Polls Show Majority Disapprove of Trump’s Tariff Handling and Express Health Concerns

In Brief

ABC/Post/Ipsos polls report majority disapproval of Trump’s tariffs and concerns about his physical health.

Key Facts

• According to an ABC/Post/Ipsos poll conducted days before a Supreme Court decision, a majority of Americans disapprove of how Donald Trump handled tariffs
• The same poll found a record high number of respondents believe Trump lacks sufficient physical health to be president
• The polls indicate that most Americans disapprove of Trump’s overall performance as president
• The polls also show that Americans do not express greater trust in Democrats in Congress compared to Trump
• The tariff disapproval poll was conducted shortly before the Supreme Court invalidated certain tariffs

What Happened

Two recent polls conducted by ABC News in partnership with Post and Ipsos measured public opinion on former President Donald Trump’s tariff policies and physical health. The tariff-related poll was conducted just days before the Supreme Court ruled to invalidate certain tariffs. The polls also assessed overall approval of Trump and trust in congressional Democrats.

Why It Matters

These polls provide data on public attitudes toward Trump’s trade policies and health status, which are relevant to understanding voter perspectives. The timing of the tariff poll relative to the Supreme Court decision offers context for public opinion on trade issues. The findings also highlight comparative trust levels in political leadership.
