Donald Trump has a 19-point lead over Hillary Clinton among military and veteran voters, according to polling released Wednesday.
Mr. Trump had a 19-point, 55 percent to 36 percent lead over Mrs. Clinton in the NBC News/SurveyMonkey online poll.
Fifty-three percent of military and veteran voters said they feel comfortable in Mr. Trump’s ability to be an effective commander-in-chief of the country’s military, compared to 35 percent for Mrs. Clinton.
Mr. Trump also had a 53 percent to 28 percent edge among military and veteran voters when it came to veterans issues.
Mrs. Clinton had a slight edge among military and veteran voters on who they trust more to make the right decisions on nuclear weapons. A new ad released this week by a pro-Clinton group strongly implied that Mr. Trump could trigger a nuclear war if elected president.
In 2012, GOP nominee Mitt Romney won the veterans vote by 20 points, according to an American National Election Studies post-election survey.
