Below are the results of the latest unscientific poll from the Black Bear Blog.
Of the following candidates still remaining in the presidential primary, which one best supports our Second Amendment right?
* Hillary Clinton: 7% (25)
* Barack Obama: 8% (31)
* Mike Huckabee: 26% (98)
* John McCain: 26% (96)
* Ron Paul: 24% (91)
* Mitt Romney: 9% (32)
Total Votes : 373
The poll results are interesting but not surprising, to me anyway. While clearly readers think that republicans best support our Second Amendment rights, not so many think Mitt Romney, who has since this poll was created, dropped out of the race. I’m not sure how much that actually affects the outcome of this poll.
Mike Huckabee, John McCain and Ron Paul virtually split evenly a total of 285 votes. Each one got nearly 3 times the number of votes as either Clinton or Obama.
From the democrat’s side, what I take from this poll is that Hillary Clinton, because of her past record on gun rights, received the lowest number of votes. Obama, even though he has essentially no record on gun control but has stated publicly that he will do “whatever it takes” to get guns out of the hands of criminals, received more support than Clinton.
Thanks for participating in this poll and make sure to give us your opinion on the newest poll just to the right.
