If you're a Member of Congress – you might want to think twice about vying for that "prized" NRA endorsement. A new Public Policy Polling survey found that an NRA endorsement will actually hurt most political candidates.
The poll surveyed voters around the nation – asking them if an NRA endorsement would make them more or less likely to support a particular candidate. According to the results, 26% of voters said the NRA's endorsement makes them more likely to support a candidate. BUT, a much higher 39% said it would make them less likely to support a candidate. Among independents, 41% said an NRA endorsement will diminish their support for a candidate. Remember, this is the same organization that spent millions in 2012, to elect pro-gun lawmakers – yet fewer than 1% of its contributions went to winning candidates. This is not an organization to be feared. If anything, it should be put in a museum.

They didn't ask me!. Just another political "poll" somebody made up. Wonder how much they were paid to publish this BS.
Don't believe the liberal media.
This blog is much more accurate a representation!
I simply do not believe this. Any pollster can pick and choose those they poll.
Had the pleasure of attending a meeting of the Salisbury Gun Club last week! What a nice group whom I would and will be proud to call anyone of them friend and neighbor! All of those common sense folk will give credence to an NRA endorsement!
If I was a politician I would love to have the NRA endorse me. Suporters of the second amendment.
The NRA never was a great influence on me and my thoughts about the second amendment. They always have portrayed their selves as more of a hunters rights organization instead of coming right out and saying guns are our protection against a tyrannical government. That is the problem with politics in general, it is the art of compromise, what you can say to make the most people happy. The 2nd amendment is a constitutional issue. Will we continue to uphold it or not? Those that sacrifice freedom for a little security deserve neither.
