(Washington, DC) -- A new poll shows inflation is becoming a huge struggle for parents.

The Pew Research Center says one in four parents in the U.S. struggled to afford food or housing this past year.

Twenty-percent say they can no longer afford childcare.

The study says about half of lower-income parents haven't had enough money for food or rent, sending many to food banks for the first time.
