POLL: Voters Back Trump on Trade Policy

POLL: Voters Back Trump on Trade Policy

According to the latest poll from the left-leaning outlet Morning Consult, Donald Trump has a positive approval rating on his handling of trade policy.

The results show that 47% approve of Trump’s handling of trade, while 45% disapprove.

Considering the media and financial backlash since the announcement of the new tariffs, it’s quite noteworthy that even a left-wing polling outlet finds Trump’s trade policy approval in positive territory.

Many people, including this outlet, have been critical of right-leaning commentators who are panicking over the rollout of the new tariffs. We believed the panic and outrage were vastly overblown, and we at The Right-Wing Populist feel vindicated.

The American people support tariffs. They believe tariffs can help bring jobs back to the country or force foreign governments to lower their trade barriers.

As the administration’s messaging and strategy on tariffs has improved, public support has risen. That’s no coincidence.
