These charts reflect the results of the new Economist / YouGov Poll -- done between August 10th and 13th of a national sample of 1,500 adults (including 1,127 registered voters). The margin of error for adults is 2.6 points, and for registered voters is 3 points.
It shows that the American public is sick of mass shootings and gun deaths. They want Congress to act. They support closing the loopholes in the background check law by a 68 margin, making laws on handgun sales more strict by a 33 point margin, banning semi-automatic weapons by a 28 point margin, and banning ammunition clips holding more than 10 round by a 38 point margin.
Will the congressional Republicans stop blocking constitutional restrictions on guns. Probably not. But if they don't, they may pay a price for it in the next election.
