Nearly 90% of Americans expect tariffs to raise prices, Gallup poll finds
CBSN
As President Trump approaches his 100-day mark as president, Americans voters are souring on his handling of the economy.
New polls from Gallup and CBS News indicate that a large swath of Americans disapproves of Mr. Trump's tariffs — a cornerstone of his economic agenda. A majority say tariffs will drive up prices and end up costing more money than they generate, according to a new Gallup poll conducted April 2 to April 15.
The Trump administration has rolled out tariffs in fits and starts over the last few months, creating ongoing market volatility and sparking fears of a U.S. recession. So-called reciprocal tariffs against other countries are on pause for 90 days, with the exception of China, while tariffs on steel, aluminum, imported vehicles and other goods have already taken effect.
