It turns out military service members support John McCain by a 3 to 1 margin over Barack Obama. Military Times poll: Troops backing McCain: In a Military Times survey of nearly 4,300 readers, Sen.. John McCain, R-AZ, handily defeated Sen. Barack Obama, D-IL, 68% to 23% in a voluntary survey of 4,293 active-duty, National Guard and reserve subscribers and former subscribers to Army Times, Navy Times, Marine Corps Times and Air Force Times.“A lot of people thought that eight years of frustration with the Bush administration was going to undermine that,” he said. “This evidence suggests that it hasn’t undermined it as much as they thought, at least not yet.”We need to make sure that the votes of our military count. Absentee ballots from many veterans in the past were not counted or considered properly in various elections. Everyone help in your area. Also, if you are willing to get upset with Newsweek and to write to Newsweek. IAVA, a liberal veterans organization, collaborated with Newsweek to fabricate an article about John McCain's record regarding the troops and veterans in Newsweek. Funny that Newsweek and other media has not reports about the Military Times Poll. Look for them to try and discredit the results.
Officers and enlisted troops, active-duty members and reservists, those who have served in combat and those who haven’t, all backed McCain by large margins, to about the same extent they supported President Bush four years ago.
About 69 percent of respondents said they voted for Bush in 2004, while about 16 percent voted for the Democratic nominee, Sen. John Kerry. McCain’s majority wanes among women and disappears altogether among black respondents.
