Exclusive: a Harris poll raises questions about the popularity of one of Trump’s key economic policy platforms
Summary
A Harris poll reveals that 69% of Americans believe Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs would increase consumer costs, with many planning purchases ahead of his inauguration to avoid price hikes.
Trump has championed tariffs as a key policy to boost domestic manufacturing, but economists and corporate leaders warn costs will be passed to consumers, potentially adding $2,600 annually to household expenses.
While Republicans are more supportive of tariffs, only 51% think they will benefit the economy.
The poll highlights widespread concern over tariffs’ economic impact, especially amid lingering inflation and financial uncertainty.
You're viewing a single thread.
There are 258 million adults in the USA. Almost 77 million people voted for Trump. Which is about 30%.
I think we can all deduce which 1/3 of Americans are too fucking dumb to understand Trump's tariffs are a bad idea.
I'm guessing a third are too fucking stupid to know what a third is
But 1/4 has to be bigger since 4 is more than 3!
I'm guessing you already know this... but that is literally the reason why A&W's 1/3lb burger (launched to compete with McDonalds' 1/4 pounder) failed lol
They should have called it the 2/6th as 2>1 and 6>4!
What about the rest who were too dumb to vote at all and got Trump as a free gift?
I'm still amazed the party that preaches tax cuts, are vocally adding taxes, and they still got votes.
