That’s closer than it should be.

So lets see.. John McCain... A Veteran of the Navy in Vietnam and former Prisoner of War. Also seasoned Senator for years despite his gaffs against conservatism.

or Barak Obama, a 143 day Senator who can not stand any critical talk towards him or his family or his personal views.

Hmmm.. yeah.. this vet would pick McCain despite my reservations

The scary part: 37% of military veterans are voting for Obama.

[Always Right]

This can’t be true. The media can only seem to find military people who support Obama.

[John D]

I thought Ron Paul said they all supported him.

The racial numbers for this survey would tell the real story.

[unkus]

I’d like to see a poll on Combat Vets vs REMF’s.

I bet the margin is even higher than Ras’s numbers.

[McGruff]

This data, from a Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey, is based upon interviews with 3,000 Likely Voters, including 588 voters who have served in the military

And did anyone verify their claims of military service?

Also how many of these 588 were Vietnam era draftees. There were a lot of blacks minorities in my company.

This business about self reporting who is and who is not a veteran reminds me of a poll I saw after the last election. While the actual election drew an acceptable 60% of registered voters, those who REPORTED have voted came to 87%!!!!! So on this poll I call bull shiite, big time! Apparently more men are embarrassed about NOT having served ( because of 911 - ask the ones you know and they will admit that ) than we thought. The estimates I've seen are that there are about 21 million veterans. If McCain is getting 56% of them that is a major benefit. Look we aren't going to win 100 to zero. barack mcgovern WILL get at least 45 million morons to vote for him. Hey mondull and the original mcgovern got enough votes to win every other election but two and both of them got their asses handed to them.

[popdonnelly]

They must have polled the Vietnam Veterans Against the War.

[onedoug]

I understand McCain/Obama are speaking jointly at Rick Warren's Saddleback Church.

Warren is a Traitor by The Constitution who went to Syria while that country was and is engaged in killing and maiming American Forces in Iraq.

McCain should know better, having had to endure the likes of Jane Fonda taking aim at American planes over Hanoi. Either that or he obviously doesn't care.

Damn them both for the Senators they are.

Pthuh!

I wonder what the demographics of the veterans in the study are. I would venture that the disparity between white and black veterans supporting Obama is significant.
