More Americans overall disapprove than approve of President Donald Trump's import tariffs on steel and aluminum, but Republicans back the president, and they believe the U.S. would come out ahead if a trade war were to ensue.

A majority of Democrats and a plurality of independents disapprove of the new tariff measures, while two-thirds of Republicans approve.

[reaganaut1]

50% disapprove of the tariffs vs. 33% approving, and 49% think a trade war will hurt the economy, vs. 22% who think it will help.

[Wolfie]

Yeah sure. And tell the same dissapprovers that the tariff proposals came from a Democrat and they would suddenly approve.

[Basket_of_Deplorables]

The Concern Trolls are deeply Concerned.

MAGA!!!

Poll: Americans have concerns about new steel and aluminum tariffs

---

And after watching “An inconvenient truth” a lot of americans had concerns about global warming until they further educated themselves.

i.e. they are merely parroting what they heard on the MSM. Their opinion is irrelevant, at least until this gets vetted publicly.

If you Free Traitors™ would stop the fear mongering, hysteria and childish temper tantrums then public opinion would be in favor of them. How does it feel to be aligned with the MSM?

Will both sides of the tariff argument ever be presented? Not with the Free Trade fascists running things.

[airborne]

"50% disapprove of the tariffs ..."

And of those 50% how many do you think could correctly explain why President Trump is levying them?

[central_va]

When you format it as lie then the poll is meaninglessness. Retards( or liars ) like call it a “trade war” only when we actually start to fight back. Loser.

[Da Coyote]

Americans also have concerns about dishonest incompetent semi-intelligent news readers who deliver fake news with vim and vigor.
Do da name “Dan Rather” mean anythin’ to ya there, CBS?

[ncalburt]

Please spare us a push poll from Never Trump See BS ..

The Chinese military industrial complex appreciates your help with there
Globalist plan .

Good work Never Trump Globalist comrade !!!

[FlingWingFlyer]

Those “americans” polled were all economics and trade “experts”, huh? A dollar to a donut that the majority who “disapprove” haven’t got a clue what the hell the pollster was asking them about but they hate President Trump, so of course they “disapprove” of anything he does. These so called “polls” are for morons.

[JPJones]

Americans have concerns that CBS lies about everything.

[heights]

CBS and People that post their gargage as Truth are Traitors.

[faucetman]

“More Americans overall disapprove than approve of President Donald Trump’s import tariffs...”

What exactly do “Americans” know about tariffs or trade?

NOTHING! (as with most other things)

[Red Badger]

[heights]

Garbage.....can’t see any longer

[kabar]

The uninformed/misinformed American public, just like the ruling class wants. There are trillions of dollars at play for the globalists.

The public were also initially against tax reform until they started getting their tax cuts.

[KC_Conspirator]

Maybe 10-20% of that 50%. Tops.

[Dogbert41]

I wont see any tax cut until I file next year. HR Block tells me I’ll go from owing over 500 this year to getting a $2k refund if all things remain about the same. That’s $2500 difference to us and it’s not CRUMBS for us either.

[jmaroneps37]

Fake push poll just like fake push polls that said people like higher taxes. Disregard nothing to see here. We have been in a trade war for 30 years now and have lost steadily, lost ground.

[Harpotoo]

FAKE NEWS POLL!!! In a new poll by Rasmussen Reports, nearly 70 percent of likely voters said it is more important to keep manufacturing jobs in the United States than keeping prices on products low for consumers.
