MSM has been pushing all kinds of polls in news taken every day of the week except this one... is this because it points to low morale of troops and failed Obama-Hillary foreign policy strategy?

Military Times: Mere 15 Percent of Troops Approve of Obama

Few of the soldiers polled believed their situation would improve: 70 percent of those Military Times surveyed said that they expected quality of life under military employment to decrease further in the future.
Pay and benefits aren’t the only cause of pessimism in the ranks. Some in the military worry that the the armed forces aren’t being adequately led into the future, and declining morale could signal a general lack of confidence in the military’s leadership.

MSNBC reports that in 2011 ” only 26 percent of Army leaders who participated agreed with the statement that the Army ‘is headed in the right direction to prepare for the challenges of the next 10 years.'”

Since this poll was taken, ISIS bloodbath in Syria, Benghazi, Iraq & attacks in Europe/around the world have gotten much worse. Won't be surprised if turned out that current CiC approval among troops had dropped to single digits.

Military tends to vote Republican anyways. She isn't losing any votes here. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...rans-are-more-republican-than-older-ones-why/

Recent veterans are more Republican than older ones.

Veterans in general were more likely to vote for John McCain and Mitt Romney, more likely to call themselves Republicans, more likely to hold conservative positions on the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” repeal, and more likely to dislike Obamacare. About half of non-veteran men voted for Obama, but only about 35 percent of male veterans voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012.
