A recent poll showing President Trump's support is slipping within active servicemen and women should be a cause of concern for the Republican Party, according to the United States Studies Centre's James Brown. A poll in the Military Times found a significant decline in the president's approval rating among active duty troops.
Among the 1,018 troops surveyed for the poll, 41 percent said they would vote for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden while 37 percent said they plan to vote to re-elect Donald Trump. Mr Brown told Sky News Trump "has been losing the military vote for some time." It's very symbolic that a major trusted institution in the military is starting to turn away from President Trump," he said.

Democrats still don't understand why people support Donald Trump | Sky News AustraliaHillary Clinton destroyed her dream of inheriting the presidential throne when she slandered half of all conservatives as a “basket of deplorables” in the heat of the 2016 race.\n\nClinton still to this day has been incapable of understanding how damaging the gaffe was to her pursuit of dynastic power.\n\nHer only fault – as she puts it in her memoir What Happened – was trying to solve too many problems.\n\n“That was my problem with many voters: I skipped the venting and went straight to the solving,” she wrote.\n\nThe disconnect between smugly over-educated progressive elites and the downright deplorable working class has not faded in the last four years.\n\nIn fact, the divide has widened, and America is perhaps more polarised than at any point in history.\n\nThe New York Times finds itself as both the primary perpetrator of class and racial warfare while writing op-eds questioning how anyone could ever vote for President Trump.\n\nIn essence, the Times creates a political chasm between American voters and then ponders why no one attempts to jump the gap.\n\nChief White House Correspondent Peter Baker wrote this week that President Trump was the defender of “white Americans”.\n\n“The president himself has increasingly made appeals to the grievances of white supporters a centerpiece of his campaign to win a second term,” he wrote.\n\n“The message appears designed to galvanize supporters who have cheered what they see as a defiant stand against political correctness since the days when he kicked off his last presidential campaign in 2015 by denouncing, without evidence, Mexicans crossing the border as ‘rapists’.\n\n“Public views of Mr. Trump flow through a racial prism.”\n\nTimes opinion columnist Thomas L. Friedman then served as being potentially the only progressive journalist to begin to analyse support for the president as an intellectual.\n\n“Humiliation, in my view, is the most underestimated force in politics and international relations,” wrote.\n\n“The pove

COVID-19 vaccine would be a 'gamechanger' for Trump | Sky News AustraliaUnited States Studies Centre CEO Simon Jackman says the development and distribution of a coronavirus vaccine before the November election would be a “gamechanger” for President Trump.\n\n“If there were a vaccine rolled out and it was efficacious and it was widely distributed and really knocked this thing on its head before election day, that would be nothing short of a political triumph,” he told Sky News.\n\nThe President faces a political deficit on the pandemic with COVID-19 the “single biggest factor” where Donald Trump has a negative rating relative to Democratic nominee Joe Biden.\n\nMr Jackman also highlighted the widely publicised news story reporting Donald Trump made disparaging remarks about America’s fallen soldiers. \n\n“The idea that the commander in chief was reported to be talking that way about people who serve, people who have died for their country, that is a massive political dagger,” he said.\n\nAccording to Mr Jackman the significance of this news story was it “put Trump on the defensive” and resulted in a situation where he was not in control of the agenda for a good two or three news cycles over the Labor Day weekend.\n\nImage: AP
