77% Plan To Visit Mom on Mother’s Day

Most Americans whose mothers are still alive plan to honor them today with an in-person visit, but only one-in-four of all adults (27%) consider Mother’s Day one of the country’s most important holidays.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of American Adults finds that 10% consider it the one of the least important holidays, while 58% say it falls somewhere in between.  (To see survey question wording, click here.)

This nationwide survey of 1,000 Adults was conducted on May 9-10, 2012 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
