The conclusion is that there is not enough evidence to reject the claim that 62% of voters favor gun control. This means that the researcher's claim cannot be disproved with the available evidence, but it also cannot be confirmed with certainty. The null hypothesis (that the true proportion of voters who favor gun control is 62%) cannot be rejected, but this does not necessarily mean that it is true.
