Few Americans see falling birth rates as a national priority, according to a new survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.<\/p>\n

When asked in the Thursday survey about how large of a problem declining birth rates in the U.S. is, 28 percent of respondents said it is a major issue while 44 percent called it a minor one. Twenty-seven percent didn’t consider it a problem at all. <\/p>\n

The U.S. birth rate fell to an almost record low last year<\/a>, per preliminary data. A vital statistics rapid release report published earlier this year by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that about 3.6 million babies were born in the U.S. last year, a 1 percent increase from a record low number of births two years ago.<\/p>\n
