North Carolina voters are deeply concerned about inflation, with over half (54%) indicating that they are “very concerned.” Further, most believe tariffs will make the cost of everyday goods even more expensive.
Other findings include:
- Four-in-five NC voters (71%) expect the cost of goods they purchase to increase because of tariffs, including two-in-three Republicans (66%) and three-in-four Independents (72%).
- Three-in-four North Carolina voters (70%) say they are trying to spend less money because of tariffs.
- A majority (54%) of NC voters believe that American consumers will be harmed the most by tariffs and/or a resulting trade war. And, a majority of Republicans (60%) believe American consumers, businesses, and/or farmers will be hurt the most.
Additional survey results and crosstabs on the views of North Carolina voters on tariffs will be released in the coming days.
