Q1. Our previous poll asked what were the two main reasons Donald Trump's share of the vote improved 4 pts from 2020 to 2024.

Inflation and immigration under Biden/Harris were by far the top 2 vote getters, with inflation edging immigration for the top spot. Today's poll asks about Trump policy proposals and their potential impact on inflation.

Among Trump's most consistent economic positions during the campaign was substantially higher tariffs.

What do you think the outcome will be with regard to tariffs and inflation?
