A recent Wall Street Journal poll shows a significant shift in public opinion regarding Donald Trump's economic policies. Initially, Americans held a favorable view of his plans. However, the implementation of tariffs has led to widespread disapproval.
Specifically, 54% of voters now oppose Trump's tariffs, a 12-point increase compared to those who support them. The poll also highlights growing concerns about rising prices due to these tariffs; three-quarters of voters believe tariffs will inflate consumer costs, up from 68% in January.
The poll clearly indicates a decline in public trust in Trump's economic approach, primarily fueled by the negative perceptions of his tariff policies.
