Obama's Popularity Plummets To All-Time New Low Among Active-Duty Military Troops For Forcing 'Profound Change,' New Poll Shows -- HNGN

President Barack Obama's approval ratings and popularity among active-duty U.S. military personnel have taken a sharp downward turn, with the commander-in-chief's numbers plummeting to a new all-time low, according to a new poll.

The president's popularity rating has cratered to just 15 percent of active-duty service members in 2014, with about 55 percent claiming they disapprove of Obama's job as commander-in-chief, according to an annual Military Times survey.

Although Obama has struggled to gain the approval of troops throughout his time in office, these numbers reflect a new low for the president, who finished his first year in office with a 35-percent approval figure and only 40 percent disapproving in 2009, according to the Military Times survey of more than 2,300 active-duty service members.
