Americans want Congress to act on lowering housing costs
"The online poll of 1,000 registered voters, conducted in partnership with Advocus Partners, The Tarrance Group and Avenue Solutions from April 28-30, also found that the cost of housing is a crucial issue to voters, with 79% saying that it is an extremely or very important issue to them. Notably, 91% of respondents between 18 and 44 said that the cost of housing is extremely or very important."
"Nearly eight in ten (78%) of voters say that housing is their biggest expense, including 88% under the age of 45. More than half (57%) agree that housing costs make it difficult to meet their other financial obligations, but that share jumps to 76% among voters under 45."
"Roughly nine in ten (88%) of voters agree that it's harder to buy a house now than ever before. Among younger voters, the share of respondents agreeing with that sentiment is nearly unanimous. The results signal that housing is a top priority for voters, regardless of political affiliation."
"According to the poll, 63% of voters said they would be more likely to vote for a representative or senator who voted for or helped pass a federal housing bill into law. Housing costs are at the top of voters' minds, and the poll that you have received confirms it. People across the country are feeling the pressure, and they want Congress to respond."
