HAMDEN, Conn. A Quinnipiac University Poll released Thursday found that a majority of people surveyed support stricter gun laws.

In a poll released on March fourth by Quinnipiac University, 55 percent of respondents said Andrew Cuomo should not resign, five percentage points higher than Monday’s poll.
The Siena poll also discovered that 57 percent of respondents said they were satisfied with how Cuomo has addressed the alleged wrongdoing.
That poll number is better than his previous metric, when only 27 percent said that they were “satisfied with Governor Cuomo’s explanation and apology regarding the sexual harassment allegations made against him.”
