m suspicious of the poll. I find it hard to believe Hillary’s numbers are that high inside the military.

because 62% against and 49% for Trump doesn’t add up to 100%. But then maybe they were counting the illegal votes that are sure to happen in their against column. Common Core Math???????????? or Clinton Lying Math???????????????????.

I just listen to Chris Hammer Retired Navy Commander who is #NeverTrump and he is such an asshole. He claims all security people are #NeverTrump. These Jackasses are the ones who don't fight wars like we did in WW2.

There is a quiet respect and support given to Mr. Trump coming from both the active military and the veterans.

Only 2:1?

Obama sure has done a lot of damage to the military in eight years. I would have expected 6:1, at least.

Any military person who is a democrat has a self hate complex.

The Military Times survey is the closest thing you’ll find to an actual “poll” of the armed forces, but their sample is drawn from their subscriber list. Respondents are typically career officers or NCOs, and because of that, Military Times claims the results skew towards the GOP.

Hardly a perfect poll, but probably more accurate than some of the other “military” surveys that have appeared in recent days. Saw one from NBC that gave Trump a 10 point lead, but that poll also sampled veterans, a group that includes everyone from the 30-year military retiree who just left active duty, to members of the Greatest Generation who served in World War II and were discharged 70 years ago. By doing that, NBC can find enough “vets” who vote Democratic to drive Hillary’s numbers up a bit.

One of the more interesting polls I just glanced at is from the National Journal. Shows Trump with a solid lead among “military households” in swing states, including Virginia, North Carolina and Nevada. However, the graphic I saw on Twitter did show the percentages for each candidate. Military/veterans represent 10-13% of the electorate in all of those states.

I live in the Old Dominion and my job focuses on education and training programs for veterans. Virginia has more than 800,000 veterans and more than 115,000 military members, active duty and retired. That represents more than 10% of the electorate, with large concentrations in Hampton Roads, northern Virginia and central Virginia (Petersburg/Fort Lee area). Unfortunately, many of the active duty service members don’t vote in here (due to Virginia’s state income tax), and there are thousands of federal workers in the D.C. suburbs who can offset the GOP’s military advantage.

Still, Trump would be well-advised to go after the veterans vote—he needs all he can muster in Virginia and North Carolina. But he hasn’t spend anything on local media (Hillary’s ads have been up on area stations for two months) and there is no ground game that I can discern.

Time to get busy or go home.

I’ve always found Military Times to be inaccurate in their reporting like they have no clue what the military does. They are very left leaning/biased.

2 to 1??????? more like 90% to 5%.

I don’t see ANY Clinton garnering much support in the military ranks. There are not enough toadying flag officers to bring Hillary’s numbers up above up above that.
