According to newly released poll from Gallup, Romney has a large lead when it comes to veterans, cow-milking gaffes aside. This is not super surprising, as the group tends to lean conservative, but the numbers are pretty stark: 60 percent of them support Romney for president. Analysts note that 24 percent of adult American men are veterans, and their preference for the Republican candidate accounts for his current lead among men generally.
