Most Americans expect higher prices as a result of Trump’s tariffs, new poll finds

Washington – The United States confidence in President Donald Trump seems to be credible to strengthen the US economy, in a new survey, many people fear that the country is becoming a downturn and the cost of the president’s widespread and continuous tariffs will increase.

About half of our adults have said that Trump’s trade principles will increase “lots” prices and 3 more out of 10 people think that prices “may increase a bit”, the Associated Press-Nurses Center for Public Affairs Research Survey said.

About half of the American US economy is “extremely” or “very” concerned about the possibility of going into the recession within the next few months.

Although skepticism about tariffs is growing politely, it does not mean that the people are automatically rejecting its view in Trump or trade. However, warning can cause problems for the president who promised voters that he could quickly fix inflation.

Three months later in its second term, Trump’s economy and tariffs are being displayed as a possible weakness. The Republican President approves the way the president is conducting economy and trade negotiations. It is compatible with an AP-Narci survey conducted in March.

6 -year -old Mathew Wood said he was waiting to see how the tariffs would play, but he was worried.

“I am not a huge fan of it, especially in considering China and adjusting to both ends,” Wood says, who is a resident of Kentucky West Liberty and unemployed. “Personally, it has not yet affected me. However, usually, I don’t know how it is going to end, especially with the big countries involved.”

Nevertheless, Wood said that he had changed his registration by being distinguished from the Republican, stopping Trump’s attitude and billionaire adviser Elon Mask. Wood voted for Trump last year and said he was willing to give the President to give positive results on tariffs until the end of the year.

About half of the adults in the US, 52%, against the imposition of tariffs on all products brought to the United States from other countries. This has grown a bit since January, when a survey found that 46% was against tariffs. Running that short shift is basically appearing as an adult under the age of 30 who have never had an opinion about tariffs.

Trump’s supporter Jenis Manis (, 1) says Trump’s only criticism on tariffs was that he had given a partial 90 -day break for trade negotiations with other countries.

“In fact, I think he shouldn’t have suspended it,” said Deputy Manis of Retired Sheriff, Texas. “Because China is now trying to manipulate all these countries to go against us, where if he could play all the tariffs these countries would be strictly hurt. But oh, good, things happen.”

In the White House, Trump’s second term is not quite 5 days, but people around the country are bracing for possible obstacles on how they spend, working and survive. The US economy remains solid for the moment with moderate inflation and healthy 1.2% unemployment rate, yet consumer confidence is severely reduced.

Trump has used executive steps to rebuild the global economy. He has imposed several hundred billion dollars in a year for new import tax-even if some of them have been partially suspended, a full-scale trade war has been launched against the China and has promised to deal with dozens of other countries temporarily facing 10%tariffs with other countries. The financial markets are shaking with every twist and withdrawing from Trump’s tariff announcement.

Many Americans are not sure that this is the right approach. According to the survey, about 6 out of 10 people said that Trump had “gone too far” to impose new tariffs.

This year stocks have declined, when interest charges on US official bonds have raised in such a way that it can make it more expensive for mortgage, auto loans and debt pays for students. CEOs are removing their earning directions for investors and looking for discounts from Trump’s tariff, which hits allies like Canada and even Penguin-infected Islands.

Trump seemed to have recognized the pull from the tariff that Trump had highlighted the possibility of an agreement with China this week. Treasury Secretary Scott Besent also said in a close-dore speech that the situation with China was not “sustainable”.

About 6 US adults in the United States are “extremely” or “very” about the cost of grocery in the next few months, when the cost of about half a large purchase is extremely concerned for cars, cellphones or appliances. More than half they are extremely concerned about the efficiency of buying their preferred products – a sign of elasticity of the economy so far.

Retirement savings are sources of anxiety – about 4 out of 10 Americans say that saving their retirement is a “main source” of stress in their lives. However less – about 2 out of 10 – identify the stock market as a major source of anxiety.

“This whole duty war is not just for the American people, but for everyone worldwide,” Nicole Jones, 32 said. “It’s revenge – and everyone is losing it.”

Florida’s Engloud, a resident, voted for the then Vice President Kamala Harris last year, who replaced the current President Joe Biden as a Democratic nominee. Jones has not been thinking too much recently to the tariff, and now as a professional therapy student, he is also worried about losing his financial assistance and facing high amounts of educational debt.

“Things are more expensive for us,” he said.

And most Americans still think the national economy is weak.

The difference is the Republicans – who thought the economy was in a bad state while the president of the biden – now feeling more optimistic. However, Democrats have become more shameless about the financial future of the country.

“It was not all sunshine and rainbow, but we were doing well,” Jones said about the economy before Trump’s policy came into effect.
