CNN's Harry Enten reported that President Trump's tariffs have garnered poor poll numbers, with only 38% support and 51% opposition. This move has prompted significant concern and criticism, including Trump's recognition of possible short-term consumer pain. Enten emphasized that while Trump has had popular policies, tariffs are not one of them, suggesting Trump should reconsider his focus on tariffs heading into the future. Public opinion indicates that the electorate prioritizes issues like immigration and the economy over tariffs.
HARRY ENTEN: Trump's tariffs on Canada, China, Mexico. Look at this. Just 38% support. You don't have to be a mathematical genius to figure out that 51% oppose is larger than the 38% support.
HARRY ENTEN: When you ask it specifically like this about the three countries, or if you ask it more vaguely about tariffs overall, they simply put, do not like it, Mr. Berman.
HARRY ENTEN: The American folks are opposed to these tariffs. When you ask it specifically like this about the three countries, or if you ask it more vaguely about tariffs overall, they simply put, do not like it, Mr. Berman.
HARRY ENTEN: Tariffs ain't it, my dear friend. Tariffs ain't it. Trump should focus on tariffs in November of 2024.
