DETROIT - Michimich -- A new Briefs Media poll found that the majority of respondents oppose the use of tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada, with concerns about rising costs being a key factor.

Out of 571 respondents, 61% said they do not support tariffs, while 39% were in favor.

Consumer Costs vs. Economic Strategy

Among those who oppose tariffs, many cited concerns about increased costs on consumer goods and potential economic disruptions.

"Ultimately the cost will trickle down to the consumer." - A.G.

"The way the tariffs are being implemented will just negatively impact both economies. US   placing a tariff on softwood lumber from Canada even though it would take two to three years to build new manufacturing facilities in the US just to meet the demand." - A.L.

"I don't support the new tariffs. Our leaders need to come together and negotiate immediately." - O.A.

On the other hand, tariff supporters believe they can be an effective negotiation tool or a way to revitalize U.S. industries by reducing reliance on foreign production.

What This Means for The Economy

The results suggest that consumer concerns over inflation and price increases may outweigh the potential economic benefits of tariffs for many Americans. While some view tariffs as a means to strengthen domestic manufacturing and negotiation leverage, others see them as a short-term fix that could lead to higher prices and strained international relationships.
