This is a "ranging shot"
First it tells how much interest there is in the topic. Next depending on how sophisticated the survey is, are there any votes in it.
This is not a government survey but you can bet that both sides are following it very closely.
What will happen next (IMO) they will see if there is support/opposition for certain kind of guns.
I can't stress enough that political parties are amoral and will say/do what ever they think will get them elected. This is part of the election platforms in the making.
The ideal issues are ones the majority of voters support and so does your party and your opponent opposes.
These are hard to find but worth looking for. That's what you are seeing now. There will be lots more, such as pipelines, parks, Isis, etc.
