Parents Split On Family‑Helper Party

While Americans overall give Democrats a 41%–27% edge on helping families with children, parents of under‑18s are evenly split (34% Democrats, 35% Republicans). This parent–non‑parent divergence suggests different messaging and policy salience for voters directly managing childcare and schooling. — It signals campaign strategy should treat parents as a distinct persuasion bloc on family policy rather than extrapolating from general‑public attitudes.
