Pennsylvania voters support Sen. Toomey on gun control

Despite angering his conservative base, Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey appears to have weathered the recent debate over gun control.

From a new Quinnipiac University poll:

Pennsylvania voters approve 34 - 29 percent of the way U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey is handling gun control and give Sen. Toomey an overall 48 - 30 percent approval rating, his highest ever. By a 54 - 12 percent margin, voters think more favorably of Toomey because of his co-sponsorship of legislation to require expanded background checks.
