Here are more recent numbers: A series of polls by the Pew Research Center for the Public and the Press showed that Bush leads Kerry among men with military experience, 49 percent to 40 percent. Other polls gave Bush an even larger advantage. A Battleground Poll conducted in late June by Democratic pollster Celinda Lake and Republican surveyor Ed Goeas showed that likely voters among active military and reserve personnel and veterans favored Bush over Kerry, 52 percent to 44. However, Lake said there was some anecdotal evidence Kerry does better among military wives. Last September, a Battleground Poll showed Bush's approval rating among military family members at only 36 percent. Peter Feaver, a professor at Duke, said Kerry is making inroads among the families of military personnel, particularly the kin of Guard and Reserve members deployed to Iraq. signonsandiego.com Obviously, military family members and active military personnel are not the same thing. I took a quick look at the Battleground Poll web site to see if there were any updated breakouts on military families' political leanings but didn't see anything.
