  • Independents least likely to express confidence this year

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Americans are now less likely to express “a great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in the U.S. military, with a noticeable decline that has persisted for the past five years. The latest numbers are from a June 1-22 Gallup poll that also captured record lows in public confidence in several public institutions.

        You’re focused on young progressives for some reason. I’m talking about the Fox viewers. The Fox viewers are the ones that have had “wokeism is destroying our military” being yelled at them since Biden took office.
