GOVX polled nearly 20,000 members with military, first responder, and government service backgrounds on the upcoming election, and Trump has almost 70% of the vote.
SAN DIEGO, Calif., June 26, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- GOVX, the online shopping platform exclusively for current and former military, first responders, emergency medical professionals, educators, and other government personnel, recently surveyed current GOVX members to gauge where Americans of service stand this election year.
Through THE 2024 GOVX PRESIDENTIAL PULSE CHECK, GOVX members were able to provide their responses to a short range of questions about the upcoming Presidential election, the political issues that are most important to them, and how they feel about the state of our country.
GOVX conducted the poll over a 30-day period extending from April 28th to May 28th, 2024, and collected 19,748 responses nationwide from those who have served our country and local communities. This included over 10,000 responses from Active Duty and Veteran U.S. military service personnel, nearly 5,000 responses from current and former Law Enforcement Officers and Firefighters, nearly 2,000 responses from current and former state/federal Government employees, over 1,200 responses from nurses and emergency medical professionals, and over 1,200 responses from current and former public school educators.
The full report can be found online here, and some of the key highlights from the findings are:
- 69% of all members polled plan to vote for Donald Trump, as opposed to just 20% for the incumbent, Joe Biden. 7% plan to vote for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., with the remainder writing in other choices.
- 57% of respondents identified as Republican, while Independent was the next highest answer (29%), followed by Democrat (12%).
