Stretching back to 1993, Pew has found a consistently sizeable plurality, if not majority, of Americans placed more importance on gun ownership, peaking at 66% in 2000. Since then, that number has seen a steady decline, hitting 49% both in 2017 and 2011.
That said, what does this shift mean for the upcoming elections? Obviously the sentiments of Americans are changing, but the implications of those changes look to be incremental in influencing the electoral results.
An earlier Pew poll found that 28% place gay marriage as “very important” to their vote, and 47% gave gun control the same weight. As has been said before, and will be said again before the polls close, it’s economy that trumps all matters, regardless of the changing tides toward gun-owning gay couples.
Pew’s survey was conducted via telephone interviews among 3,0008 adults nationwide between April 4-15, with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.9-3.0%.

皮尤调查中心的投票结果显示,越来越多的美国人支持同性恋婚姻,同时,越来越多的美国人认为持枪权利比枪械管制重要。
此次投票结果表明,在这两个问题上民众意见有了重大转变,这标志着近年来形成的两种潮流达到了顶峰。
目前,49%的美国人认为保护民众持枪权利更为重要,同时47%的美国人支持同性婚姻合法化。虽然两项投票结果都没有占多数,但是支持这两项政策的人数超过了反对的人数。其中仅45%的美国人认为枪械管制更重要,43%的人反对同性婚姻。
