The survey has an error margin of ± 2.4 percentage points. Americans support price increases of rates according to CBS News/YouGOV survey, three out of four Americans (75%) believe that Trump’s new rates will increase prices in short-term prices, with almost half (48%) expecting inflationary long-term bonds. Consumers of Inflation Moier now feel that Trump’s tariff policies are doing their financially harm rather than helping. Trump’s ratings on inflation, and the poll of the poll show that declining approval assessments for Trump’s handling of important economic issues: Economy: 44% approve, 56% approves inflation: 40% approves, 60% approves the overall approval of the work: 47% approved, 53% is rejected while he is even higher than highlights rejected. Perception shift: It is that Trump’s economy now says a majority (54%) that the current state of the economy is mainly due to Trump’s policy, not Biden’s (21%). An even larger group (75%) allocates Trump at least partial responsibility for the state of the economy. Mixed views on rates and trading strategy are Americans skeptical of the permanence of Trump’s rates. 59% think rates are a negotiating tactic and will eventually be removed. 41% believe that Trump will hold the rates permanently. There is a split on intent to execution: 51% support Trump’s trading goals, but 63% take out its approach. The majority are opposed to new rates, despite the fact that Trump’s goals were understood, 58% of Americans are the new rates, while only 42% are in favor. Public divides on the rates’ impact on work 49% think that rates will add manufacturing opportunities. 25% expect job losses. 26% predict no impact. Support for work growth of rates is largely driven by Republicans. Who benefits from rates? Not the middle class, the public believes overwhelmingly that the rich (74%) and large companies (71%) will benefit the most. Only 42% believe that the middle or working class will see profits. Prospects worsen for US economic confidence in the US economy, still eroding: Only 17% think the economy will be steady the following year. 33% now expect a recession. The volatility of the market during the survey period also sent the sentiment that Trump’s policy pushed the market downwards. Republicans show patience, Democrats do not, while Republicans and independents say that Trump’s trade policies need more time to judge, Democrats are more likely to believe that the impact can already be assessed – and it is mostly negative.
