November 16, 2020: Twenty-nine percent (29%) of voters believe children born today will live better lives than their parents. However, a PoliticalIQ national survey found that 35% take the opposite view and believe it will be worse.[1]
The survey, conducted by Scott Rasmussen, found that 16% believe there won’t be much difference, and 20% are not sure.[1]
Solid pluralities of Republicans and independents believe children born today will be worse off than their parents. By a 38% to 24% margin, Democrats take a more optimistic view. This partisan divide is likely the result of the presidential election. People tend to be more optimistic when their party controls the White House.[1]
Rural voters are significantly more pessimistic than urban or suburban voters.[1]
Senior citizens are far more pessimistic than younger voters.[1]
