A poll investigating the level of public support for proposed gun control legislation reported that 66 of the respondents were in favor. The pollsters reported a sampling error of 2.
 
  When the responses were broken down by gender, support was 3 higher among women than men. The pollsters said the margin of error for this difference was 3. Why is the margin of error larger for the difference in support between the genders than for the overall level of support?
