Gallup Poll: Proof Obama Is Lying When He Says 90% Of Americans Favor Gun Control. (Video)

    Obama keeps claiming 90% of The American support gun control, but that hasn’t been true since the first time he said it. Obama claimed that all he wanted was a vote. Well he got one. The American people DON’T want, and will not tolerate ANY infringement on their 2nd Amendment Rights. Show some respect for the system Mr. President, 

 Few Americans mention guns or immigration as the most important problems facing the nation today, despite the current attention lawmakers in Washington are giving to these issues. The economy still dominates as the top concern, followed by jobs and dissatisfaction with the general way in which Congress and the government work.

Guns Remains Low Priority for Americans

The 4% of Americans mentioning guns as the nation’s top problem is the same as it was last month, and comparable to the 6% in February and 4% in January and December, the last measure having been taken just after the mass shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. Prior to these past several months, in recent years virtually no Americans mentioned guns as the nation’s top problem. 

Americans have never been highly likely to mention guns or gun violence as the nation’s top problems, even in the aftermath of other tragic mass shootings. Ten percent of Americans said guns or gun violence were the nation’s top problems in May 1999, a month after the Columbine High School shootings in Colorado — and that was the highest percentage mentioning “guns” in Gallup’s history of asking the question.

This low top-of-mind mention of guns/gun violence as the nation’s top problem does not mean Americans are against new gun control legislation. Gallup surveys in fact show that a majority of Americans favor each of nine gun violence measures tested in January of this year, including an extraordinary 91% who favor a measure that would mandate criminal background checks for gun purchases.

Americans most frequently name the economy in general (24%), jobs/unemployment (18%), and the deficit (11%). The percentage mentioning each of these economic issues is in the same broad range as has been the case each month this year so far, although a higher 20% mentioned the deficit as the nation’s top problem in January.
