There's significant movement among Democrats and independents; less among Republicans.

Among Democrats, support for impeachment has gone from 72%->80% post Ukraine.

Among indies, it's gone from 34%->42%

Among Republicans, it's gone from 10%->12%.

Americans support gun safety but Republicans will block bills

The NRA-supported Republican party won’t allow the passage of meaningful gun safety laws. It’s so frustrating that there’s about 90% support for universal background checks but McConnell won’t even allow a hearing on the issue. Mass shootings don’t matter – Republicans will just offer thoughts and prayers. Sad!

Why don’t these numbers move the political dial?

New Quinnipiac poll:

93 – 6% support for universal background checks
82 – 16% support for requiring a license to purchase a gun
80 – 15% support for a “red flag” law
60 – 36% support for a ban on assault weapons
