A Washington Post Poll

Earlier this year a jury for the first time decided that gun manufacturers should be held financially responsible for shooting deaths and other illegal uses of their weapons. Do you approve or disapprove of this decision?

The nation:
Approve: 25%
Disapprove: 70%
Don't Know: 5%

Regional breakdown:

Approve Disapprove Don't know

Northeast 44% 53% 3%
North central 24 72 4
South 19 75 6
West 24 74 2

NOTE: This Washington Post poll is based on telephone interviews with 504 randomly selected adults nationwide conducted July 14-18. The margin of error for overall results is plus or minus 4 percentage points. Sampling error is only one of many potential sources of error in this or any other public opinion poll. Interviewing was conducted by ICR of Media, Pa.
 
The figures for the northeast really bother me. Must have called people in NYC.

Damn!...I need more practice!
 
Polls are nonsense... I dont pay attention to them. They can be spun and twisted in ANY direction they want it.
