Trump's tariffs have sparked strong discontent in polls, and the US Republican Party is betting on a tax cut bill.

Economic anxiety seems to be shifting the political situation in a direction unfavorable to Trump and the Republican Party; in a recent survey by The Economist/YouGov, 50% of respondents said that the economic situation has worsened since Trump took office. More than 40% of people gave Trump a "F" grade for his first 100 days in office. "Trump's support base is very solid," said Trump's polling expert John McLaughlin. "There may be some marginal changes in some swing voters, but they will come back because there is still time to pass the tax bill." On Capitol Hill, more and more Republican politicians are expressing concerns about the White House's tariff actions. This uncertainty further highlights the importance of the congressional Republicans' tax bill, with Trump's allies now believing that this may be the only opportunity large enough to shift people's focus away from tariffs and potentially offset some of the negative impact on voter psychology.
