Trust and accountability

Do Americans agree on banning congressional stock trading?

Yes, this dated survey found majority support across parties. But a policy poll is not a vote on the complete House-passed bill. H.R. 7008 passed the House; the September 30, 2026 Senate action did not advance consideration through cloture. It was not an enacted ban in the official record checked October 9.

This national survey found broad support for disclosure. The related S. 4915 AI Labeling Act of 2026 remained an introduced proposal in the official record checked October 9, with a June 24 referral to the Senate Commerce Committee.

AI and information trust

Do Americans want oversight of AI that makes important decisions?

This survey found majority support across parties for testing new high-impact AI systems. The related H.R. 5511 Algorithmic Accountability Act of 2025 addresses impact assessments, not an identical government-approval test. Its official record checked October 9, 2026 showed committee referral.

Family and work

Do Americans agree on national paid family and medical leave?

This dated survey found majority support across parties for a specified paid-leave design. H.R. 5390, the FAMILY Act, was still at House Ways and Means referral in the official record checked October 9, 2026. Current FMLA protections and state paid-leave programs are separate from that proposal.

Family and work

Do Americans support limiting child-care costs relative to income?

This dated survey found majority support across parties for a child-care affordability proposal. H.R. 4418 proposes an income-based copayment structure, but remained at committee referral in the October 9, 2026 official record. A separate 2026 federal rule rescinded the CCDF-mandated 7% copayment cap; state policies can differ.

Do Americans agree on raising the federal minimum wage?

In this survey, most respondents chose a wage above the $7.25 federal floor. That is not the same as supporting a single target. The related H.R. 2743 Raise the Wage Act of 2025 proposes a path to $17; the official record checked October 9, 2026 still showed committee referral.

Public finances

Do Americans support Social Security taxes on higher earnings?

This survey found majority support across parties for adding Social Security payroll tax above a stated $400,000 wage threshold. That is not the same as removing the cap on every kind of income. Related H.R. 1700 uses $250,000, not the poll’s threshold, and was not enacted in the October 9, 2026 record checked here.
