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 presidents 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 Trumps 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.

participants chosen from Military Times subscribers
How about polling from Garden and Guns subscribers?
I spent time in the military and the only newspaper I ever saw was the Stars and Stripes.
In fact this is the first time I have heard of the Military Times.
Suuuure- because we all know the military is just itchign to be defunded again liek they were under obama- they just can’t wait to lose their fundign and their jobs many of them
I can just see the higher ups i na room sittign aroudn noodling the issue over and saying “Ya know? We’ve been doign great for 4 years now- plenty of funding, plenty of improvments, plenty of support from govenrment now, but by golly we just miss the old days, under obama, when funds were so scarce that we didn’t have a properly equipped army anymore- Let’s rectify that and vote for Biden- BNring back the glory days of defudned military units”
The Military Times is owned by The Gannett Company.
Egads- excuse the spelling- didn’t run spell check before posting-
LOL! I noticed that. The Military Times is basically HuffPo in olive drab these days.
Particularly the young “skulls full of mush”.
I highly doubt it.
Is the army full of Vindmans now?
*****************************
Well, the Army Times is clearly run by and staffed with leftist, globalist agendanistas! It didnt used to be that way. Anyhow, the poll is BullCrap.
They’ve always made them up. Why would they put this out? Not for us to rage about, it’s a psyop aimed at telling people in the military that it’s ok not to support Trump, because they’ll be going along with the feelings of their fellow troops.
Groupthink.
Military members by nature are going to be law and order type voters. full time Active duty members are typically very conservative, while part-timers in the guard and reserves are loaded with liberals.
I don’t get it myself, but it does seem to be a surprisingly high percentage. Even if the “most” part is a...an exaggeration.
if that’s true, we need NEW troops.
Twenty percent of active duty are wisely keeping their mouths shut.
What’s that smell...?
And they're usually home with the kids when the phone has been rung by the Military Times pollster or they see the poll in the Military Times and jump on line to punch in the web address and take the poll for the whole family. And so it goes...
No doubt the Left has infiltrated the military, just as the Bolsheviks did in Russia...
