After months of economic anxiety and global trade tension, a major shift just happened — and voters are noticing.
According to a brand-new Harvard CAPS/Harris poll, more Americans now believe the U.S. is on the right track, and it all seems to follow one big move: President Trump’srollback of key tariffs.
📊 Key numbers you need to know:
42% of Americans say the country is headed in the right direction (up from 37%).
51% think the economy is strong.
Trump’s approval rating is up to 47%, with major support among Republicans.
60% of voters believe Trump can successfully seal a long-term trade deal with China.
So what changed?
Trump recently removed tariffs that were hurting U.S. trade — especially with the UK and China.
A new deal with the UK eliminates many taxes on imports and exports.
Talks with China are now moving toward a long-term solution that could stabilize global markets.
Even critics admit: this move might have corrected one of his biggest economic missteps.
But not everyone’s convinced.
57% of voters still think Trump’s earlier tariff policies damaged the economy.
Inflation concerns remain — 73% of Americans fear rising prices, and 57% oppose the return of any new tariffs.
Still, there’s a noticeable change in the air. Americans seem to be regaining hope — especially as job markets improve and trade tensions ease.
