Support for "AW" or semiautomatic ban falls well below 50%
In fact, 57% oppose and only 40% favor a ban on "semi-automatic guns, known as assault rifles." (I guess we can't expect pollsters to know much about guns).

Surely that's because the NRA controls all media outlets and won't let 'em talk about it. I probably saw that on Twitter, so you know it must be true. ;-)
the phrase they use:
banning "semi-automatic guns, known as assault rifles."
is telling - up to this point many people had the impression that assault rifles were full auto now I think more people are aware or notice that it says semi-auto in the phrasing. Was this always true? Gallup claims they have been using the same wording since 1996 but I am suspicious.
"Semiautonomous?" I've heard of self-driving cars but not self-shooting guns. :)
