Concerned Veterans For America; poll and livestream

The folks at Concerned Veterans For America commissioned a poll a few weeks ago in regards to how veterans view the current government I don’t think the results will surprise any of the regular readers here;

Sixty-eight percent of veterans believe the country is off on the wrong track (vs. 21% say right direction), and by a margin of more than two to one, veterans disapprove of the way President Obama is handling his job (66% disapprove vs. 29% approve).

Veterans also hold negative views toward President Obama’s healthcare law. Over six in 10 (63%) of veterans disapprove of Obamacare (vs. 28% approve), and nearly half (46%) believe Obamacare will be worse than VA healthcare.

All surveyed—veterans and members of the military— believe the top issues facing Congress are dysfunction in Washington (23%), followed by government spending and debt (19%) and economy/jobs (17%).

I’m only surprised that the numbers were so low. They must have called the VoteVets and IAVA membership lists by mistake. In other CVA news, they are livestreaming a discussion today (beginning at 11:30 am) in conjustion with the Weekly Standard in regards to reforming the VA. If you’re interested, I’ve embedded the player below, or you can go to the CVA website.
