Do you favor universal background checks?

[BigRedChief]

Ninety-two percent of Americans favor background checks for all potential gun buyers, according to a new CBS News/New York Times poll.

Universal background checks are one of the proposals that President Obama has called on Congress to pass as part of his proposal to combat gun violence in the wake of the massacre in a Newtown, Conn., elementary school in December.

Licensed gun dealers already must run background checks, but unlicensed dealers and private sellers, many of whom sell guns at gun shows or over the internet, are not required to do so.

Support for universal background checks went across party lines:
89 percent of Republicans
93 percent of Democrats and Independents were in favor
93 percent of gun households
85 percent of those living in a household with a member of the National Rifle Association

Watching the Sunday talk shows it looks like that background checks is about the only thing that can pass this year.

You could put a pineapple in a suit and, as long as it was wearing a giant "R" or a "D" on it somewhere, it would immediately get 40%+ of the popular vote.
