Obama's failure to lead in the fight for gun control is much more the issue with voters than gun control, itself. We all know that he is no leader of men.

WaPo:   Even though the regulations he proposed are broadly popular, a new Quinnipiac poll finds a majority of voters disapprove of the way President Obama is handling gun policy.

Forty-one percent of voters approve of Obama on the issue, while 52 percent disapprove. The gap comes from independents and from relatively weak support among Democratic voters. Some of those Democrats could disapprove of Obama’s handling of the issue because the legislation failed — 23 percent of Democrats disapprove of his handling of the issue, far higher than the 8 percent who disapprove of his overall job performance.

There’s also a big gender gap on the question, with 60 percent of men disapproving of Obama compared to 45 percent of women.
