A new AP-NORC poll finds most Americans do not want the government to focus on increasing birth rates, despite efforts by the Trump administration to make this a priority. Instead, people want the government to focus on reducing child care costs and improving maternal health. The survey reveals only 12% think encouraging more births should be a high priority, while 62% see it as a low priority. About three-quarters of adults view child care costs as a major issue, with support for policies like affordable daycare and paid family leave. Fertility treatment costs are also a concern, with nearly half favoring insurance coverage for such treatments.
