Fathers today play greater role in children’s lives: Poll

U.S. adults believe the role of fatherhood has shifted over the last few decades, with many noting the job has become more difficult, according to a recent poll.

While many are split as to whether fathers are doing a better or worse job today, a YouGov poll found that 63% of adults believe fathers play as great or greater a role in raising their children than their fathers did. Only 22% said they believe fathers now play less of a role in raising their children.
