The charts above are from the Washington Post / ABC News Poll -- done between September 2nd and 5th of a national sample of 1,003 adults, with a 3.5 point margin of error.
It shows substantial majorities of Americans support new gun restrictions -- and they trust the Democrats in Congress more than Donald Trump to accomplish that -- by a 15 point margin.
89% want a background check for all gun buyers, 86% support red flag law (allowing authorities to take guns away from dangerous people), 60% support a ban on ammunition clips holding more than 10 rounds, 56% support a ban on assault-style weapons, and 52% support a mandatory buy back program for those assault weapons.
It is unlikely that the Republicans in Congress will allow any of those things to happen, but it could become an election issue if they don't.
