Donald Trump is ahead of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton by 9 percentage points among veteran voters, according to a new national poll released Thursday.
The billionaire businessman drew 47 percent and Clinton garnered 38 percent of more than 1,600 respondents who had military experience or lived with someone who served, the May polling by the group Morning Consult found.

In other news, bears “do their business” in the woods.
Well, Hillary did kill three Veterans.
Ambassador Chris Stevens wasn’t a Veteran, or it would have been four.
Ya think?
I personally regard any veteran who backs that lying feloness to be a traitor worth only an extended middle finger.
WOW!!!!
This is despite all the B.S. trying to “prove” that Trump did not raise money for veterans!
REAL Vets know the truth—who’s on their side and who’s trying to scam them!!!!
THEY will show up, but will their ballots show up where they are supposed to go or will they show up 6 months after the inauguration?
Pee Wee Herman would beat Clinton among veterans.
Well there goes the Clintons, they said that Trump didn’t raise money for the Vets, yet they are behind Trump all the way...you don’t think the Clintons lied about all this do you? /s
And Obama just dissed VFW halls as being dens of ignorance - that’s gonna hopefully rub off on Hillary.
THAT'S why the numbers are even in the 38% range for Hillary.
Actual veterans, and even todays "PC" armed forces HATE democrats.
Because they know, no matter what that, liberal Presidents will always stab them in the back.
"People who lived with them"= women, generally, who trend strongly dem.
Honestly, I don't personally know one male veteran who is a liberal.
Do they exist? Sure.
John Kerry, Norman Lear for example.
But I don't know those guys.
They might be OK with some liberal positions, but a full-throated liberal? No.
How the hell did Clinton get 38%
Not very encouraging at all
“..or lived with those that served.” Talk about expanded criteria. They had to add non-veterans to get Hillary within 9 percentage points.
Yeah...I’m actually surprised it was that close....
That’s where it probably came from...You’re right...
Only 9%?
It’s the right direction, but surprisingly low, IMHO.
Was wondering why it was only 9 points.
Wow! This is just so “unexpected”!
It’s good news for Trump if that 38% for Clinton is accurate and it goes now higher for her with him carrying the rest. If he’s only 9 points up over Clinton in the end he will be greatly underperforming the percentage Republicans normally get.
Ah...didn’t catch that part. That would make a difference.
I seriously doubt those numbers. I’m wired into a lot of fellow veterans. We are 100 percent against. Something in the fine print will expose this fraudulent poll. Guaranteed.
