Recent polling indicates that a substantial majority of Americans believe that President Trump’s tariffs will lead to increased consumer prices. According to an AP-NORC poll, three-quarters of the public expect tariffs to raise prices, with many expressing disapproval of the economic impact of these policies. Local businesses have reported concerns that the tariffs could decrease demand and raise prices, particularly noted by companies in Ohio as per a Cleveland Fed survey. Amidst fears of inflation and a potential recession, Americans are increasingly wary of the ongoing tariff situation, with many considering it a losing scenario.
