By far, most respondents blame the killer himself. Coming in a distance second is the Media. And believe it or not, a few respondents blame Muslims, Trump, Jews and "Everybody."
The full results are below:
The killer 87%
Trump <1%
Jews <1%
Muslims 5%
Christians 0%
New Zealand Govt. 1%
Media 6%
Nobody <1%
Everybody <1%

Smears have become a distasteful staple in our media diet. The nonprofits, LLCs, super PACs, PR firms, crisis management companies and global law firms that organize and promote smears have formed a multibillion-dollar industry. They’re profiting beyond imagination.
Are we?
After interviewing many players who work in the smear industry, I came up with three characteristics that qualify an accusation as a smear. The determination of whether a particular attack is, in fact, a smear lies not so much in the truth of the accusation, but in execution and motivation.
In a smear:
When a smear is launched against someone we don’t like, we may be happy to enjoy the ride. If it’s against someone we like, we fret about how unjust it is. But we seldom step back and see the big truth: We are little more than an unwitting audience watching a scripted play. There are behind-the-scenes producers, writers and actors. They are experts at working the media, plucking our emotions and prompting their desired results. They carefully time each allegation, roll out demands for apologies or resignations, and organize “grassroots” boycotts.
We might benefit from asking ourselves if the smear du jour really deserves to dominate national or even global headlines, hour after hour, day after day. Is it really much more important than all of the real news happening around the world? Are we better off for the results?
Can we find kryptonite to weaken or destroy the smear, if we want to?

One of the more interesting trends we've been observing is the recent inching up of President Trump's Job Approval rating.
Yesterday, the Senate voted against the president's declaration of a national emergency and news headlines highlighted the fact that many Republican Senators joined Democrats in the rebuke of Trump's position.
Despite that, or perhaps because of it, the president's job approval reached its highest level in months--47%. Prior to yesterday, his approval had been at 46% on six of the last seven days. The president hasn’t had a stretch that positive since before the government shutdown.
--Scott Rasmussen, pollster
It will be interesting to see where these numbers head in the coming weeks and months.
In New Hampshire, the president's job approval is at 42%. That's well below the ratings of Governor Chris Sununu (78%), Senator Jeanne Shaheen (63%), and Senator Maggie Hassan (60%).
Normally, a 42% job approval rating would spell trouble for an incumbent seeking re-election. However, the president may benefit from a lesser of two evils factor. Six percent (6%) of New Hampshire voters disapprove of the president but believe things would be worse if Hillary Clinton was president. The combined total of 48% almost precisely matches the president’s share of the New Hampshire vote in 2016.
On other matters, a majority (54%) of New Hampshire voters do not believe that our economic system is fair to most Americans. However, just 27% have a favorable opinion of Socialism. And just 13% want to get rid of private health insurance companies.
Nationally, (58%) of voters believe increasing government spending hurts the economy. A ScottRasmussen.com survey found that only 18% believe it helps. Seven percent (7%) believe it has no impact and 17% are not sure.
Most voters (58%) also believe that raising personal income taxes hurts the economy.
On the flip side, 57% believe cutting personal income taxes helps the economy. And, by a 54% to 23% margin, voters also believe cutting government spending is good for the economy.
When it comes to corporate income taxes, opinion is mixed. Thirty-five percent (35%) believe cutting corporate income taxes helps the economy while 38% disagree and believe it hurts. Forty-four percent (44%) believe raising corporate income taxes is good for the economy while 32% take the opposite view.

That’s part of the problem when it comes to illegal immigration: along with what most would consider deserving, honest people are violent thugs responsible for horrendous crimes. Jonathan actually sits down with MS-13 gang members for an interview.
Also this week, some doctors say antidepressants can save lives. But there's a world renowned renegade psychiatrist with a different view. Psychiatrists typically rely on prescription drugs as much or more than any medical speciality but Dr. Peter Breggin has never prescribed a drug for treatment of mental disorders. He’ll tell us why. It’s food for thought for anyone seeking treatment for depression or other mental disorders.
