A recent Gallup Poll has shown that real estate is no longer the preferred long-term investment for Americans, with a decline in the percentage of respondents favoring it from 45% to 35%. Gold has experienced an almost twofold increase in popularity, with 26% of respondents now choosing it as their preferred long-term investment.

The survey also revealed a decline in the appeal of crypto assets, with only 4% of respondents now favoring it compared to 8% in the previous year.
