Poll: Two-Thirds of Americans Expect Trump Tariffs to Hike Prices
A Harris Poll reveals that two-thirds of Americans believe Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs will increase consumer prices, a concern shared across party lines. The majority anticipate companies passing tariff costs onto consumers, leading to higher prices for goods and impacting household budgets. Many are already preemptively adjusting their spending habits in anticipation of these price increases. This widespread apprehension casts doubt on the popularity of Trump’s tariff policy platform, despite his claims that tariffs are economically beneficial.
