More troops say they'll vote for Biden than Trump: poll
Military Times survey shows Trump's favorability keeps dropping among active-duty troops
By Ben Wolfgang - The Washington Times - Monday, August 31, 2020
More active-duty U.S. troops say they’ll vote for former Vice President Joseph R. Biden than President Trump in the November election, a new poll shows, continuing a steady decline in the commander in chief’s favorability ratings among service members.
A Military Times survey released Monday found that if the election were held today, 41% of active-duty troops say they’d vote for Mr. Biden, compared to just 37% for the president. Another 13% said they intend to back a third-party candidate, while 9% said they’d skip the presidential election altogether. The Military Times surveyed 1,018 active-duty troops for the poll.
The results come as the president gears up for the home stretch of the campaign and as he and other Republicans count on strong military support at the polls in November. Rebuilding the military and winding down “endless wars†abroad, the president has said, are among the greatest achievements of his time in office.
