NAHB recently commissioned a large national poll to gauge likely-voters' attitudes toward housing and housing policy issues. Countering recent claims that housing, and homeownership in particular, has fallen out of favor with the American public, the poll results indicate that homeownership and housing choice should remain national priorities.
The poll has been referenced in the national press, real estate trade reporting and commentary. Results from the poll include: 75 percent of voters say owning the home is the best long-term investment they can make; 73 percent of voters who do not own a home aspire to become a homeowner in the future; 95 percent of homeowners say they are happy with their decision to own a home; 73 percent of voters believe it is appropriate and reasonable for the federal government to provide tax incentives to encourage homeownership.
The poll, conducted by a bipartisan teaming of Public Opinion Strategies and Lake Research Partners, involved surveying 2,000 likely voters. The margin of error for the poll was plus or minus 2.19 percent (compared to the typical plus or minus 3.5 percent). By these measures, the poll's findings are robust.
On particular policy issues, the poll revealed strong support for the mortgage interest deduction (MID). Even proposals that only involved targeted curtailments generated majorities in opposition.
