Housing Slips Down List Of Public's Concerns

Housing has dropped down the list of public priorities following a surge in concern about defence, terrorism and foreign affairs.  The latest monthly Issues Index by polling company Ipsos Mori shows housing has dropped from fourth to seventh in the rankings of issues the public is most concerned about. The results show 16% in December considered housing a ‘most important’ issue, five percentage points down on the 21% for November. Concern about housing had increased substantially in the months of October and November, with 20% and 21% of the public citing it as a ‘most important’ concern in those two months respectively, the highest figure for 41 years.  Read more on the Ipsos Mori website.
