Don’t Raise Tariffs, The Information’s Readers Say

Readers of The Information overwhelmingly oppose President-elect Donald Trump’s plans to increase tariffs and believe they will hurt the technology industry, according to our most recent survey.

Survey respondents also turned pessimistic about the outlook for tech, despite a rising stock market since Trump won reelection last month. For the first time in four months and only the third time since we began monthly surveys last year, more respondents said they think conditions for tech will worsen in the next six months than think conditions will improve. In all, 783 people responded to the survey between Dec. 5 and Tuesday.
