Poll: Active Duty U.S. Service Members Prefer Trump Over Clinton


Military Times: Military Times survey: Troops prefer Trump to Clinton by a huge margin

In a new survey of American military personnel, Donald Trump emerged as active-duty service members' preference to become the next U.S. president, topping Hillary Clinton by more than a 2-to-1 margin. However, in the latest Military Times election survey, more than one in five troops said they’d rather not vote in November if they have to choose between just those two candidates.

But given only those choices, 21 percent of the service members surveyed said they would abstain from voting.More than 54 percent of the 951 troops Military Times surveyed said they would vote for Trump, the presumed Republican presidential nominee, over Clinton, the Democratic front-runner. Only about 25 percent said they would vote for Clinton in that matchup.

WNU Editor: An interesting poll. Of the two I regard Hillary Clinton more as the "hawk" on defence, military, and national security issues than Donald Trump.

I recall reading a few years ago that no one in the U.S. Secret Service wanted to be assigned to the Hillary Clinton detail. Apparently member former agents regarded her to inconsiderate, rude, and condescending. I guess her rep has percolated to the military.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff will get along better with Trump than Clinton IMHO.

The 16 year old Hillary would make better judgment calls than the current Hillary.
