It is something like 78% of all military officers are registered republicans, (realists) and I doubt they would vote for Kerry. Military enlisted may be a different story, but I dont' think it would be WAY different from military officers.
As far as a CBS poll, well I live in Utica, NY (where Zogby polls are located). I know two people (I know them VERY well) that used to work at Zogby, and both admitted to fudging poll numbers. There is MINIMAL supervision there. As far as those polls being scientific I think thats a joke. I've seen some of the people that work there and they are some of the dumbest people on earth. They let ANYONE work there, and they pay next to nothing. Most are in what you would call the lower socio-economic class. We live in a depressed area economically (we lost over 20,000 people during the 90's, a lot of which was do to Clinton closing Griffis AFB) A class which tends to vote democrat so it wouldn't suprise me if numbers were fudged in favor of Kerry. I remember in 2002 Terry Mccoullogh (I think that is his name, the head of the Democratic party) going on NPR (for those that don't know it is liberal radio, yeah I love to hear them spin away because it strengthens my beliefs) and talking about how the democrats would be taking back the house and gaining seats in the senate (2002 elections) because the polls showed them winning big almost everywhere. What happened, the republicans gained seats in the house and took back the senate. Anyone remember that idiot James Carvall acting stupid after the dems. lost big that night (I do, haha). So much for polls.
