A Sept. 2025 Pew survey of 8,750 U.S. adults (including 1,193 caregivers) finds overwhelming public backing for policies to help family caregivers: 78% favor tax credits for caregiving costs, 71% back paying for short‑term respite care, and 69% favor requiring employers to provide paid family leave. Majorities across parties support each measure, though Democrats back them at substantially higher rates than Republicans on some items.
— This shows durable public political space for caregiver supports and reframes eldercare not only as a family issue but as a national policy priority with bipartisan potential.
