Also, it's only one poll & needs be corroborated by another reputable source (which pew certainly is).

Quinnipiac:
"Do you support or oppose stricter gun control laws in the United States?"

% Support/Oppose/Unsure
6/14 50/47/3
3/13 53/42/4
7/08 54/40/5

Gallup:
"In general, do you feel that the laws covering the sale of firearms should be made more strict, less strict or kept as they are now?"

% More/Less/Same
10/14 47/14/38
10/13 49/13/37
10/08 49/08/41

Support for stricter gun control laws down in both cases and opposition to stricter gun laws up in both cases. The numbers fluctuate, but the trend is towards less restrictive laws. As far as the Pew wording being misleading, a quick check shows it is the exact same wording they have been using for the many years they have been asking it. If it gives bad results, it seems that no one on the gun control side seemed to care as long as it was bad results that supported their point of view...
