One way MSNBC solicits the opinions of its news consumers is through the organization’s online Speak Out surveys. Using social media and its television and radio news shows, MSNBC encourages its news consumers to go online and respond to various opinion polls about trending topics. Typically the polls remain open. In one ongoing Speak Out poll, MSNBC asks, "Do you support open-carry gun laws in restaurants and retail stores?" As of May 10th, 2015, more than 24,000 people had responded to the poll, and 74% indicated, "Yes, such legislation makes me feel safer."
