Exclusive: 90% of Democrats, 57% of Republicans are worried about tariffs, with similar concerns about recession

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.
