Public Confidence in Trump’s Grocery Price Pledge Plummets Ahead of Second Term

Despite campaign promises to lower costs, polls show most Americans doubt President-elect Trump can deliver on his economic agenda.

A new AP-NORC poll reveals only 2 in 10 Americans are confident Trump will lower grocery, housing, or health care costs in 2025.
Trump campaigned heavily on promises to reduce inflation and make groceries more affordable, yet many voters remain skeptical of his ability to achieve these goals.
Economists warn that Trump’s proposed policies, such as tariffs on imported foods and stricter immigration measures, could increase food prices rather than lower them.
The survey shows about 6 in 10 voters who prioritized the economy in the 2024 election supported Trump, though many now express doubts about his capacity to deliver results.
Trump’s incoming White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, insists the president-elect has a mandate to fulfill his promises and will take action to address economic concerns.
