-As President Barack Obama gets ready to spell out White House proposals to curb gun violence, three new national polls indicate a majority of Americans support most gun control measures.
But they are divided by political party, gender, age, race and education over some of the proposals.
The polls released this week came one month after a gunman killed 26 people, including 20 children, at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
