In the aftermath of the recent shooting at a Christian school in Nashville, a plurality of voters see mental health as the primary cause of such incidents.
That’s according to the latest Rasmussen Reports.
The survey found 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.
About two-thirds (67%) of voters believe it is likely that the attack on Nashville’s Covenant School will inspire similar “copycat” attacks on Christian schools, including 32% who think it’s “very likely.
Twenty percent (20%) don’t think “copycat” shootings are likely, and 12% are not sure.
