Half of all voters now blame Trump for the state of the economy after his tariff announcements this month, according to new polls.

A new CBS News/YouGov poll showed that Americans are increasingly critical of Trump’s handling of the economy, and that more people are blaming him than a month earlier. It surveyed 2,410 U.S. adults from April 8 to 11.

When asked whose policies are more responsible for the state of the economy, 54% said they believe Trump’s policies are more to blame. Only 21% said they believe Biden’s policies are to blame. 20% said both of their policies are equally to blame, while 5% said neither are to blame for the state of the economy.

This compares to a March CBS News poll, when 38% of respondents said they blamed Biden for inflation, while only 34% blamed Trump.

A poll from YouGov and The Economist also showed that more Americans are blaming Trump for the economy.

    Yep. Trump cultists absolutely can’t admit when they are objectively wrong, even as their small business crashes, their investments and retirement shrink or their spouse is deported.

    It is a serious personality flaw.
