New polling shows broad U.S. voter disapproval of President Trump’s tariff policy and the Supreme Court decision striking it down.
Key Highlights
- More than half of U.S. adults disapprove of Trump’s tariff handling.
- Disapproval spans age, gender and racial groups in the poll.
- Most Democratic and independent voters oppose the tariff approach.
- MAGA Republicans remain strong supporters of Trump’s tariff stance.
A majority of American adults say they disapprove of how President Donald Trump has handled tariffs on imported goods, according to recent national polling conducted just before the Supreme Court invalidated his sweeping tariff program.
The ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos survey found broad opposition across demographic and political groups, underscoring public unease about trade taxes and rising costs as debates over the court’s decision continue.
Why It Matters
Public opinion is a key gauge for policymakers as the Supreme Court’s decision on the legality of Trump’s tariff authority fuels political debate and could influence election-year narratives.
Analysis
The poll’s timing, conducted immediately before the high court struck down the tariff plan, suggests voter sentiment may shape how both parties position themselves on trade and economic leadership ahead of midterm elections, potentially prompting discussions in Congress and within the GOP about the future of U.S. trade policy.
