Poll: Americans Prioritize Lower Prices Over Tariffs

A recent CBS News poll indicates a significant portion of Americans want the Trump administration to focus more on lowering prices and less on tariffs. The poll surveyed a representative sample of adults across the United States, revealing a growing concern about the cost of goods and services. Many respondents expressed that tariffs, while intended to protect American industries, are ultimately contributing to higher prices for consumers.

In addition to economic concerns, the poll addressed the controversy surrounding Trump administration officials reportedly discussing U.S. military plans on the Signal messaging app. A majority of respondents viewed this as a serious matter, raising questions about national security and the appropriate use of communication channels by government officials. The poll results suggest a demand for greater transparency and accountability from the administration.

The findings highlight a complex political landscape where economic anxieties and concerns about government conduct are intertwined. The Trump administration faces the challenge of addressing both economic issues and maintaining public trust amid ongoing scrutiny.
