Al.com: Trump's approval rating among military slips; lowest among Army
President Donald Trump's approval rating among members of the military has slipped slightly since he took office two years ago, according to a poll by Military Times.
Trump's most recent overall approval rating was 43.8 percent, down from 46.1 percent in 2016. His disapproval rating was 43.1 percent, up from 37 percent two years ago.
Troops overwhelmingly support Trump's handling of military issues over that of former President Barack Obama, however. More than 60 percent said they believe the military is in better shape now than under Obama and nearly the same number have a favorable view of Trump's handling of the military, the poll showed.
Only 13 percent believed the military was in better shape under Obama than Trump.

They must have polled a bunch of pencil pushers (pog) I’m sure support for trump is much higher overall. Some also might be shy or afraid to admit it.
Donald Trump Says He's Too 'Busy' to Visit U.S. Troops Overseas but Has Played Golf Almost 70 Times
Good work there Clinton
soldier boy:
you are "sure" support much higher and you base that on??nada, zip, zero, nothing...ok: religious conviction
name calling=Deplorable
If the president can’t get recreational time, neither should any of his citizens. Try working 24/7 365 days. I’m sure you will crack after a week
I agree. Plus golf is a sport that allows you to work while playing. I often keep working/thinking during my exercises as well. Having said that, I remember Fox gave Obama a hard time when he was seen golfing. So this wasn't really fair on him either, and didn't make Fox look good. All in all, I'd say cnn's 92% negative coverage of Trump makes Fox look like a much better network today, and cnn much worse and biased than Fox -ever- was. And that doesn't even touch all the wrong and missing information that cnn used to create parrots like Fred
Do not believe that pool, tis bogus. Military tends to be conservative, this poll is BS and is stating the military are leftist nuts like them.
Seven years active duty actually.....
If he truly has played 70 times since becoming president that means he plays golf once every 9 days...not sure if that’s a good or bad number...
