NEW POLL - BiPartisan Support for Gun Control

http://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/2014/05/new-politico-poll-shows-bipartisan.html

A majority of likely voters in swing congressional districts and states this year support stricter background checks on gun purchasers, and the support spans both parties, a new POLITICO poll finds. 

Seventy-nine percent of those surveyed would support tougher measures while 21 percent are opposed. 

Ninety percent of Democrats support stricter checks —as do 71 percent of Republicans and 77 percent of independents, the survey found. Three-quarters of the overall survey respondents said the issue was “important” in evaluating candidates in the midterm elections, including 68 percent of Republicans, 87 percent of Democrats and 71 percent of independents.
