How do Americans feel about the NRA?

The NRA is somewhat popular among the general public. A long-running Gallup poll question has found that the NRA enjoys a generally positive approval rating, with 58 percent of Americans saying they approve of the group. About a fifth of all gun owners say they are members.

But according to a poll commissioned by the gun control advocacy group Americans for Responsible Solutions, 67 percent say the group has been overtaken by lobbyists. A 2017 Pew survey found that 44 percent of Americans say the NRA has too much influence over gun laws, with 40 percent saying it has the right amount and 15 percent saying it has too little.

There is some evidence that the NRA’s policy positions are out of step with the American public. Vast majorities of Americans support many gun control measures, according to a Quinnipiac poll released in February 2018. Universal background checks: 97 percent. A mandatory waiting period for all gun purchases: 83 percent. A nationwide ban on the sale of assault weapons: 67 percent. Stricter gun control laws: 66 percent (up from 47 percent in December 2015).
