Poll Shows Americans Shifting Blame to Trump for Economic Turmoil

Amid a tumultuous economic landscape caused by his aggressive tariff policies, President Trump continues to enjoy strong support from Republican voters, with a CBS News/YouGov poll revealing that 91% of Republicans believe he has a plan. However, a significant portion of the general public, including 54% of Americans, now attribute economic struggles to Trump's policies, which have raised concerns over rising consumer prices. Despite a recent pause on some tariffs, analysts warn that Americans will soon feel the financial impact, with potential increases in prices for everyday items such as electronics and groceries, estimated to add $4,400 annually to household costs. Montana's congressional delegation remains steadfast in their defense of Trump's trade strategy, emphasizing the need for American independence in various sectors. Nevertheless, skepticism persists among economists who argue that Trump's tariffs may lead to economic instability, with Goldman Sachs predicting a 45% chance of recession. The political ramifications of these policies could pose challenges for Trump as voter sentiment shifts amidst growing economic anxiety.
