Recent polling indicates that most Americans are against the implementation of new tariffs on Mexico and Canada. Prior to President Donald Trump's announcement of the tariffs over the weekend, surveys showed a majority of US adults opposing tariffs on imported goods from both countries.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted just after Trump's inauguration revealed that 60% of respondents opposed new tariffs on Canada, while 55% were against tariffs on Mexico. Similarly, a CBS/YouGov poll from November found that opinions on implementing new tariffs were evenly split, with 52% in favor and 48% opposed. However, 59% of respondents believed that tariffs would lead to higher prices, with only 18% expecting prices to decrease.
