Post-tariff polling shows historic support for Republicans

CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten said on Friday that Republicans are gaining more popularity with the American public following President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

New polling found that Democrats and Republicans are tied 33% to 33% on the question of who “cares more for the needs of people” for the first time in over 30 years, according to a post-tariff Quinnipiac poll. Democrats historically held a double digit lead over Republicans on that question going all the way back to 1994, when the party led on that question by 19 points.
