WASHINGTON – American voters like the students leading gun violence protests while the NRA gets negative marks, according to a new national poll.

The high school students receive a positive 56/34 favorability rating for their efforts, while the NRA is upside down with 39% of voters seeing it favorably and 44% negatively, according to Public Policy Polling, which surveyed 846 registered voters from March 23-25th.

From the polling memo:

There's 87% support for background checks for all gun buyers, compared to only 8% of voters who are opposed to that. That policy has the backing of 89% of Democrats and 85% of Republicans and independents. It's hard to find anything 87% of Americans agree on- in fact on this same poll we found that only 81% think the sky is blue with 11% disputing that notion.

We also found 64/26 support for a ban on assault weapons, again with bipartisan agreement. Democrats (78/15), independents (61/25), and Republicans (49/40) are all in agreement. In general 60% of voters say they want stronger gun laws to 32% who are opposed.

One new gun proposal voters don't like though is giving them to teachers. Only 35% of voters think that's a good idea, to 53% who say it's a bad one.
