As per a recent poll, there has been an increasing support and push for paid family, parental, and medical leave. The survey conducted by Lake Research Partners, in association with Paid Leave for All, revealed overwhelming support from voters across all party lines in key battleground states. In fact, 85% of voters across political spheres supported the policy. The breakdown indicated that 96% of Democrats, 82% of Independents, and 76% of Republicans were in favour of paid leave.

Interestingly, younger women showed massive support at 94%, along with 84% of suburban women, and an astounding 99% of Black women. Even among typically low turnout Gen Z and millennial voters, 92% voiced their support for the policy.

The polling suggests that a candidate who adopts a stance in favor of creating a paid family and medical leave program may potentially see an increase in voter turnout. More notably, approximately two-thirds of the battleground voters are likely to vote in the coming elections.
