Fox News Poll: Trump's tariffs faced broad disapproval even before Supreme Court ruling

A new Fox News poll reveals widespread discontent among Americans regarding President Trump's tariffs, showing 63% disapproval.

A recent Fox News poll indicates significant dissatisfaction among the American populace with President Donald Trump's handling of tariffs, registered before a Supreme Court ruling that could further affect his trade policy. The survey, conducted from January 23 to 26, found that 63% of registered voters disapprove of Trump's tariff measures, while only 37% express approval, indicating a notable 26-point deficit. This stark divide marks tariffs as one of Trump's weakest issues in terms of public perception.

The results of this polling suggest a strong resistance to the administration's aggressive trade strategy, which has been touted by the White House as an economic tool and source of federal revenue. Despite the administration's arguments that tariff revenues could be utilized for domestic priorities, including the potential for lowering the national debt and providing direct checks to citizens, many voters appear unconvinced.

The implications of these findings come at a critical junction as the Supreme Court has recently handed down a ruling that could further challenge Trump's tariff policies. This landmark case not only sheds light on the narrow path forward for the administration's trade agenda but also raises questions about the administration's overall economic strategies and their reception among the American public in the lead-up to upcoming elections. Such disapproval reflects broader concerns among voters about the effectiveness and equity of current trade practices under the Trump administration.
