They appear problems with popular humor for President Donald Trump. According to a survey released yesterday by The Wall Street Journal, most voters oppose the tariffs of the tycoon and disapprove of their inflation management. Specifically, the rejection reaches 54 % of those consulted, 12 percentage points more than those who support their plans. In concrete, according to the report of the New York morning, three quarters of the voters affirm that the tariffs will increase the prices of the products they buy, compared to the 68 % who affirmed it in January. The important of this survey is that it is the first known after the so -called “Liberation Day” of the Republican leader, announced at the end of the week that happened. So far the discomfort of many entrepreneurs was known with the measures of the president, to whom they have altered the global trade, but there was no data on the climate among the voters. The Journal survey was carried out from March 27 to April 1, when Trump imposed new tariffs on China and certain products from Canada, Mexico and other countries, but before the tariff And they caused a phenomenal loss of value in the stock market, the largest since the Covid pandemic. The survey shows that citizens now question Trump’s promises, especially because of the price increase, the same problem that tormented the Democrats in last year’s elections and was one of the causes of their defeat before the tycoon. The rejection of the people represents a substantial change with respect to the end of October, when the voters, with a margin of 10 points, were in favor of the economic plans of the tycoon. According to the numbers provided by the study of the Wall Street Journal, the expansive impulse to the tariffs has contributed to making the confidence of the electorate into skepticism. The low support for levies to imported products during the last year has become disapproval: 54% opposes taxes on foreign goods, 12 percentage points more than those who support their plans. The survey suggests that a president who promised that “tariffs seek to enrich the United States” faces the discomfort of their economic leadership, especially for inflation. For 15 percentage points, more voters have a negative opinion on Trump’s management in that area than a positive. The negative opinions about their economic management exceed the positive ones in 8 points. This represents a substantial change compared to the end of October, when the voters, by a margin of 10 points, were in favor of Trump’s economic plans. The negative opinion on tariffs contrasts with previous journal surveys, which showed a receptive attitude of voters. Both in January and August, before Trump assumed the position and his tariff program, the surveys of the New York newspaper revealed a moderate support of import tariffs as a general proposal. About 93 % who supported him in November now gives him a positive evaluation of his management. Most approve their immigration management and border security. Among all voters, 46% approves the general performance of the president and 51% disapproves, a slight deterioration with respect to January, when the opinions on Trump’s performance were divided. “The US voters give a little margin to the president at the beginning,” said John Anzalone, a democratic poll Fabrizio “They can be very concerned about their economic policy and tariffs, and also say that they want own commercial barriers and incite manufacturers to produce more goods in the United States. About 35% say that short -term difficulties will bring long -term economic benefits, and additional 13% foresee economic benefits with few difficulties. These two groups match 48% who say Trump will cause problems with few economic profits. The voters have a negative impression of two of Trump’s closest allies, vice president JD Vance and the executive director of Tesla, Elon Musk, who leads the Trump budget cut initiative. 50% distrust of Vance with 43% that supports it. Meanwhile, 53% have an unfavorable opinion of Musk.
