Poll: It's Not Guns; It's A Mental Health Crisis

In the aftermath of last week’s shooting at a Christian school in Nashville, a plurality of voters see mental health as the primary cause of such incidents.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 42% of likely U.S. voters believe mental health is more to blame for mass shootings in America, while 29% blame access to firearms. Another 11% say social media is more to blame for mass shootings, while seven percent (7%) blame school problems and six percent (6%) think family problems are more to blame. 

These findings are only slightly changed from March 2022. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
