Poll: NRA more popular than Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton
FoxNews/Gallup ^ | October 22, 2015 | Unattributed

A new poll shows The National Rifle Association is more popular than the Democratic party's two most prominent members, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

According to the Gallup Poll, 58 percent of Americans surveyed said they have a favorable view of the gun rights group, while 35 percent said they have an unfavorable view.

“In a year plagued with mass shootings, including a recent tragedy at a community college in Oregon, there has been a national debate as to whether the NRA, with its ardent support for gun rights, is somehow complicit in these shootings,” Gallup points out.

“Gallup's survey shows that, even after shootings nationwide, Americans overall still have a favorable opinion of the NRA, as they typically have, suggesting that the public may not be specifically blaming the organization for the crimes of those who commit mass shootings.”

Compare this to recent approval ratings for the president and former secretary of state, who is running for the Democratic nomination for president, and recently announced that she would support tougher gun laws once in office.

According to a Gallup Poll between Oct.19-21, just under 50 percent approve of Obama’s job performance, while 45 percent disapprove. Meanwhile, in a NBC/Wall Street Journal survey of Americans taken Oct. 15-18, 39 percent of those surveyed had a favorable view of Clinton, compared to 48 percent with an unfavorable view.

In a sane intelligent world, damn near anything would be more popular than those two. We have a very serious idiot crisis in our country.

For those that whine about Hillary being a shoe in “becuzz of da maynstreet media” here's a small example of why I don't fear the MSM. The NRA has been demonized by the MSM for as long as I can remember and yet, the public doesn't buy their spin

The issue will be the number of fraudulent votes for Hillary and the suppression of the count for the Republican.
