Trump's tariffs are stressing Americans out, according to a new poll
President Trump’s tariffs are making Americans more stressed and causing them to rethink their spending plans, according to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll.
Earlier this month, Trump announced sweeping tariffs on imports from nearly every foreign country. Most of those are currently on pause, but high rates on some of America’s most important trading partners — including a whopping 145% levy on goods from China — are still in effect.
In a survey of 1,597 adults conducted from April 25 to 28, 55% of respondents said that the president’s tariff plan is making them feel more stress, and 59% said they are more anxious about their finances than they were a year ago.
Americans are already feeling the strain of elevated prices after years of stubbornly high inflation, and most expect Trump’s tariffs to only make things worse. More than two-thirds of respondents said the tariffs will make things more expensive for them personally. Between current high prices and concerns that tariffs will drive them up even further, nearly three-quarters (73%) said they are either somewhat or very worried about being able to afford groceries.
