Summary

A new Harris Poll shows growing concern among Americans about Trump’s tariff policies, with 72% now worried compared to 61% in January.

Despite Trump’s claim that tariffs are “pouring money” into the country, 66% believe the U.S. economy will take years to recover from these measures.

The poll reveals a partisan divide: 90% of Democrats and 57% of Republicans express concern about tariffs.

Trump has already imposed additional tariffs on Chinese imports and all steel and aluminum, while threatening “reciprocal” tariffs on global imports.

    What’s worse is how this will-he-won’t-he of making tariffs permanent and using them is causing businesses to also not import needed and desired products for fear that they could have a tariff removed at which point we have effectively purchased something for 25% more that we then can’t explain to the end consumer. People think it’s an on-off, but when products were purchased and brought in with a tariff that may no longer be effective it just makes for bad business.
