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.
Obligatory “you do what’s right for you,” but just sayin’, be very careful with this strategy. I know people who panic sold in 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic out of fear and then missed out on the recovery. Sold low, bought high. Set them back 20 years.
Let us know when they panic sell this next time around.
