It's the older folks in the military that trend Republican so strongly. Lots of kids come in as Democrats, but fewer leave that way.

Between March ...<i>"How the survey was conducted<br /><br />Between March 9 and March 14, Military Times conducted a voluntary, confidential survey of subscribers who include verified active-duty, National Guard and reserve component service members. More than 59,000 subscribers received e-mail invitations to participate. In total, 931 respondents completed the survey.<br /><br />The sample is not a perfect representation of the military as a whole; it over-represents Army personnel, officers and noncommissioned officers, and under-represents junior enlisted personnel. However, it is representative of the more senior and career-oriented members of the force who run the military's day-to-day operations and carry out its policies.<br /><br />The voluntary nature of this survey, the dependence on e-mail and the characteristics of Military Times readers may affect the results. Statistical margins of error commonly reported in opinion polls that use random sampling can't be calculated for this survey."</i><br /><br />Not sure how much credence you can put into a survey like this. They tend to overweight candidates with highly enthusiastic followers (Bernie, Trump), so it could be off by quite a bit. I think the only reliable takeaway is 'not Hillary'.douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03241790925053112959noreply@blogger.com
