Even fewer (27%) voters say President Trump's tariffs have been good for the economy, while 64% say they have been bad. That net of -37 ties the previous low set in July.
On both questions, while majorities of Trump-policy voters have a favorable impression, Traditional GOP voters disagree. Just 36% of Traditional GOP voters approve of the president on tariffs, and a mere 26% say tariffs have been good for the economy.
There is overwhelming agreement that the tariffs have caused prices on consumer goods to Go Up. Seven-in-10 voters (69%) hold this opinion, including 56% of Republicans. Another 12% say the tariffs have had No Impact, and 10% say tariffs have caused prices to Go Down. A majority of voters have always said that tariffs cause prices to go up, though early on voters were more likely to see that as a temporary setback that would end well.
