Obama's Job Approval Among Military Worse Than Among Civilians
Some ominous political news for President Obama the day after he chose Memorial Day to name a new chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff:With just 15 months until the 2012 presidential election, Obama's overall job approval among Americans has sunk back down into the 40s. But now a new poll of nearly a quarter-million Americans finds the commander-in-chief's job approval is even worse among members of the military, present and past. A new Gallup poll finds that slightly more than a third of those military members (37%) approve of their commander's overall job from January of last year through April 2011. This compares to Obama's 48% approval among nonmilitary Americans during the same period, Gallup reported.general martin Dempsey 5-11 The disapproval gap crosses all age groups. Men, especially veterans over 40, tend to disapprove of Obama more than women. This would seem to indicate failure of this president's major public relations effort to be seen supporting veterans' affairs. Posted by: Sherry 2011-06-01 |
