Children and Family Issues on the Campaign Trail: Polling, Politics, and Policy


 
May 8, 2008
9:00-10:30 a.m. ET

As voters weigh candidates' positions on domestic issues, differing views about the government's role in helping children and families will come into play. What do members of the public believe about children and families? How do their beliefs overlap or conflict with the research and policy evidence and the demographic and economic trends that shape family life? This session explored these opportunities and conflicts and how they might play out in the policies of the next administration and Congress.
