Most say the administration is focused too much on tariffs, and by contrast, is not focused enough on lowering prices.

This has Americans collectively skeptical right now about the ability of Mr. Trump 's policies to make them financially better off, a sentiment that was key to the success of his election.

But that's balanced out by continued majority approval on and on his deportation program, specifically.

Majorities of Republicans would have their members push back on Mr. Trump if they disagree. This CBS News / YouGov survey was conducted with a nationally representative sample of 2,609 U.S. adults interviewed between March 27-28, 2025 . The sample was weighted to be representative of adults nationwide according to gender, age, race, and education, based on the U.S. Census American Community Survey and Current Population Survey , as well as 2024 presidential vote. The margin of error is 2.3 points..
