This report focuses on information Count on Mothers collected on an issue of interest to Mothers. In June 2024, we studied Mothers’ first-hand experiences and views on the industries of most concern to Mothers and most pressing concern with the industries. A total of 650 Mothers residing in 47 states in a representative sample across the political spectrum provided feedback. Regarding the political background of the survey respondents, the sample fairly reflects the U.S. breakdown of political ideology among women according to Gallup. 9.3% identified as very conservative, 19.5% identified as conservative, 39.5% identified as moderate, 20.0% identified as liberal and 9.8% identified as very liberal, and 1.9% identified as other. After analyzing Mothers’ opinions from the survey, we take this aggregate data and share it with industry leaders, policymakers, and the public so they are educated on Mothers’ firsthand experiences.
