Done. About 50/50 right now.

So much for the oft cited "90% of Americans want additional background checks to close the loophole".

Somehow that figure only comes from gun control advocates. I guess they do their own poll with questions like "experts say additional background checks would stop mass murders, are you against mass murders?"

It's all in the wording.

 

[AR-15Nutt]

NO!!

 

[jrdolall]

51/46 good guys right now.

 

[W L Johnson]

And if it doesn't go the way they want it to they'll probably claim we didn't understand the question and/or the issues involved. Actually have seen them say that on at least one other poll that didn't go their way.

 

[PapaG]

I thought I heard BHO say that a "majority" of Americans, and a majority of gun owners supported his stuff.

 

[Elkins45]

52% NO now

I tried several times, from here and going through Yahoo, but only got a grey screen that said "poll of the day" at the top, and a smaller,blank/white screen near the bottom, but nothing ever materialized. I even went to CNN's main site, and couldn't find it there,either.

If this doesn't end up in a "yes" vote there is no way that CNN will air it! Haha!

 

[AnselHazen]

Looks like the poll has changed?

Now it asks are tightening gun sale requirements too tough a change.

Yes on that winning at some 70% when I saw it.

71.5% to 28.5%, 4235 total votes so far.

I just voted three times

Which is why it says: "Not a scientific survey"

Wait, you can vote multiple times and the Libs are still losing this poll?

Something's amiss.

[Crisisbill]

They changed the wording of the poll, smoke and mirrors till they get the result they want.

 

[Apachedriver]

Maybe they did? Or maybe it's a new poll of the day for today.

Those pollsters will change the wording of a question until they get the answer that agrees with their stance on guns or any other subject.

 

[OilyPablo]

The latest question is CNN squishy.
