SWING STATE HOUSING POLL
Across the country communities are grappling with sky-high rent and mortgage prices. Many of our elected leaders aren’t stepping up to make it right.
Right to the City Action in coordination with the Center for Popular Democracy and HIT Strategies polled registered voters across 5 battleground states: Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina to understand how the crisis of housing affordability has impacted them and how it has influenced the kind of political leaders they want in office.
Swing state voters agreed that the cost of housing is a critical issue in their lives and it is one that they see their elected leaders addressing nearly the least.
of swing state voters said that the cost of rent and housing is a major or big problem in their state
said housing costs are causing the most stress in their families, out of a list of economic issues
said that they are more likely to vote for candidates that support rent stabilization policies
prioritize voting for candidates that back gov funding for permanently affordable rentals
The poll revealed that swing state voters overwhelmingly want to support politicians who lead with progressive housing solutions.
Voters want rent stabilization, permanently affordable housing, just cause eviction and more. The “build, build, build” solutions offered up by developers and corporate landlords rings hollow with a majority of these voters. Fortunately, we don’t have to wait for our political leaders to get the memo. Right to the City Action member organizations have been organizing for these solutions for years and are fighting to make homes truly affordable for all.
