New Poll Shows That NRA is More Popular Than Hollywood
But most Americans still want stricter gun laws
NEW YORK, Jan. 18 (UPI) -- The National Rifle Association is more popular than Hollywood, but most Americans want stricter gun-control laws, an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows.
The powerful lobby for gun makers and gun owners has a 41 percent positive approval rating, while Hollywood and the entertainment industry have a 23 percent favorable rating, the poll found.
The NRA and other critics have blamed the entertainment and video-game industries for contributing to an American culture of violence.
