The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) will host a media teleconference next week to reveal the results of a national poll of 1,500 likely voters looking at the value Americans place on homeownership. Set to air on Wednesday, January 11 at 1 p.m., ET, the results of the poll indicate that, despite the economic downturn and housing crisis, respondents still consider owning a home an integral part of the American Dream and feel that policymakers need to take active steps to promote homeownership. Results reveal voter attitudes towards key housing issues including the mortgage interest deduction, and how those feelings would translate at the voting booth.
The survey was conducted by Neil Newhouse, partner and co-founder of Public Opinion Strategies, a leading Republican polling company, and Celinda Lake, president of Lake Research Partners, one of the Democratic Party’s leading strategists. During the teleconference, the pollsters will analyze the survey results, while NAHB CEO Jerry Howard will discuss its implications on the future of the American Dream.
