President Trump Hit with Devastating Poll

President Donald Trump’s latest economic showdown just hit a wall — and this time, the numbers aren’t on his side.

Just hours after the Supreme Court struck down his sweeping global tariff plan, a new YouGov poll found that most Americans are applauding the decision. The survey of 1,931 U.S. adults shows 60 percent approve of the Court’s ruling, a sharp rebuke to the president’s signature trade strategy.

The 6-3 decision handed down Friday found that Trump overstepped his authority by imposing broad global tariffs without congressional approval. In a notable twist, conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch — appointed by Trump himself — sided with the majority in a concurring opinion that emphasized the importance of Congress in the legislative process.

“Yes, legislating can be hard and take time,” Gorsuch wrote. “But the deliberative nature of the legislative process was the whole point of its design.”

That message appears to have resonated beyond the marble steps of the Court.

According to the YouGov data, 66 percent of Americans say Trump’s tariffs have made their lives more expensive. Only 5 percent believe the policies lowered costs, while 16 percent say they’ve seen no change.

The affordability issue is shaping up to be a major flashpoint ahead of the midterms. A recent survey from The New York Times and Siena College found that most Americans believe traditional middle-class milestones — buying a home, paying for healthcare, saving for retirement — are slipping further out of reach.

Meanwhile, a report from JPMorgan Chase concluded that mid-size U.S. companies have largely passed tariff-related costs directly onto consumers.

Despite the ruling, Trump wasted no time firing back. He blasted the justices who ruled against him as “lap dogs” and a “disgrace to our nation,” accusing them of betraying the Constitution.

Then came the escalation.

Within hours of the decision, Trump took to Truth Social to announce a new 10 percent global tariff “effective almost immediately,” signaling he has no intention of backing down.

“It is my Great Honor to have just signed, from the Oval Office, a Global 10% Tariff on all Countries,” he wrote.

On Wall Street, traders reacted quickly. Markets initially rallied after the ruling, reflecting relief over the Court’s limits on executive power in trade policy.

But the broader political picture is far murkier.

With inflation and cost-of-living pressures dominating voter concerns, Trump’s tariff crusade is becoming a high-stakes gamble. The Court may have ruled. The markets may have reacted. Now, the real verdict could be coming from voters.
