CNN Breaking News: American public broadly supportive of Pres Obama Executive Gun Action, CNN/ORC Poll finds
According to the poll, 67% of respondents say they favor the changes Obama announced on Tuesday, and 32% oppose them.
The executive actions aim to increase the reach of federal background checks for gun purchases and improve enforcement of existing laws.
However, less than half say that these changes will be effective at reducing gun-related deaths, and most say they oppose the way Obama made these changes.
Obama will discuss the issue during a town hall event with CNN's Anderson Cooper at 8 p.m. ET tonight.
