Unsolved Problems with the Fathers

Americans unresolved father problems. Over half of Americans agree
that most people have unresolved problems with their fathers. Cumulatively,
55.6% agreed with this statement, up from 54.1% in our 1996 poll. More
non-whites (70.4%) than whites (56.3%) were in agreement. Interestingly, the
generation who has experienced more father absence, 18- to 24-year-old,
displayed the highest level of agreement (67.2%). Income was also a
differentiating factor: of the respondents making $25,000 or less, 70.1% agreed,
compared to only 48.0% among those who make more than $50,000.
