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.”
Those survey results look like the election results.
The GOP won’t actually feel the burn until the low information voters start getting laid off and start laying evening higher prices in stores. It’s too early for that to happen, but it will happen if Trump stays the course.
Again, polls don’t matter to a budding fascist dictator and party.
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.
We need more, much more pain to fix that.
You need a committed, organized 3-5%.

Polling doesn’t matter if he doesn’t plan on leaving office.
Let’s hope voting still matters.
We’ll see if it matters during the midterms.
Trump doesn’t care, he doesn’t have to face another election again. Oh, he’s still planning on being President for the rest of his life, but not planning on having to win another election to do it…
Polls don’t matter to Trump. Only power matters.
