Survey: Violent Video Games Bigger Threat Than Guns
A recent survey published by Public Policy Polling showed that 67 percent of those surveyed felt that video games are a bigger threat to America than guns.
Despite the fact President Obama was just recently elected, Public Policy Polling (PPP) has already conducted a survey to see who will win the Democratic and Republican primary in 2016.
The questions primarily focused on how respondents felt toward potential candidates - from Bobby Jindal to Hillary Clinton. All in all, the PPP's results spanned more than 80 pages, with the survey titled, "Clinton, Rubio Lead Primary Contests."
One of the many questions asked was: "What do you think is a bigger safety threat in America: Guns or violent video games?"

The PPP surveyed 800 voters nationally from Jan. 31 to Feb. 3. According to the PPP, the margin of error for the survey is plus-or-minus 3.5 percent. The poll was not paid for or authorized by any campaign or political organization. The PPP survey was conducted through automated telephone interviews.
