18 percent in new survey say they’ve had political disagreement with neighbor

Nearly 1 in 5 people people said they’ve had a political disagreement with a neighbor, according to a survey released Wednesday. 

The poll, released by real estate firm Redfin, found that 18.7 percent of respondents had a disagreement with their neighbors over politics. When split by gender, more men had disagreements on the topic than women, 27.1 percent to 13.4 percent. 

Of those polled, 23.1 percent said they are voting for the former President Trump. Another 19.5 percent said they are casting a ballot for Vice President Harris. 

The younger generation was the most likely to disagree over politics, the survey found. Among Gen Z respondents, 26.4 percent said they had a disagreement with a neighbor when talking about politics. Millennials were second at 23.5 percent, Gen X was at 14.3 percent and baby boomers were at 13.6 percent. 

Almost 12 percent of the survey respondents said they had a disagreement with a neighbor over racial issues. Men were slightly more likely to say they’d had such a disagreement than women, 15.3 percent to 9.5 percent.

The survey also found that 30.4 percent of respondents said they “regularly” talked about politics with their neighbors, with men (40.9 percent) doing it at a higher frequency than women (24 percent). 

Among Trump voters, 39 percent “regularly” discuss politics with their neighbors, compared to 32.7 percent for Harris voters. 

The Redfin-commissioned poll was conducted by Ipsos between Sept. 11-25 among 1,802 homeowners and renters aged 18-65.
