Poll: Only 19% of Joe Biden Voters Say Society Benefits From Marriage, Having Children
Very few supporters of President Joe Biden believe prioritizing marriage and having children is beneficial for society, polling from the Pew Research Center found.
Only 19 percent of Biden voters say that “society is better off if people make marriage and having children a priority,” compared to 59 percent of former President Donald Trump supporters and 39 percent of registered voters overall. The results come amid a singleness and loneliness epidemic among young people and as the United States continues to experience the lowest birth rate in a century.
The survey found “modest differences” between men and women as to whether a focus on marriage and children improves society.
“About six-in-ten men who support Trump (63 percent) say this, compared with 54 percent of Trump-supporting women. There is a similar gender gap among Biden supporters (22 percent of men vs. 16 percent of women),” according to the survey report.
By ethnicity, black Biden voters (29 percent) are more likely than Asian (20 percent), white (17 percent), and Hispanic (16 percent) Biden supporters to say an emphasis on marriage and family improves society.
