Daily Beast: "New figures from Public Policy Polling find voters more likely to support Sens. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) and Kay Hagan (D-NC) after they voted 'yes' on tightening background checks. These numbers are especially notable because both Democratic senators are up for reelection in 2014 in red states."

'On the flip side, as we showed here on Tuesday, approval ratings for several senators in both parties who voted against the measure--ultimately defeating it--have taken a noticeable dip. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), Mark Begich (D-AK) were among the most bruised, according to the numbers."
