Rasmussen Poll: Trump a Stronger Military Leader than Clinton

A new Rasmussen Report survey released Wednesday finds voters consider presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump to be a stronger military leader than Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.

The survey shows:

    33 percent feel more safe with Trump in charge;
    20 percent prefer Clinton;
    54 percent would feel less safe with Trump as commander-in-chief;
    52 percent would feel less safe with Clinton as president.

Trump apparently generated strong emotions one way or the other, as only 9 percent said having Trump in charge of the military would make no difference in their feeling of safety, while 26 percent said that about Clinton.

In a survey just last week of the US military, Trump was a clear winner over Clinton 54 to 25 percent, The Military Times reports. The poll also showed that if military personnel had a choice between just those candidates, 21 percent would not vote for anyone. The survey included 951 active-duty servicemen, reservists, and National Guardsmen.

The Rasmussen survey of 1,000 likely voters was conducted on May 11-12. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points

Neither one served a day in the military or has a clue on military matters.

More accurate headline would be Rasmussen Poll: Both Trump, Hillary Make America Less Safe

I think any of the GOP contenders from the original list of 17 would have polled better than Hillary on that question.  With Trump however there is a large question mark on how he will perform when he gets that 3:00 am phone call. Is he able to make rational judgment calls when the wrong call could cost the deaths of thousands?  He has not earned my trust there at all.

Interesting .....   ^-^

Trump knows nothing about the military or any other function of government. He is erratic, but at least he will be awake to take the 3 AM call busily sending out insulting tweets.
