(Fox News) - A new poll by the Military Times indicates President-elect Obama has some work to do in gaining the confidence of those in uniform. Six of every 10 active-duty service members surveyed said they were either uncertain or pessimistic about the incoming president. Just 33 percent were optimistic.

One lance corporal, who refused to give his name, said, "Being that the Marine Corps can be sent anywhere in the world with the snap of his fingers, nobody has confidence in this guy as commander in chief."

President Bush — who sent the military into harm's way in both Iraq and Afghanistan — enjoys much better support. About half said the president has the military's best interests at heart. But that is down from 2004, when that number was 69 percent.
