61% : Munson said people should look to the free market for solutions such as employers buying and holding child care slots in private day care for their workers.

32% :Carnahan, who resigned from the GOP after a scandal-plagued tenure that included the indictment of a top party donor on child sex-trafficking charges (she has denied any knowledge of the allegations), said Congress should "restore" the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed under Trump that many Democrats have unsuccessfully tried to roll back but that partially expire in 2025, and rework trade deals using the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement as a blueprint.
