According to a new Marist poll, 71 percent of Americans support stricter gun laws in the aftermath of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. That number is up 7 percent since last October.  

Additionally, 58 percent of gun owners said they think gun laws should be stricter.

Since last week's shooting, survivors have become champions of gun reform. Of those polled by Marist, 74 percent said students will have an impact on reforming these issues.

The survey included 1,026 adults 18 years of age and older and was conducted February 20-21.
