Most Americans Skeptical About Tariffs

Gallup: “Americans are widely skeptical about the benefits of the recent tariffs the Trump administration has imposed on the United States’ trading partners, with majorities believing they will ultimately cost the U.S. more money than they generate — in the short term (70%) as well as the long run (62%).”

“Most U.S. adults, 89%, think the tariffs are likely to result in higher prices on the products they buy, while the public is evenly divided over the likelihood that the tariffs will bring more manufacturing jobs to the U.S. Americans have little appetite for long-term disruption to the U.S. economy before they see any economic benefits from the higher tariffs.”
