--TODAY IN THE GRANITE STATE: Less than one week after the deadly shooting at the Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, Hillary Clinton is set to propose a series of gun control measures she would enact if elected president, ABC's LIZ KREUTZ reports. Clinton's plan, which she plans to unveil at campaign events in New Hampshire today, comes two days after the Democratic presidential candidate blasted Republicans for putting "the NRA ahead of American families," and just hours after her Democratic challenger, Martin O'Malley, called on both Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders to back his plan to reduce gun violence, which he announced last month.

--WHAT CLINTON'S PLAN WOULD DO: Clinton's plan will continue calls for universal background checks and for the ban of military-style assault weapons from the streets. In addition, it will call for a crackdown on the sale of guns on the Internet and at gun shows -- something Clinton will say she will even take executive action to do. It will also push for legislation to prevent gun sales from going through without completed background checks (dubbed the "Charleston Loophole"), and for legislation to prohibit domestic abusers and stalkers from buying and possessing guns. And it will call for repealing the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, in order to make sure dealers and manufacturers are held accountable for negligence when crimes are committed with products they've sold.

--NEW FUSION POLL DEBUTS: FUSION today announced that it has launched a new monthly poll of young people between the ages of 18-35, the demographic marketers commonly refer to as millennials. The millennial generation is a vast one, accounting for a third of U.S. adults, with growing influence in the nation's political, social and economic life. FUSION's new poll -- conducted via national, random-sample telephone interviews -- includes a larger sample of millennials than most other surveys, allowing for more detailed analysis of attitudes in this influential population group.

--FIRST LOOK -- WHAT YOUNG AMERICANS REALLY THINK ABOUT IMMIGRATION: Young people overwhelmingly support extending rights to undocumented immigrants, putting them out of step with most Republican presidential candidates, according to the first installment of Fusion's Issues Poll, which will survey approximately 1,000 people between the ages of 18 and 35 regularly ahead of next year's election, FUSION's JORGE RIVAS reports. 81% of those surveyed said they favor a pathway to legal status for undocumented immigrants who arrive in the U.S. as children, or who have U.S. citizen children. By 78%, they also want to keep intact the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to all persons born in the U.S. And 74% of those surveyed rejected the idea that undocumented immigrants are taking desirable jobs from other people, a claim that GOP presidential hopefuls Rick Santorum and Donald Trump have often repeated. Fusion's 2016 issues poll was produced by Langer Research Associates. http://fus.in/1L3uwl7
