Americans want Trump's focus more on prices, not tariffs; most approve of deportation efforts — CBS News poll

After a week that brought tough economic news and polling showing Americans' views of the economy are still sour, most say President Trump has focused too much on tariffs — which they believe will end up raising prices — and not enough on lowering prices. 

This has Americans collectively skeptical right now about the ability of Mr. Trump's policies to make them financially better off, a sentiment that was key to the success of his 2024 campaign.

Yet that's balanced out for Mr. Trump today by continued majority approval on immigration and on his deportation program, specifically. That comes especially — but not exclusively — from his Republican base, many of whom say that's just as important as the economy in their evaluations.
