flyangler Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 4 hours ago, Markushook said: Why would troops vote, against, the guy who wants to bring them home? One of the reasons Moonie did not quote more from the website - this followed his quoted bit: Quote Poll limitations Rosalinda Maury, director of applied research at IVMF, said the poll serves as an important reminder that the military — much like the rest of the country — is made up of a large collection of different experiences and perspectives. “We do see consistencies from poll to poll, aspects of national security that may be more of a focus for a military audience,” she said. “But the military is not a homogenous population. You do see a variety of opinions, especially within subsets of the military.” But she noted the poll, which has been administered in the same way for the past four years, is not a perfect snapshot of public opinion within the entire military force. 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.” ...... The splits between officer and enlisted views within the poll are notable. More than 59 percent of officers said they have a poor view of the president, with more than half saying they strongly disapprove. Among enlisted respondents, 47 percent said they have an unfavorable view, and nearly 39 percent a favorable view. Enlisted views of Trump’s performance in office have consistently been more favorable than those of officers in the poll over the last four years. Feaver said that could be due to officers’ predisposition to long-term military careers, and a negative reaction to Trump’s comments against the “deep state” and other career federal positions. “No nation in history has survived once its borders were destroyed, once its citizenship was rendered no different from mere residence, and once its neighbors with impunity undermined its sovereignty.” - Victor Davis Hanson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyangler Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Funny how I get called out to respond to a poll in the title of this thread, but I have posted this one several times without comment from Moonie nor any of the other liberals having fun above. Up 9% to 24% approval among registered black voters and yet not a peep from the Usual Suspects - I wonder why? Poll: Trump approval rises among black, hispanic voters amid convention 8/28/2020 President Trump's support among black voters rose 9 percentage points amid the Republican National Convention, a new Hill-HarrisX poll finds. Twenty-four percent of registered black voters in the Aug. 22-25 survey, which included the first two days of the convention, said they approve of the job Trump is doing as president, while 76 percent said they disapprove. That is up 9 points from the previous survey conducted Aug. 8-11, where the President received 15 percent support among this group. The survey found support among Hispanic voters also grew by 2 percentage points, from 30 percent in the last poll to 32 percent in this most recent survey. “No nation in history has survived once its borders were destroyed, once its citizenship was rendered no different from mere residence, and once its neighbors with impunity undermined its sovereignty.” - Victor Davis Hanson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnewBee Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Trump's service member support has dropped a bit, but I don't think it matters much considering the very small percentile. Veterans still have a higher rating of him than the general population, and those numbers are larger. Still can't see why anyone would have a favorable view of the disaster that is Trump, especially considering his abhorrent character. Hope he suffers a loss in Nov along with the GOP. Hoo Ya America!

KnewBee Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 "...Joe Biden leads President Trump by a 43%-37% margin among active-duty troops, according to a Military Times poll published Monday. Flashback: In a similar poll conducted shortly before the 2016 election, Trump led Hillary Clinton by a 41%-21% margin. Since 2016, though, the president's approval rating among active-duty troops has fallen from 46% to 38%, while his disapproval rating has climbed to 50%..." As reported by Axios. They are referencing the same poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
