Trump vs Harris: Renters Debate Who Is Better for Housing Affordability
A new Redfin survey reveals that 48.4% of U.S. renters believe Kamala Harris would be best for making housing more affordable, while 31.2% favor Donald Trump. The remaining 18.7% are unsure. The survey, conducted by Ipsos in September 2024, polled 1,802 people aged 18-65, focusing on 894 renter respondents.
Redfin Chief Economist Daryl Fairweather explains that renters tend to lean Democratic due to their demographics: younger people living in cities with higher living costs. Regarding voting intentions, 43.6% of surveyed renters plan to vote for Harris, 28% for Trump, while 12.3% don't plan to vote and 11.7% are undecided.
Fairweather emphasizes that solving the housing affordability crisis requires a coordinated effort between federal and local governments over many years, focusing on incentivizing homebuilding to address the housing shortage.

Il rimanente 18,7% non è sicuro. Il sondaggio, condotto da Ipsos a settembre 2024, ha coinvolto 1.802 persone di età compresa tra 18 e 65 anni, concentrandosi su 894 rispondenti inquilini.
Il Capo Economista di Redfin, Daryl Fairweather, spiega che gli inquilini tendono a propendere per i Democratici a causa della loro demografia: giovani che vivono in città con costi di vita più elevati. Per quanto riguarda le intenzioni di voto, il 43,6% degli inquilini intervistati intende votare per Harris, il 28% per Trump, mentre il 12,3% non intende votare e il 11,7% è indeciso.
Fairweather sottolinea che risolvere la crisi dell'accessibilità abitativa richiede uno sforzo coordinato tra i governi federale e locale per molti anni, concentrandosi sull'incentivare la costruzione di abitazioni per affrontare la carenza di alloggi.

새로운 Redfin 설문 조사에 따르면 48.4%의 미국 세입자들이 주택을 더 저렴하게 만드는 데에 카말라 해리스가 가장 적합하다고 생각하며, 31.2%는 도널드 트럼프를 선호합니다. 나머지 18.7%는 확신이 없습니다. 이 설문 조사는 2024년 9월 Ipsos에 의해 실시되었으며, 18세에서 65세 사이의 1,802명을 조사했고, 894명의 세입자 응답자에 초점을 맞췄습니다.
Redfin의 수석 경제학자인 다릴 페어웨더는 세입자들이 도시의 높은 생활 비용에 거주하는 젊은 사람들로 구성되어 있으므로 민주당에 기울어지는 경향이 있다고 설명합니다. 투표 의도에 대해 43.6%의 조사된 세입자들이 해리스를 지지할 계획이고, 28%는 트럼프를 지지하며, 12.3%는 투표할 계획이 없고 11.7%는 미결정입니다.
페어웨더는 주택의 접근성 문제를 해결하려면 연방정부와 지방정부 간의 조정된 노력이 여러 해에 걸쳐 필요하며, 주택 부족 문제를 해결하기 위해 주택 건설을 장려해야 한다고 강조합니다.
