Gallup Poll: Real Estate and Gold Still Preferred as Long-Term Investments in US

A recent Gallup poll has given insight into the results of the Trump administration’s policies on the concept of investment and the best long-term instruments. The poll, which consulted 1,006 U.S citizens about their investment preferences during early April, found that real estate remains the preferred option for investing with a long-term mindset, while gold registered a distant second place.

Gallup revealed that 37% of the adults consider real estate as the best long-term investment option, rising marginally from the 36% the option reached last year. Meanwhile, stocks, which were in second place last year with 22%, fell significantly, with only 16% of the polled preferring it.

Instead, gold rose to the second place, with 23% of the consulted choosing it over other options. Analysts indicate this is likely due to the unstable macroeconomic conditions and the rally that the precious metal has been experiencing since January, registering several record highs in its prices.
