A new poll from Suffolk University and USA Today finds the majority of Americans do not want to debate gun control in the 2016 presidential election. According to the poll of 1,000 adults, 52 percent say they would not like gun control to be a “significant subject” during the election, with 43 percent saying they would.
“There is more desire to tighten than to loosen [gun laws],” said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center in Boston, in a statement accompanying the release of the poll.
