An overwhelming majority of registered voters (89%) rank the issue of expanding access to mental health care as important, making it a top‐tier issue for voters alongside lowering the cost of living for working families (96%) and making housing more affordable (88%). The statistics are the result of a national mental health poll conducted for the mental health advocacy organization, Inseparable Action, the company's news release stated. The findings are based on a nationwide online and text‐to‐web survey of 1,000 registered voters in English and Spanish from July 22–29, 2024. The poll found near‐universal support for requiring insurance companies to improve coverage of mental health care (94%). A strong majority of registered voters also supports policies that bar companies from cutting mental health care or limiting access (83%). The poll found that 94% of respondents support requiring health plans to maintain accurate and up‐to‐date information for consumers about the mental health providers in their networks. The poll involved the collaboration between Impact Research, a Democratic polling firm, and Meeting Street Insights, a Republican polling firm.
