A new Harris/Guardian survey finds 69 percent of respondents understand that convicted felon President-Elect Trump’s plan to implement tariffs will inflict higher prices on Americans. By partisanship, 79 percent of Dem and 68 percent of independent respondents get it, with of course a lower number – but still a majority at 59 percent – of Republicans realizing what’s about to happen.
Overall nearly the same percentage, 62 percent, of respondents said that tariffs will have a significant effect on what they can afford in 2025. Another 44 percent said they’re making big purchases now so they don’t have to pay more when the second Trump Reich comes to power.
