A national poll commissioned by the Concerned Women for America (CWA) regarding midterm election issues found wide support for fairness in women’s sports; an FDA requirement for in-person doctor’s visits to dispense the abortion drug; policies to make it easier for mothers to afford to stay home with young children; creating a marijuana roadside test, and wide opposition to gender transition services for minors. Additional poll data include results on prescription drug prices, the gender wage gap, and Netflix’s children’s content.

“Candidates running for office this year must recognize that voters are widely supportive of protecting women’s health, the ability to raise children, fairness in women’s sports, protecting children from gender transitions and from TV content with LGBTQ themes. We are encouraged by the poll results, especially in this politically divisive time. This poll should serve as a roadmap for conservative candidates,” said Penny Nance, CEO and President, Concerned Women for America.

More than half of U.S. young men report feeling lonely or isolated at least some of the time, nearly half lack a sense of community, and many say the American dream feels increasingly out of reach, according to a report from the Institute for Family Studies.

The second installment of the institute’s “America’s Demoralized Men” study, based on a nationally representative YouGov survey of 2,000 men ages 18 to 29, examined young men’s social lives, mental health, civic engagement, and online habits. Researchers said the findings revealed a generation that still desires marriage, fatherhood, and meaningful work but often struggles to achieve those goals.

Michael Toscano is Senior Fellow, Director of the Family First Technology Initiative for the Institute for Family Studies. He previously served as Executive Director.
