📊 Gallup trend flips upward: after decades of decline from 1960s levels, the share calling three or more children “ideal” rose about ten points in the 2020s to 44%, while 46% say 1–2 kids is ideal.
🗳️ Party gap widens sharply: 50% of Republicans prefer 3+ vs 31% of Democrats, with Democrats roughly flat since 2011.
⚖️ Gender gap emerges: 48% of men vs 37% of women now say 3+ is ideal, with an even larger split under age 50.
👶 Implication: diverging ideals persist amid falling birth rates, with cultural/media cues possibly boosting pro‑large‑family sentiment on the right.
