Poll Shock: Americans Still Trust GOP Over Democrats On Trade
In a surprising—and somewhat ironic—development, a new poll from the left-leaning firm Morning Consult conducted after the implementation of the new Trump tariffs, reveals that despite media hysteria surrounding Trump‘s new tariff policy, Americans still trust Republicans more than Democrats on trade, by a margin of 2 percent.
This polling result delivers a serious blow to the prevailing media narrative that Americans have lost confidence in the administration’s ability to handle trade policy. Notably, Morning Consult has a history of overestimating Democratic support, which means that in reality, Republicans may enjoy an even larger advantage on the issue of trade.
Trump hopes reciprocal tariffs will lead to a manufacturing boom—or at the very least, to a reduction in trade barriers in other countries, leading to more free and FAIR trade.
