1. Guns
  
  from Gallup
  
  Do you have a gun in your home? In general, do you feel that the laws covering the sale of firearms should be made more strict, less strict, or kept as they are now? Do you think there should or should not be a law that would ban the possession of handguns, except by the police and other authorized persons?

  And even though I said I didn't want to debate the correctness of voters' beliefs, here's the article that convinced me the data aren't clear cut. It's 10 years old now, so perhaps there's better science since then. I'm happy to look at more recent overviews; individual studies are very difficult to evaluate on their own.
