WASHINGTON (AP) -- When asked whom they would trust as commander in chief, people in military service and their families chose President Bush over Sen. John Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran, by almost a 3-to-1 margin.

Bush, who served in the Texas Air National Guard, was more trusted by 69 percent while 24 percent said they trusted Kerry more, according to the National Annenberg Election Survey released Friday.

Among all Americans, Bush has a narrower advantage on trust to be commander in chief, 50-41.

The military sample was far more likely to be Republican than Democratic, which could help explain the more favorable view of the president. Four in 10, 43 percent, of the military sample said they were Republicans, while 19 percent said Democrats and 27 percent independents.

Those in the military and their families have a more favorable view of Bush than Americans generally, and they take a more optimistic view about Iraq, the economy and the nation's direction.

A majority in the military sample, 64 percent, said the country is on the right track. Among Americans generally, 55 percent said the country is headed in the wrong direction.

The National Annenberg Election Survey found that seven in 10, 69 percent, had a favorable view of Bush. Only three in 10, 29 percent, had a favorable view of Kerry.

The Annenberg poll, which does not report head-to-head preferences, did not ask the military respondents whom they support for president. The report cited a 1948 law that prohibits polling members of the military about their voting intent.

The poll of 655 in the active military and their families was taken Sept. 22-Oct. 5 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points. Their answers were compared to those of 2,436 adults surveyed between Sept. 7-Oct. 3 with a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.

Oh come on. I saw Micheal Moore's film, no one in the military supports shrub....

[AlexPKeaton04]

I noticed the DUmmies didn't even post this article. LOL. They also tried to debunk the Zogby poll showing Bush ahead. What hipocrits, they worship Zogby and now they are bashing him.

[sgtbono2002]

Why would anyone in the military trust Kerry after he turned on his fellow soldiers and called them Murderers?

Trust John Kerry, I wouldnt trust him as far as I could throw Hillarys Cankles.

[Mikey_1962]

I don't believe this story because I don't believe they could find even ONE man to back Kerry in the military.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

Bill Schneider was spinning this on CNN.
He wrinkled his nose and huffed that those in the military are primarily Republicans anyway, so the poll was meaningless.
Schneider had such disdain in his voice, it was as if he was describing hairy backed neanderthals who hadn't yet discovered fire.

[pollywog]

This fact ALONE , should give every TRUE American cause to vote for Bush. If Kerry becomes President, the morale of our sevicemen will be in great JEOPARDY!!!........can someone say civil uprising????

[Allosaurs_r_us]

My question is, what are the 24% thinking. All I can say is they must not of heard of the Swiftees.

[Veteran 4W]

Soldiers support President Bush by a wide margin!

To know the military you need to have been in the military and know people currently in the military. Not just see a fictional movie like Rambo or Fahrenheit 9/11.

My point of reference is that I am a veteran of the US Army from both active and reserve service with many enlisted and commissioned friends currently serving.

The vast majority respect and appreciate President Bush, as do I. Most of these folks that are serving are from Special Forces, 82nd Airborne Div. and National Guard MP Units.

Hell I thought it would be better than that

Kerry supporters must be those that joined for the college bennies and didn't expect to have to do any real soldering

[Graymatter]

Nothing about this on tv! But CNN just mentioned that Kerry is up in PA, FL, and OH, yes, they found polls showing Kerry ahead and Bill Schneider is assuring us that undecideds will break for the challenger, too.

[WOSG]

CNN is covering Kerry's butt if and when the Dems need to pull some voter fraud to get over the top.

[Graymatter]

Oops. CNN just did report it. Military poll...I didn't see the numbers right, but it looked like B69 K24.

[45semi]

This pic is less than a week old, and the poll is contributed to pretty much daily,
even tho the poll was started this summer.

[chudogg]

Wow CNN reports it? Still, it will basically be brushed aside and ingored. If Kerry had an even 5 point lead among the military the press would report it as being on the brink of Mutiny!

[freeangel]

When is this going to make the MSN? It would certainly show that they don't much think of "j.effin reporting for duty" or having to report to him for duty.

Fraternal Order of Police : Kerry, Stop Misrepresenting Our Support!

"...F.O.P. members as a whole decided that the Fraternal Order of Police would endorse the reelection of President George W. Bush. They based their decision, he said, on the record of the Bush Administration in supporting America's first responders-including helping to secure passage earlier this year of H.R. 218, the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act, the organization's top legislative priority. Bush also successfully fought to greatly enhance the benefits for the families of
officers killed in the line of duty..."

"First I picked Edwards BUT now I pick Hanoi Jane!"

Edwards played football in 1971 when he turned 18
instead of serving in Vietnam.
Hanoi Jane at least was a Viet Cong!
Just like me!

Hanoi Jane and I know how to demoralize US Troops serving today!

We hate US Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We hate all US Troops!

We lie about them in 2004 the same as we did in the 60's and 70's!

We vow to insult and undermine Iraq Prime Minister Ayad Allawi

We vow to protect the UN and the Oil for Food Scandal

We vow to keep secret the ties between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaida

We vow to free Saddam Hussein with help from our old friend Ramsey Clark.
