Even before the Supreme Court handed a blow to President Donald Trump’s<\/u><\/a> sweeping trade policy, Americans were already voicing strong disapproval in national polling of his handling of tariffs.<\/p>\n

A Fox News survey conducted between Jan. 23 and 26 found 63% of registered voters disapprove of Trump\u2019s handling of tariffs, while 37% approve, a 26-point deficit that ranks trade among his weakest-performing issues.<\/p>\n

The results highlight resistance to the administration\u2019s aggressive trade strategy. The White House has promoted tariffs as both an economic lever and a source of federal revenue, but the poll suggests that argument is not resonating with many voters.<\/p>\n

SUPREME COURT DEALS BLOW TO TRUMP\u2019S TRADE AGENDA IN LANDMARK TARIFF CASE<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

TRUMP’S TARIFF REVENUES HIT RECORD HIGHS AS SUPREME COURT DEALS MAJOR BLOW<\/strong><\/a>

This administration has repeatedly argued that tariff revenue can fund domestic priorities like lowering the nation’s $38 trillion debt<\/u><\/a> and potentially delivering a $2,000 dividend<\/u><\/a> check to Americans.<\/p>\n

And collections have surged.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since Trump\u2019s return to office, tariff revenue has climbed more than 300%<\/a>. In January alone, duties totaled $30.4 billion, up 275% from a year earlier. So far this fiscal year, revenue has reached $132.6 billion.<\/p>\n

Yet despite the windfall, public opinion has not followed the same trajectory.<\/p>\n

Disapproval extends beyond trade. The poll found 59% disapprove of Trump\u2019s handling of the economy and 65% disapprove of his handling of inflation, economic anxieties that may be shaping views of tariff policy.<\/p>\n

Taken together, the numbers indicate that even before recent legal developments, the president\u2019s trade agenda was facing significant public headwinds, raising questions about its political durability as cost-of-living concerns persist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
