Only 41% of americans support putting armed police in schools.

An even biggest blow against the NRA/hard right, only 27% support arming teachers.

While 53% support tougher gun laws

and lastly on a side note, the GOP house has caused congress to have the lowest approval ratings in US history at only 7%

"PPP surveys are conducted through automated telephone interviews"

So how many folks hung up on the automated telephone interviews? LOL. 1100 people who have the time to sit through some stupid automated poll to answer all the questions have an agenda to try and push IMO one way or the other.

Yeah, because PPP is SO unbiased: in its private client work, it conducts polls only for Democratic campaigns and progressive organizations.

PPP was the most accurate pollster in the 2012 elections, Most Accurate Polls Of 2012 Election - Business Insider

The right wing "blame the source" deflection was already attempted (and failed) on the first page

Sure we believe you when you can't even move inside a gun show or gun shop. PLEASE nobody fart........


As the spotlight turns to gun control following the Connecticut mass shooting, the focus is also on gun sales, which are at record levels.
ABC News reported that during the Black Friday sales last month, Americans bought a record number of guns, with the FBI conducting background checks on 154,000 purchases of firearms.
For the month of November, the number surged to 2 million inquiries.

The poll shows the majority of Americans have a reasonable approach to the gun problem. Sadly, the majority of Americans are being ignored in Congress as the ideological purists are being allowed to dominate the discussion.
