Biden voters feel particularly strongly about
living in a place where gender affirming care is legal, while Trump
voters feel strongly about living in a place without firm gun
control laws
(NASDAQ: RDFN) —Nearly one of every five (17.6%) U.S. homeowners
and renters who plan to vote for Donald Trump in the upcoming
presidential election want to live in a place where abortion is
legal. That’s according to a new report from Redfin (redfin.com),
the technology-powered real estate brokerage.
The report is based on a Redfin-commissioned survey conducted by
Qualtrics in February 2024. The nationally representative survey
was fielded to 2,995 U.S. homeowners and renters, of whom 1,162
said they plan to vote for Donald Trump and 1,171 said they plan to
vote for Joe Biden. Redfin refers to these respondents as “Trump
voters” and "Biden voters” throughout the report. Respondents were
asked to rate their willingness to live in places with a range of
characteristics.
The majority of Trump voters either don’t want to live in a
place where abortion is legal (34.6%) or are indifferent
(47.9%).
More than half (58.4%) of respondents who plan to vote for Joe
Biden in the upcoming election want to live somewhere abortion is
legal, while 8.9% don’t want to and 32.7% are indifferent. When it
came to respondents as a whole—which includes people who said they
don’t plan to vote for either Biden or Trump—36.5% want to live
somewhere abortion is legal, 21.5% don’t want to, and 42% are
indifferent.
Roughly 1 in 4 Trump Voters Want to Live Somewhere With
Racial Diversity, Laws Ensuring Equality Based on Sexual
Orientation
Over one-quarter of Trump voters (28.7%) want to live in a place
where gender affirming care for children is fully legal, and just
under one-quarter (24.3%) want to live somewhere with laws ensuring
equality based on gender or sexual orientation. A similar share
(25.8%) want to live somewhere with racial diversity, while 20%
want to live in a place with laws allowing discussion of LGBTQ
topics in schools.
Biden voters were much more likely to say they want to live in
places with these characteristics.
Biden Voters Feel Strongly About Gender-Affirming Care, Trump
Voters Feel Strongly About Guns and Mail-In-Voting
Nearly three-quarters of Biden voters (71.5%) want to live in a
place where gender affirming care for children is fully
legal—making it the top “want to” answer choice among Biden voters.
Next came living in a place that has racial diversity (59.6%), is a
“sanctuary city” for migrants (59.2%) and has legal abortion
(58.4%).
Trump voters felt most strongly about gun control. Nearly
two-thirds (64%) don’t want to live in a place with strong gun
control laws. More than half don’t want to live in a place where
recreational weed is legal (53%) and 52.3% don’t want to live
somewhere that has easy access to vote-by-mail.
