This poll is not a poll at all. The paper (which is close to BK btw) polled its subscribers. The majority of subscribers to those rags are liberals within the ranks. Yes, there are those. Always have been. Kerry and Vindmann (Oh say can you see) are Poster Boys for the type.

“1,018 alleged military personnel polled out of how many total active-duty military?”

They know how to screen who they sample, to get the results they want. Then they tighten the screens over time, to show supposed trends.

Gender, age, race, rank, hometown, Party registration, etc.

No.

Don’t forget there’s a difference between kids on a university campus and young people in the military.

Wait, in 2016 they found that 35% of the military were going to vote for a third party???

Does not compute.

Doesn’t not seem a small sample compared to national polls, actually in comparison, seems a large sample.

I’d weigh this 50/50 for probability.

Millennials make up a large part of the military, and many were huge Bernie supporters. Anyone who thinks the military is filled with conservative, god-fearing young people has not been paying attention. Many new recruits were have no idea what the pre-PC military once was.

There is probably an element of truth to this. The constant drumbeat of fake news on the topic is sure to have some effect. Rather than dismissing it, President Trump needs to hit Biden and the entire democrat/socialist party hard on their anti-American and anti-military positions.

This a three-day old story, has already been posted, and has been exposed as a major left-wing publication.

Why post a story that stinks to high heaven from the get go?

Wake up; such a post only gives credence to enemies of the state!

They only polled the transgendered in the military.

“Even if true that doesn’t automatically equate to a positive view of Biden.”

Politics is a game of inches. They just keep chipping away.

Internal polling for the SocDems and Rinos must be pretty bad.

Considering the officers promoted during bammy’s tenure there’s no telling what kind of nonsense the troops have been subjected to.
