Gallup's report today looks at what Americans believe to be the ideal family size, and the "ideal" number of children per family:

Today, a slight majority (52%) says having one or two children is best, while 38% say three or more. An additional 1% say the ideal size is zero.

Left out of the equation is the well-known fact that two children can sound like eight. Also, Gallup fails to explain whether the 1 percent who think zero kids is the "ideal size" actually have kids, or not.

It also doesn't explain if, for those parents who were questioned, whether the polling was done before or after the kids were asleep for the night. Methodology, folks, methodology.
