A majority of Texans think the state is headed in the wrong direction and an even larger number believe elected officials are not doing enough to prevent mass shootings, according to the results of a statewide poll released Monday.
When asked if things in Texas are headed in the right direction or the wrong track, 54% of respondents said the wrong track compared to 44% that said the opposite. The remaining 2% chose “neither.” Gun safety has been a hot-button issue for several years following several mass shootings that have taken place in Texas, including the most recent killings of 19 schoolchildren and two teachers in Uvalde in May.
