November 11, 2005--On Veterans Day 2005, 78% of Americans have a favorable opinion of the United States Military forces. A Rasmussen Reports survey found that just 10% have an unfavorable opinion.

Forty-eight percent (48%) of Americans consider Veterans Day one of the nation's most important holidays. Six percent (6%) say it is one of the least important while 43% place it somewhere in between.

Thirty-nine percent (39%) will do something special to commemorate Veterans Day this year. Fifty-three percent (53%) will not.

Among Veterans, 64% consider this day one of the nation's most important holidays and 61% will do something special to commemorate it.

Among those with relatives and close friends serving in Iraq, 51% will do something special to commemorate the holiday.

While President Bush has tumbled in the polls, he still retains support among America's military veterans. Sixty-percent (60%) of Veterans approve of the way the President is performing his job, including 30% who Strongly Approve.

Rasmussen Reports is an electronic publishing firm specializing in the collection, publication, and distribution of public opinion polling information.

Rasmussen Reports was the nation's most accurate polling firm during the Presidential election and the only one to project both Bush and Kerry's vote total within half a percentage point of the actual outcome.

During Election 2004, RasmussenReports.com was also the top-ranked public opinion research site on the web. We had twice as many visitors as our nearest competitor and nearly as many as all competitors combined.

Scott Rasmussen, president of Rasmussen Reports, has been an independent pollster for more than a decade.

22% is doggone nearly a quarter that are too stupid to know or blantantly hate the troops. That is a scary number to have 1/4 of our society in that God forsaken place.

Once you consider that 51% actually VOTED for E'ffn, nothing else is really scary.

Have you heard today's news? Walmart will no longer allow its employees to say Merry Christmas......

I have a suggestion to all Walmart customers....

At the checkout say, Merry Christmas....if you get the "Happy Holidays" response...demand a refund....on the spot...

How exactly can you be undecided on whether you support your own country's military?

I had to factor in the " I support the troops but not the war" crowd...so I added 3%.

I would guess that 10% are mostly urban liberals.
