Right. Military "families" and veterans, esp older vets, favor Trump. But the only polls I've seen, as well from what I hear anecdotally (for what little its worth) is that Trump is not favored by active duty people. the McCain "thing" and his trashing of the former military folks who left his adminLet the Trump cult tears flow even harder ...
---US troops favor Biden for president, but Trump has a big lead among veterans, polls show
Trump has repeatedly boasted about all that he has done for the US military, but that message isn't resonating with the active-duty force he leads.www.businessinsider.com
Active-duty military personnel prefer Democratic nominee Joe Biden for president, but incumbent President Donald Trump has the edge with veterans, Military Times polls show.
A survey of 1,018 active-duty troops conducted by Military Times in partnership with the Institute for Veterans and Military Families at Syracuse University between July 27 and August 10 found that 43.1% of respondents said they were voting for Biden while only 37.4% said they were voting for Trump.

You cited the July poll, I think. And there's this
Poll: The U.S. Military Has An Increasingly Unfavorable View Of Trump [Infographic]
The results of a recent Military Times poll are bad news for President Trump ahead of the election in November.www.forbes.com
And just as I predicted. Ask, and ye shall receive an endless bounty of links to "Military Times" polls.
Not that this will actually get through to any of the Dems on here considering they've ignored it the last 100 times it's been explained, but those Military Times "polls" are as scientific as online Heisman fan voting on the ESPN website. The "poll" consists exclusively of online votes of "approve" or "disapprove" by people who log on and participate voluntarily, AND participation is not limited to active and former U.S. service members; it is open to numerous categories of non-military participants. Hence, like all voluntary online "choice" polls, it draws people who have an axe to grind on the question presented (like the silly polls on this forum).
In sum, despite what it claims to be, the Military Times polls do not in any way represent an accurate snapshot of the President's approval among active and former military service members. As the adage goes, garbage in, garbage out.
