Poll Shows Majority Oppose Trump’s Tariffs, But Congress Remains Stalled
A new poll reveals that 58% of Americans oppose President Trump’s tariffs, with a majority (53%) wanting Congress to intervene. Bipartisan support exists for a bill granting Congress a two-month review period for new tariffs, though its passage remains uncertain due to potential filibusters and a threatened presidential veto. Legal challenges are also underway, arguing that the President’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to justify tariffs is unlawful. The poll further indicates widespread public disapproval of Trump’s broader economic policies, with majorities believing they are increasing grocery prices and harming the stock market.
