More Americans want tariffs on foreign goods to decrease than increase according to a new YouGov poll.

Summary

A new YouGov poll reveals widespread disapproval of President Trump’s recent tariff policies, with 51% of Americans viewing them as “the largest peacetime tax hike in U.S. history.”

The survey shows 50% disapprove of Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs announced April 2nd, which imposed a baseline 10% levy on all imports with additional tariffs on specific countries.

Trump escalated tensions by threatening China with 50% additional tariffs if they don’t withdraw their retaliatory measures.

Even Ted Cruz expressed concern, calling tariffs “a tax on consumers.”
