Almost two -thirds of the Americans disapprove of Trump’s prices, with inflation a large concern: survey

Seven out of 10 Americans believe that President Donald Trump’s prices on international trade will increase American inflation, winning on the hope that they will increase manufacturing employment and will feed an disapproval of 64% in the way he manages the problem.

Even almost half of the Republicans – 47% in the ABC News / Washington Post / Ipsos survey published on Friday – said they thought the prices will have a negative impact on inflation. This increases to 75% among the self -employed, a swing group in national policy.

Prices are certainly a motion target. The administration has interrupted certain negotiations (although not on China).

And there is a perceived positive: 59% have said that they thought that the prices will have a positive impact on the creation of manufacturing jobs in the United States, including 90% of the Republicans and 60% of the self-employed. This, as well as price reduction, were some of the main promises of Trump’s campaign.

But – given the current state of play – the scale makes a new negative on a third factor: 56% in this survey, produced for ABC per Langer Research Associates with field work by IpsosThink that the treatment of prices by Trump will have a negative impact on American economic leadership in the world against 42% who see a positive impact.

Democrats, for their part, live up to prices. Nine out of 10 think they will have a negative impact on inflation (90%) and the economic leadership of the United States worldwide (89%), and almost unanimous at 96%of Trump management. Democrats are not sold on prices creating manufacturing jobs: 68% think they will do harm, no help.

Given fears of inflation, Trump’s overall rating for prices management is a wide of 30 percentage points under water, 34% to 64%. It is much worse than his deficit of 7 approval points on immigration management (as indicated here), demonstrating that public feeling is particularly thorny when economic well-being is at stake.

Indeed, in its own party, 25% of Republicans disappear the management of prices by Trump, just like 30% of the conservatives. And disapproval reached 48% in white men who are not trained and 47% of rural Americans, two of Trump’s main support groups.
