Bummer: Gun Control Not What Young People Care About Anymore

Remember how this younger generation was going to go to the polls and vote to wipe out guns in America? Never mind

(Daily Caller) Six percent of Americans aged 15 to 34 consider gun control the top issue facing the country, according to a new Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and MTV poll reported on Wednesday.

That number is down from a high of 21 percent who considered it the top issue in March, according to the poll.

Four in 10 surveyed still gave the government an “F” grade on handling gun control issues.

These numbers come in as March For Our Lives organizers like David Hogg remain in the news, most recently for pressuring Publix to end contributions to Florida Republican gubernatorial candidate Adam Putnam over his support for the National Rifle Association.

The poll was taken between April 23 and May 9, and surveyed 939 youths, a rather long time to take a poll. Must not have been getting the results they wanted. Regardless, you have to wonder where that number has dipped to now. Of course, how would they make an informed decisions when 52% “say they rarely or never read or watch news about the midterm elections”?
