Summary
A new YouGov poll reveals widespread disapproval of President Trump’s recent tariff policies, with 51% of Americans viewing them as “the largest peacetime tax hike in U.S. history.”
The survey shows 50% disapprove of Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs announced April 2nd, which imposed a baseline 10% levy on all imports with additional tariffs on specific countries.
Trump escalated tensions by threatening China with 50% additional tariffs if they don’t withdraw their retaliatory measures.
Even Ted Cruz expressed concern, calling tariffs “a tax on consumers.”
This is far from “widepread disapproval”. This is about the same distribution that brought that loony into the White House - about half the population.
If 51% disapprove, 49% are still too dumb or numb. We need more, much more pain to fix that.
You need a committed, organized 3-5%.
