Just 32 percent of military veterans who served
in Iraq
or Afghanistan
approve of the job Barack Obama is doing as president, according to a new poll from
the Washington Post and the Kaiser Family Foundation. In a related question, only
42 percent of those surveyed said they believe Obama is a “good
commander-in-chief of the military.” Forty eight percent said he is not.
Veterans were asked a similar question about
former President George W. Bush. Sixty-five percent said they felt he was a
good commander-in-chief, while 28 percent responded he was not.
The expansive collection of post-war polling
asked current and former service members for their opinions on a series of
political issues, as well as personal and cultural ones. Forty-seven percent
consider themselves independents; 27 percent identified as Republicans, and
just 17 percent said they were Democrats.
