Summary
A new Harris Poll shows growing concern among Americans about Trump’s tariff policies, with 72% now worried compared to 61% in January.
Despite Trump’s claim that tariffs are “pouring money” into the country, 66% believe the U.S. economy will take years to recover from these measures.
The poll reveals a partisan divide: 90% of Democrats and 57% of Republicans express concern about tariffs.
Trump has already imposed additional tariffs on Chinese imports and all steel and aluminum, while threatening “reciprocal” tariffs on global imports.
And once prices are increased, removing tarrifs won’t make them go down again, because why would companies forego profit when consumers are used to those prices?
