A 2024 CBS News poll confirms that a majority of Americans support imposing tariffs on imported goods—a clear sign that President Trump’s pro-America trade policies are resonating with the public.
The survey, conducted last year with 2,609 U.S. adults, found that 52% of respondents backed Trump’s strong stance on tariffs, recognizing their role in bringing back American manufacturing and securing jobs. While 64% expressed concern about inflation, many economic experts agree that Trump’s tariff strategy is designed to protect the American worker and reduce dependence on foreign goods.
Under Biden’s weak trade policies, China and other foreign competitors were allowed to flood the U.S. market with cheap products, hurting American businesses. Trump’s tariffs, on the other hand, ensure that America comes first, promoting economic independence and national security.
As Trump continues to champion tariff-driven economic revival, it’s clear that Americans are on board with his vision of a stronger, self-reliant nation. With 2026 midterms approaching, the success of his America-first policies will likely play a major role in shaping the future of U.S. trade.
