Exclusive survey finds negative economic impacts felt across party lines as White House doubles down on tariffs
Seven in 10 Americans say Donald Trump’s tariffs have led to them paying higher prices, according to an exclusive new poll for the Guardian.
The Harris Poll survey presents Republicans with a major problem in the battle for the upcoming midterm elections. The majority of all voters (72%) believe Trump’s tariffs have had a negative rather than a positive impact and 67% said tariffs aren’t the right solution for improving the economy.
Yet Trump has made clear he wants to press ahead with more tariffs even after a supreme court ruling curbed many of the levies he introduced last year.
As is traditional to point out with these polls: 30% of Americans are literally too stupid to function and entirely rely on Fox News to think for them.
Ah yes, the Free Thinkers™©® that only ever seem to think exactly what Fox news tells them to think.
Nah, Fox is too woke for a lot of them. They’ve switched to Newsmax or OAN.
