Fox News Poll: Voters feel good about economy, say tariffs will hurt

Nearly half of voters rate the economy positively — and they credit Donald Trump.

Forty-seven percent say the economy is in excellent or good condition, according to the latest Fox News Poll. In the last 18 years, that number has only been higher twice (both times were under the Trump administration in 2018). In addition, 16 percent say the economy is in excellent shape — one point off the record of 17 percent in January 2018. …

By an 11-point margin, voters think increased tariffs on Chinese imports will do more to hurt the economy than help it. That may be a reason why, when asked who would do a better job as president protecting America’s interests with China, more say former vice president and Democratic presidential frontrunner Joe Biden (42 percent) than Trump (38 percent).
