On trade, voters disapprove of Trump’s policies by a 45 percent to a 38 percent margin. Roughly half say Trump’s tariffs will raise consumer prices and hurt the average American, while only one quarter say they will protect jobs and help the average person.


Even in heavily union state Wisconsin:

Trump's tariffs unpopular in Wisconsin:

55% think they will hurt
24% think they will help
21% don't knot

I see that poll and interpret it as 21% of Wisconsin people are honest.

I'd be surprised if 5% of Americans could even tell you what a tariff is.

Trump's stated goal is no tariffs but his chosen path to getting there is to try and demonstrate to other nations why they suck.

I don't know if his method will work, but I share his goal.

Sometimes you walk a batter in order to set up the double play. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesn't but more times than not it is a good option to try.

So many people can't see the end result yet. The goal is to have a FREE trade with other countries and not have our goods taxed out of competition. These high tariffs will go away when the other countries play fair.

This "gotcha" attempt isn't going to work out like you thought it would.

Why do you say “public” in thread title and then limit your findings to a poll conducted only in Wisconsin.

People from Sheboygan don’t speak for me.

95% cannot spell "tariff"

It’s even more amazing how deranged you people get no matter what your President does.

Old Yeller got put down for acting less deranged than you people.
