| 98 percent of Republican military veterans approve of Trump: Poll |
| 2017-05-31 |
| [Wash Times] President Trump has some unwavering support from a very unique demographic: Republican military veterans. An extensive new Pew Research Center reveals that 98 percent of these GOP vets approve of the job Mr. Trump is doing. He has some fans across the greater population of vets as well. The poll also found that 54 percent of them also approve of the president. Another 47 percent of independent vets and 10 percent of Democratic vets approve of the president. "U.S. veterans, who broadly supported Donald Trump in the 2016 election, have remained positive about the job he is doing as president," wrote Shiva Maniam, and analyst for the pollster. "In April, 54 percent of those who have served in the military approved of his job performance. Trump’s job approval among the overall public was just 39%, according to the same survey, which was conducted using Pew Research Center’s American Trends Panel," Mr. Maniam said. "Last fall, Trump held a wide 60 percent -- 34 percent advantage over Hillary Clinton among veterans, according to the national exit poll conducted by Edison Research for the National Election Pool," he added. |

| #3 Another poll they'll not pay attention to on their way through Bleeding Kansas on to the Civil War. |

| #2 "In April, 54 percent of those who have served in the military approved of his job performance. Another Poll that over represents the Democratic numbers and then tries to read an augury from the resulting entrails? |

| #1 This is the sort of demographic on which one could build a solid constituency. And if Trump has a constituency, he can use it to drive better results in Congressional races (and I'm not talking about beating Democrats). |
