Americans are increasingly becoming weary of President Trump's tariff policies as economic blowback looms.
  • Trump’s tariffs are facing opposition at home, especially from young adults, non-college voters, individuals earning less than $50,000 per year, and Hispanics.
  • A CNN/SSRS poll released on March 12 found that 61% of Americans, and 78% of young adults, disapprove of the way Trump is handling tariffs.
  • Although Americans favor higher tariffs on China, they oppose imposing them on longtime friends and allies.
