More active-duty U.S. troops say they’ll back Vice President Joseph R. Biden instead of President Trump in the November election, a new poll shows, continuing a steady decline in the president’s favorability rating among a bloc of voters that usually leans solidly Republican.
A Military Times survey released Monday found that if the election were held today, 41% of active-duty troops say they’d vote for the Democratic nominee, 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.
