Half of all voters now blame Trump for the state of the economy after his tariff announcements this month, according to new polls.

A new CBS News/YouGov poll showed that Americans are increasingly critical of Trump’s handling of the economy, and that more people are blaming him than a month earlier. It surveyed 2,410 U.S. adults from April 8 to 11.

When asked whose policies are more responsible for the state of the economy, 54% said they believe Trump’s policies are more to blame. Only 21% said they believe Biden’s policies are to blame. 20% said both of their policies are equally to blame, while 5% said neither are to blame for the state of the economy.

This compares to a March CBS News poll, when 38% of respondents said they blamed Biden for inflation, while only 34% blamed Trump.

A poll from YouGov and The Economist also showed that more Americans are blaming Trump for the economy.
