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.

On the other hand, if they believe this, then maybe, just maybe, they won’t interfere in the processing of mail-in military ballots! :)

Hahahahaha!

In order to promote diversity, Military Times contacted only transgender service members for the 2020 poll.

Clearly the military is for the unnecessary unending wars Biden has supported. /s

I just finished doing a poll of thousands of *likely* voters from among members of FR.

The results are in: 95% for Biden, 5% for Trump. MOE is 0.0%.

/sarcasm on severe.

WARNING: Don’t hold breath for the internals.

The truth of this would be seen if the Democrats push for military absentee ballots to be counted properly.

“The poll was conducted from July 27-Aug. 10 and is based on online responses from 1,018 active-duty troops. The list of participants was culled from Military Times subscriber lists and databases. The poll has a margin of error of less than 2 percentage points.”

LOL. No way in hell the senile idiot takes the military vote, unless they magically get lost.

But the poll from 2016 showing Trump 20 points ahead of Hillary was believable?

Would there be more “shy” military than average voters? My guess is yes.

Just remember, Ovomit radically changed leadership in the military, and along with those changes, came new methods and information taught recruits. PROGRESSIVE information.
