1,018 alleged military personnel polled out of how many total active-duty military? Isn’t it something between 1.25 and 1.5 million? (I’m reading a Wikipedia entry from 2016 for the numbers)
“1,018 alleged military personnel polled out of how many total active-duty military?”
They know how to screen who they sample, to get the results they want. Then they tighten the screens over time, to show supposed trends.
Gender, age, race, rank, hometown, Party registration, etc.
Doesn’t not seem a small sample compared to national polls, actually in comparison, seems a large sample.
I can't speak for enlisted, but no competent military officer would answer a poll about his political leanings. Period.
