Only 37 percent gave her a thumbs-up, giving her the poorest overall rating.

The Gallup survey suggested that a gender gap hurts Clinton, the only woman in the race.

I was appalled that 37% of vets could give her a thumbs-up given that the military usually votes our way 80%. Then I saw the gender gap BS (per the survey 9 of 10 vets were male) and I think the gender gap is the only reason she could score above 20% with actual vets.

I think we all know women who are otherwise not demented or stupid who unthinkingly support other women in political matters just because they ARE women and I've known a few men who do that too.

I forgot many vets are women and HRC may have a following there just out of pride of gender. I also county active duty as vets, and we all know dems try to make their votes not count.

Maybe a few women would feel that a woman president would somehow ‘help them,’ but I can tell you most women hate other women.

I know I do!

No, they don't. The general military percentage is somewhere between 60% and 70%. Only in the Officer corps is support for Republicans higher than 80%.
