According to a joint poll by ABC/The Washington Post/Ipsos, about two-thirds of Americans without home ownership believe they are unable to afford a home in the foreseeable future; nearly half of Americans say they are burdened with "a lot" or "some" debt. More than half of Americans say they find it "difficult to afford" healthcare, a week's vacation, or a new car. Americans are pessimistic about the economy, although there has been a slight easing of sentiment. Nearly half said the economy has worsened since Trump began his second term; one-third said their current standard of living is worse than it was in January 2025. Only a narrow majority of 53% said their income "barely covers" their current standard of living. This uncertainty is also reflected in their general views on overall spending power and future home-buying prospects.
