If you click on the link in the OP, the article points to a continuous slide in active-duty support over the last two years. If the trend in the graph continues (at the same rate), then trump will be underwater before the/his next election, which will be HUGE ...



The graph with an unnecessarily truncated y-axis and meaningless decimal points does not help your case. Why are you posting it?

Even this dfference is on the edge of significance at best, and the article repeatedly points to meaningless differences as if their direction were important. Not much to be proud about in this observation, I'm afraid.

Look, MAYBE tbe tbread could be better titled "Disapproval of Trump growing in military", but you are being pedantic in claiming a story showing Trump's support among the military dropping from plus 9 to Eve, as somehow misleading.

The entire story is a classic example of lazy and statistically illiterate reporting on public polling. Almost every detail abour it gets something wrong. It's not strong evidence, and it doesn't justify the grand narrative presented here.

It is a statistical change well I side m o e, and likely outside of random noise. You're really taking this too seriously
