Majority of poll respondents say Florida students 'effective advocates for gun control'

Nearly half of respondents in a new poll believe the Florida students advocating publicly for gun control reform are “being manipulated by outside groups” – at least in part.

But in findings that underline the divisions over the issue, the poll showed that seven in 10 respondents said they had seen the students on television, and six in 10 thought they were “effective advocates for gun control”.

After they survived a shooting at their high school on 14 February, in which 17 people were killed, many teenagers from Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school in Parkland spoke in favor of stricter gun control laws and began to organize a march on Washington to demand action from Congress.
