Why is consumer confidence important?
The survey highlights American concerns about the U.S. economy, one of several people conducted in recent weeks showing rising consumer pessimism.
This also means a negative assessment of the Trump administration’s economic policy, which is the focus of the presidential campaign.
Consumer spending is estimated to account for more than two-thirds of the country’s GDP due to a decline in economic confidence, and has begun to decline.
As cited in a Newsweek report, this could create more problems for U.S. companies and the economy as a whole and exacerbate the existing problem that the country is about to enter a recession.
This could mean Republicans and President Donald Trump in the 2026 midterm elections.
According to polls, nearly three-quarters of Americans believe inflation will get worse in the coming year.
Of those surveyed, 70% are now more concerned about inflation than in September, and only 39% support Trump-controlled strategies.
As cited in a report by Newsweek, nearly all respondents (95%) were a smart real estate survey conducted between March 5 and March 9, expressing concern about future price increases.
How do people adjust their spending?
81% of Americans expressed concern about tariffs and the potential of global trade wars, with 49% expressing great concern. Nearly three-quarters (72%) believe tariffs will harm the economy as a whole.
To prepare for the economic climate in 2025, most (58%) reported reducing unnecessary spending, and many admitted they reduced grocery spending (47%), clothing (45%) and fuel/gas (34%).
Walmart CEO Doug McMillon claimed in late February that “budget-pressed” consumers exhibit “stressed behavior” as if they chose to buy smaller items.
What role does tariffs play in this economic fear?
One of the main economic problems raised by the investigative participants is the recent imposition of new tariffs on the Trump administration.
Headlines about tariff hikes, trade wars, layoffs and stock market sell-offs could scare consumers, according to Bill Adams, chief economist at Comerica Bank. Worrying that losing a job could lead to people reducing large amounts of purchases and holidays and temporarily undermining spending for discretionary consumers.
Between February and March, the consumer sentiment index fell 10.5% to 57.8 points, the third consecutive decline, down 22% from December. Expectations for full-year inflation increased from 4.3% to 4.9%, the highest expectations since November 2022.
