Just over half (54%) say there should be policies that make it easy to build homes in their area\u2013the lowest share among the policies we asked about, but still majority support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"datawrapper-vis-isdA4\" style=\"min-height: 653px;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\" defer src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/isdA4\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\" data-target=\"#datawrapper-vis-isdA4\"><\/script><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/isdA4\/full.png\" alt=\"Most Americans of Both Political Parties Support Housing Affordability Policies (Grouped Bars)\" \/><\/noscript><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is according to a Redfin survey conducted by Ipsos in May 2026, fielded to 4,000 U.S. residents. This report focuses on the following question: \u201cHow much do you agree with the following statements?\u201d Respondents were provided with a list of statements about housing policies; the full list is in the chart above. Please see the end of this report for more on methodology.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Support For Housing Policies Is Bipartisan<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Democrats are generally more likely than Republicans to support housing programs, but not by much. For instance, 83% of Democrats say there should be policies that make homes more affordable, as do 74% of Republicans. Eighty-five percent of Democrats say there should be first-time buyer tax breaks, as do 77% of Republicans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These survey results align with the broad bipartisan support behind the federal <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.banking.senate.gov\/imo\/media\/doc\/section-by-section_for_the_21st_century_road_to_housing_act.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ROAD to Housing Act<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/06\/24\/business\/housing-package-congress-midterms.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Congress signed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on June 23 and is currently in political limbo as President Trump <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2026\/06\/24\/us\/trump-news#trump-housing-bill-voting-restrictions\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">delays plans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to sign it. The legislation is aimed at tackling the nationwide housing affordability crisis by increasing housing supply, streamlining building processes and expanding access to affordable homeownership opportunities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFor over a decade, the prevailing view was that housing was a local issue best left to city councils and mayors\u2013but housing affordability has become a national crisis,\u201d said Daryl Fairweather, Redfin\u2019s chief economist. \u201cBy passing this bill out of the Senate Banking Committee 24-0, Republicans and Democrats alike showed that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/road-to-housing-act-historic\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">affordability is a priority<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The great accomplishment of the bill itself is that it uses solutions like zoning reform and improved permitting to prove that government policies can make people better off without spending big.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One policy in the ROAD to Housing Act is an effort to expand manufactured housing\u2013a lower-cost alternative to traditional homes\u2013by streamlining federal regulations. Bipartisan backers argue that increasing the supply of lower-cost houses can improve affordability for both homebuyers and renters. That ties in with the survey results in this report, which show that 85% of Democrats and 68% of Republicans believe there should be initiatives for building homes for low-income families. Additionally, nearly three in five (57%) respondents from each party say there should be policies to make it easier to build homes in their area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Methodology<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b> \u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The survey results in this report are from a Redfin survey conducted by Ipsos in May 2026. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was fielded to a nationally representative sample of 4,000 adults 18+ who are U.S. residents, including 1,338 Democrats and 1,167 Republicans.
