Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden leads President Trump by nearly 6 points among active-duty troops, according to a new Military Times poll released on Monday, suggesting that the president’s support may be eroding among a group he sees as a part of his political base.
The poll, conducted in partnership with the Institute for Veterans and Military Families at Syracuse University with participants chosen from Military Times subscribers, showed Biden garnering 43 percent support among active-duty service members to Trump’s 37 percent.
By comparison, a similar poll from October 2016 showed Trump leading then-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton by roughly 20 points among military voters.

An obvious lie.
Come to think of it, one of the armed forces Chiefs piped up recently and declared "priority one" is diversity and inclusion; not combat readiness. I think it was the Marine Corps commandant, but it may have been the Navy.
The Navy reminds me of the whiner in charge Theodore Roosevelt (Capt. Crozier) that was relieved for disseminating ship's readiness disposition in a whining email with broad distribution outside of the chain of command.
It's not a stretch to say the the officer corps O-5 and higher is top-heavy with Vindmans.
The 20% Silent Trump vote. There’s your answer.
I do not believe this poll...unless the majority of our troops are suicidal. Which they are not.
You’ve got a lot of pony soldiers serving these days,
I gave myself 10 minutes to debunk this poll. It took 5.
“The average age of poll respondents was nearly 39 years, and the participant pool was culled and verified from Military Times subscriber lists and databases.
Feaver said the poll “is a good sample of the career-oriented military members’ views, which may be different from the junior enlisted view of things.”
Yeah. Lifers close to retirement, then “culled,” whatever that means. Not a random sample. Not representative. Highly biased, imo.
It's like they never intended to Honor their Oath.
Biden holds 6-point lead over Trump among troops.
No. He does not.
No sir.
The MT went all lefty a few years ago.
They are now less credible than MSNBC.
Most are patriots, serving their country.
Keep in mind MT is all lefty now, and the “questions”. . .push poll at best.
Respectfully disagree,
Most officers are loyal patriots that, at least, served in combat and as someone said, it is the soldier above all others that abhors war as he has experienced it and knows its cost.
Most serve selflessly, they have good friends and even family members at risk. Risking their lives or the lives of loved ones is not supported for frivolous reasons.
(Exemption to that, usually it are female officers that want war, it is viewed as a step towards promotion.)
Studies have remained constant; men enlist primarily for sense of duty, females because of education and travel opportunities.
Yeah, controversial, but the guys in the basement in the various military schools do these studies all the time—just not released because of PC reasons. Studies done to determine how best to recruit so the military studies what draws recruits.
Cheers.
So NOW I know where Baghdad Bob has finally found work!!
(Well; except for the moonlighting gig at DNC.)
Can you tell us how many DON'T?
Well now; who can disagree with that?!
Nope; had to look him up.
But I DID find this...
The U.S. Military Academy at West Point held its graduation and commissioning ceremony for the Class of 2018 at Michie Stadium in West Point, N.Y., May 26, 2018.Nine hundred and seventy-two cadets graduated, including 193 women, 105 African-Americans, 180 Asian/Pacific Islanders, 78 Hispanics and 16 Native Americans.
...folks who evidently were NOT commies!
Nope.
I wonder what he's doing these days??
Keep your head in the sand
I’ve a grandson that graduated from WP.
I think my hearsay is a little closer to the source than yours.
Hey Mark!
What’s the feedback from YOUR bus driver?
We’re believing polls now?
