EVERYONE’S BROKE

President Donald Trump’s vow to fix America’s housing crunch is in tatters, with the share of non-owners who expect to buy a home falling to a record low. Just one in four non-owners thinks they’ll get on the property ladder within five years, according to a Gallup poll reported by Semafor—the worst figure logged in more than a decade. 28 percent think it could happen within 10 years, while 45 percent see no path to ownership at all. The early-April survey piles pressure on Trump, 79, with voters fretting over the price of fuel, groceries and a shaky jobs market. Although the White House had hailed cheaper mortgages in the spring, the war with Iran has since rattled any sense of stability. Now 67 percent of those polled say bricks-and-mortar is a poor bet—including 55 percent of Republicans and right-leaning independents, alongside 76 percent of Democrats.
