Georgia voters are worried about Donald Trump’s tariffs, poll finds
A new Morning Consult poll of Georgia voters offers a bleak view of President Donald Trump’s tariff policy — and a potential warning shot to Republicans embracing the strategy ahead of next year’s election.
The top line: more than two-thirds of Georgia voters believe tariffs will jack up prices on everyday items. A majority are already cutting back on spending, avoiding big purchases or stocking up before price hikes hit.
Just one-in-four voters say that tariffs should remain as a permanent part of the U.S. economy, including fewer than a third of Republicans. Nearly half say they’re more likely to vote for a member of Congress who opposes new tariffs, including a third of GOP voters.
