Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : The Federal Reserve has kept interest rates at a historically high level in its multiyear effort to combat inflation, despite direct pleas from Trump to lower rates to jolt economic activity.
27% : Economists largely agree tariffs lead to higher inflation as companies pass on import costs to sticker prices, but the frequent shifts in the tariff rates set by Trump make it difficult to forecast just how large the tariff inflation impact will be.
