According to Jammie Wearing Fools, via Instapundit. I seem to recall the rate of Democratic gun ownership was 17% when polled, which makes you wonder if the 15 point drop is just coincidentally close. Polls now show that even liberal gun owners would defy draconian gun bans:
Breaking down the numbers by political affiliation also provided some interesting insight into the attitudes of Americans. In all, 70 percent of Republicans and 68 percent of self-identified conservatives would refuse to hand over their weapons. More surprisingly, perhaps, were the figures for those on the left: According to the survey, more than half of Democrats and almost 60 percent of self-styled liberals would defy any potential gun ban.
This was a toxic issue for the Democrats just a few months ago, and now they all think it’s a winner. Looking at the polling, it still looks pretty toxic to me.
“Polls now show that even liberal gun owners would defy draconian gun bans”, while still voting for the politicians who enact them.
Exactly!!!
That remains to be seen … except for the minor detail that it doesn’t sound like there’s much difference between the two parties in NY State. Then again, as I understand it no state is more welcoming of 3rd parties, and the old Upstate/Downstate balance was shattered when ACORN set up their own (people can run under the nominations of more than one party, so I assume most of them were/are also Democrats).
Well that’s not surprising. I mean, who likes being blamed for something they didn’t do?
