A new CBS poll brings bad news for President Donald Trump as 75 per cent of 2,410 US adults said that Trump's new tariffs would increase prices in the short term. Trump has paused the Liberation Day tariffs for all countries except China but the global economy took a historic blow and while the reciprocal tariffs are paused, the baseline 10% tariffs remain in place. In the long term, 48 per cent said prices would be higher, compared to 22 per cent who said there would be no impact or they were unsure and 30 per cent who predicted prices would fall.
Most Americans (49 per cent) in the poll said that Trump's policies were making them financially worse off than they were in March (42 per cent)
CNN data guru Harry Enten broke down the numbers and said this is the worst poll that Trump has received in his second term, and 54 per cent said Trump is responsible for the economic downturn compared to 21 per cent who still fault Biden.
“Donald Trump may try to blame Joe Biden, and maybe that was working a month ago, but since the trade war began, it’s not working anymore,” Enten explained. “Americans are not buying what Donald Trump is selling them.”
“He’s underwater for the first time,” Enten said, pointing to a drop in Trump’s approval rating, which has slipped from +6 in February to -6 this week. “The trend line is so important here, and it looks like the American people are turning against Donald Trump,” Enten added.
Another poll, TIPP Insights poll conducted for the League of American Workers, released Sunday, showed that 50 per cent of registered voters disapprove of the job Trump is doing as president, compared with 43 per cent who approve.
Nate Silver on Donald Trump's present approval rate
Nate Silver collated the data of the CBS poll and the TIPP poll and said that Trump has hit a new low in his second term. "Donald Trump begins the week with 45.5 percent approval and 50.9 percent disapproval in the Silver Bulletin average. In terms of net approval, that’s a new low for his second term," Nate wrote on his bulletin.
"Why the drop? Well pretty much every post-Liberation Day poll shows Trump with a lower approval rating than he had before his tariff announcements. The latest CBS/YouGov poll has Trump 6 points underwater — a 6 point decrease in net approval from the last CBS/YouGov poll. And yesterday’s TIPP poll gave Trump a net approval of -7. He sat at -1 and -5 in their previous two polls. -EMD, 4/14/25," Nate concluded.
