Breitbart Business Digest: 69 Percent of Conservatives Say Tariffs Are Conservative

The breakdown among Trump voters was similar: 24 percent wanted higher tariffs, 34 percent wanted tariffs maintained where they were, and 23 percent wanted lower tariffs. These surveys show that not only has support for Trump’s tariffs increased and support for lower tariffs declined over the course of this year but that more Republicans and Trump voters are happy with the current level. Sixty percent of Americans now say that support for tariff hikes is a conservative position, seven percent say it is a liberal position, 17 percent say it is neither liberal nor conservative (probably these are those same self-styled conservatives who oppose tariffs), and 15 percent say they don’t know.
