Obama approval continues downward trend with military

The Hill:

President Obama’s approval among active-duty service members has plummeted to just 15 percent, with a majority of those in the military — 55 percent — saying they disapprove of the president, according to a survey from the Military Times published Monday.

Obama has never been particularly popular with the military, which tends to be politically conservative — in 2009, the year after he was first elected, just 35 percent of those surveyed by the Military Times approved of him. Some 39 percent of respondents this year described themselves as Republicans or libertarians, while just 8 percent self-described as Democrats.

Obama's approval rating dropped 13 percentage points from last year, while the number of service members disapproving of his work as president spiked a similar amount.

The frustration appears at least in part due to the reductions in pay increases and benefits under sequestration, with Congress in 2014 approving the smallest pay raise since the military became all-volunteer.

While in 2009, 87 percent of service members rated their pay and allowance as good or excellent, today just 44 percent do so. The percentage who say their overall quality of life is “good or excellent” has fallen from 91 percent to 56 percent over that period, and seven in 10 believe their quality of life will decline in the coming years.

That is lower than his low standing with the rest of the population.   I suspect that it is more than just pay.  Troops don't feel supported and Obama has failed to build support for the wars he is asking them to fight.
