A recent poll, published ahead of Mother's Day on May 10, 2026, asks readers: "This Sunday, What is the Absolute LEAST You Will Do For the Woman Who Gave You Life?" The poll, conducted by an unspecified organization, presents multiple-choice options including making a phone call, sending a gift, taking her out to brunch, or visiting in person.
As of May 9, 2026, the poll results show that the most common response is "visit in person," with 45% of respondents selecting this option. Another 30% said they would at least call, while 15% would send a gift, and 10% would take her out to brunch. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
Mother's Day is observed on the second Sunday of May in the United States and many other countries. This year, it falls on May 10. The poll highlights the varying ways people plan to honor their mothers, with a significant majority opting for direct personal contact.
