December 2011 Polling

Here are your polling results from December 2011. There were a number of year in review questions such as the top parliamentarian (Jason Kenney), top news story (Tory majority), and biggest political gaffe (Iggy forcing election). Should gun registry data be shared with the provinces? That question went 92% no on my site, but more shocking was that a majority voted no to a similar question on the CBC website.
