Poll data released by Bloomberg showed that more than half of Americans said that the tariffs imposed by US President Trump on other countries have had a negative impact on their family finances.
The survey data showed that “a majority (56%) of adult Americans believe their household would be better off financially if Trump’s tariffs were not implemented.”
Survey data showed that about 52% of respondents believed that the economic benefits promised by the government could not offset the economic losses, and about 49% of respondents believed that the imposition of tariffs would have a negative impact on the US economy.
According to the agency, 69% of American residents believe that the levy will lead to an increase in the prices of daily necessities. The report pointed out that Trump himself has also foreseen such a consequence. He said that American children may only get “two dolls” instead of the 30 in the past because the price of the dolls will be “a few dollars more expensive.”
The survey was conducted between May 8 and May 10, with 2,100 adult Americans participating. The report said the survey had a margin of error of ±2.5%.
It is worth mentioning that on May 23, the US President announced a 50% tariff on goods produced in Europe. He said that the measure would force European companies to move their production bases to the United States.
