CNBC's All-America Economic Survey for the second quarter of 2026 found the cost of housing is an important issue, particularly among the young voters that both parties are hoping to court during the months leading to the 2026 midterm elections.
According to the survey participants interviewed between July 8th and 12th, the costs of housing and healthcare were tied for the fourth-most important issue facing the country right now. These costs trailed the cost of food and groceries, the protection of democracy, and immigration and border security issues."
