Why Trump voters want to raise tariffs and deport migrants

It’s an axiom of American politics that you can’t get elected by promising to raise voters’ taxes. Yet Donald Trump could do just that. One of his main economic planks is a sharp increase in tariffs on imports, which could raise a typical family’s costs by more than $2,000 per year. That doesn’t seem to be hurting Trump: The Republican presidential nominee is in a dead heat with his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.

A paradox of Trump’s unorthodox campaign is that many of his supporters back policies that could directly or indirectly make them worse off. We wanted to dig into why, so we ran an online survey of more than 6,000 Yahoo Finance users to ask their views on three of Trump’s key economic planks: higher tariffs on imports, deporting millions of undocumented migrants, and repealing or changing the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

We found huge gaps in attitudes between Trump and Harris voters. Some Trump voters feel so strongly about his policies that they support them even if they’d cause economic harm. Other Trump voters reject economists’ claims about the likely damage they’d cause. And undecided voters who could end up deciding this year’s election outcome seem partly swayed by Trump’s often misleading rhetoric on what his plans would accomplish.

Here's a summary breakdown of how voters feel on these three core issues. Among Harris voters, 97% think Trump’s tariffs would raise prices and ding family budgets. That’s what most economists say would happen. But only 4% of Trump voters feel tariffs would raise prices and cause them harm, on net. Undecided voters are right in the middle, with 44% saying tariffs would raise their costs.

The gaps were smaller but still pronounced on the other two issues. Economists warn that the mass deportation Trump promises would remove workers from the labor force and shrink GDP. Harris voters seem to agree. Only 6% of Harris voters think the nation should deport undocumented migrants even if it harms the economy, but 45% of Trump voters feel that way, as if any harm to the economy is worth whatever the gain would be from deporting migrants.

On the ACA, basically no Harris voters want to repeal or even change it. But 15% of Trump voters want to modify the ACA, even if it means fewer people will end up with health insurance. Again, the assumption seems to be that gains from repealing or changing the ACA would outweigh any losses.

Since we polled Yahoo Finance users rather than the general public, our survey is more like a large focus group than a scientific poll. Our respondents lean more toward Harris than the broader public, with 56% saying they plan to vote for Harris. That still left 1,929 respondents, or 32%, saying they’d vote for Trump and explaining why they support his policies. About 8% said they were undecided, and 4% said they’d be voting for somebody else.
