Hillary Clinton Has Few Fans in the Military

[Purveyor]

Monday, November 16, 2015

Hillary Clinton is still in line to win the Democratic Party's nomination to be the next commander in chief, but few Americans in the military have a good impression of her.

A new RallyPoint/Rasmussen Reports national survey of active and retired military personnel finds that only 15% have a favorable opinion of Clinton, with just three percent (3%) who view the former secretary of State Very Favorably. Clinton is seen unfavorably by 81%, including 69% who share a Very Unfavorable impression of her. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

That compares to the 47% of all Likely Voters who viewed Clinton favorably back in April. Just as many (47%) viewed her unfavorably.

Twenty-seven percent (27%) of military women share a favorable opinion of Clinton, compared to 12% of men.

Rasmussen Reports will release new numbers tomorrow on the Democratic presidential race to see if Saturday night's debate made any difference. Seventy-eight percent (78%) of Democratic voters think Clinton is likely to be their nominee, with 50% who say it's Very Likely.

The survey of 1,473 Military Adults was conducted from October 25 through November 2, 2015 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

7. No.

Military members of both genders really don't like potential commanders in chief who lie about being under sniper fire in Bosnia and who lie about attempting to join the Marines.

If it was a man, these acts of stolen valor would have her disqualified completely for the position of president. Quite simple really.

5. So?

Democrats are not particularly popular with the military. Although, she got along quite well with the military brass during her Senate years.

6. That poll is not scientific.
