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.

    having said that, I have seen more life in the traditional conservative republican of late ( @underwater@sh.itjust.works is an example) - even a momentary recognition of ideological failure on their part and a willingness to align with more progressive ideas. I have massive differences with so many conservative viewpoints, but they are not maga, have been thoughtful in their approach and, right now, I will take any productive and functional alliance I can get.

    Just for the record, all those sorts of folks are actually classical liberals who are confused about labels/have fallen for the conservatives’ whitewashing of their ideology. Conservatism has always been about hierarchy and autocracy, which makes Trump the truest conservative the US has ever seen.
