The Affordable Housing Initiative and the anti-homophobia criminal standard set out to win on February 9. The 2nd Tamedia poll predicts a majority of more or less two thirds of yes for the two objects submitted to the Swiss people.
Thus, the popular initiative of ASLOCA for affordable housing collects 60% of favorable opinions, against 37% of no and 3% who do not know, indicates the 2nd poll of Tamedia published Wednesday.
Knowing that an initiative generally loses support as the campaign progresses, it could still have sufficient reserve to pass the course on February 9. Since the last Tamedia poll on December 27, the yes side has lost 3 percentage points and the no side has gained 5 percentage points.
Unsurprisingly, the text reaches rates close to 90% yes in the pink-green camp (PS: 89% yes, Greens: 90%). The rejection is marked on the right with 61% of no to the PLR and 56% to the UDC.
The Liberals are in the yes camp with 64%. As for the PDC electorate, we do not know which side it is leaning since the yes and no camps are tied with 50%.
The ASLOCA initiative has received more support in French-speaking Switzerland and Ticino than in German-speaking Switzerland. Among German speakers, 56% say yes to the initiative. In French-speaking Switzerland, on the other hand, the share of the yes vote is 67% and that of the Italian speakers 69%.
The investigators also expect a city-country divide. The initiative collects 69% of yes in town against only 54% in the countryside. The percentage of yes among women is also higher, 67%, than among men, 52%
homophobia
Regarding the criminal standard against homophobia fought in a UDF referendum, Tamedia’s poll sees it pass the popular milestone at 66%, at the same level as in the last poll in December.

Almost 30% of those surveyed said no while 4% did not yet have an opinion. The text received less support among men than among women. Older people say no more often than younger people. City dwellers are also more inclined to support the norm for punishing homophobic acts and words than rural dwellers.
The SVP electorate is divided, according to this poll: 54% of them reject this new standard while the signatures of the referendum were collected with the support of the Young SVP. 42% are in favor. With the PS and Greens, the new standard receives the most approval with 88%.
Tamedia’s survey was carried out from January 9 to 11 among 12,096 people across Switzerland. The margin of error is plus or minus 1.5%.
