The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
September 28, 2020: Twenty-eight percent (28%) of voters believe children born these days will have a better life than their parents. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 29% believe these children will have a worse life, and 24% think the quality of life will be about the same. Nineteen percent (19%) aren't sure.[1]
Thirty-five percent (35%) of men believe today's children will live better than their parents. Just 25% of male voters think today's children will be worse off.[1]
Women, by a 32% to 22% margin, take the opposite view and are more likely to think today's children will be worse off than their parents.[1]
Republicans and conservatives are a bit more optimistic than Democrats and liberals. Suburban voters are a bit more pessimistic than urban or rural voters. Older voters are more pessimistic while younger voters are more optimistic.[1]
The survey question did not ask how respondents would define a better life.
