Zogby/O'Leary asked voters:
"Currently, 39 states have laws that allow residents to carry firearms to protect themselves, only if they pass a background check and pay a fee to cover administrative costs. Most of those states also require applicants to have firearms safety training. Do you support or oppose this law?"
An overwhelming majority of Americans (83 percent) support concealed-carry laws, while only 11 percent oppose them. A majority of Independent voters (86 percent), Democrats (80 percent), young voters age 18-29 (83 percent), Hispanic voters (80 percent), and those who voted for President Obama (80 percent) support the right to carry a firearm.
Some debate on the quality of the Zogby poll from a strong 2A supporter.
Much as I'd like to accept Zogby's numbers, I think that Volokh makes a very strong argument that the poll was fundamentally flawed. You'd think they wouldn't make such an obvious mistake.
Unless it was a push poll designed to get that kind of number.

Seriously, who is worse.... The retarded guy on the shortbus or the moron who hires him to balance his checkbook?
