Again, your info is outdated.
Exit polling in 2020? Really????
The Military Times in November 2020 cited exit and mail in ballot polling from Edison Research that showed 52 percent of military and veteran voters preferred President Donald Trump to Biden, who 45 percent preferred. This number matched the Times own polling in October, 2020. The margin is much narrower than in 2016, when Trump enjoyed a 26-percent advantage, pulling in 60 percent to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s 34 percent.
Election analysts warned about putting too much stock in exit polling in 2020, but the Edison Research data is more reliable than most, as it surveyed both in-person and mail-in ballot voters (which some other pollsters failed to do).
The data was also consistent with other surveys of military and veteran voters, which showed Trump continually losing popularity among this group as he ignored reports of Russian bounties on American soldiers in Afghanistan, continued to fire defense officials at will, and reportedly called veterans who died “suckers and losers.” This falling support also came after years of Trump denigrating Gold Star families like that of Khizr Khan’s and constantly attacking POW hero, the late Sen. John McCain, a Republican from Arizona.
Biden, having a son who served in Iraq, and had a history on issues concerning soldiers, taking prescedent over hardware spending, showed him in a better light.
I say where I got my info, you do not.
