Polling showed a national rent cap was hugely popular with exactly the working-class voters Democrats lost this week. At the DNC, there was a panel showing the data & pushing the party to take it up.
In the end, while housing costs skyrocketed, Dems offered renters nothing.

“While Trump and his allies may attempt to shift blame to external factors or scapegoat immigrants...the reality is that unregulated real estate practices are at the heart of the issue." theintercept.com/2024/10/02/…

“The response at every point from my fellow Democrats has been, ‘Can this wait till after the election?’ My hope is that we’re on the verge of beating Trump, and I can’t wait to see every single person who told us to shut up about saving our families’ lives out there in the streets with us, on the phones, in front of the White House, demanding an end to these weapons.” -@AZAlawieh on @CrookedMedia

It’s terrifying that $2,000 for a 1-bedroom apartment is becoming the norm, and not just in CA. We need a southwest regional strategy in NV, AZ & CA that focuses on strong tenant protections & a huge increase in affordable housing. Thanks @RTTCAction @popdemoc for this polling!
"Concerns about housing ranked among voters’ top issues...though voters say they’ve heard little from their elected officials in terms of solutions."
Read about our poll with @popdemoc asking voters in battleground states about housing: michiganadvance.com/2024/06/… @MichiganAdvance
“A generation of renters have been saddled by rapidly rising housing costs and ignored by elected officials across the political spectrum.”
Our Executive Director Dawn Phillips speaks to the @thedailybeast about our new poll about the housing crisis: thedailybeast.com/how-not-to…
“Our poll tells us what we have known for a long time: Solutions like rent stabilization, just cause eviction protections and government-funded permanently affordable housing…are common sense to renters and homeowners alike."

Yesterday we dropped a new poll with @popdemoc & @HITStrat about how the housing crisis could impact the 2024 election 🔥 And guess what? Voters want permanently affordable housing solutions NOW!

We see the need for action against the housing crisis! Over 60% of Nevadans are more likely to vote for candidates who support rent stabilization and government investment in permanently affordable housing.
This is an ongoing issue - nearly half of MI voters do not see their political leaders working to address the rising cost of housing ❌❌❌
