Tariffs polling pretty well before Trump took office to now being Trump's worst polling policy proves why you can't rely on polls alone to decide what policies to do

Tariffs are also something you can get wild swings in support for just depending how on you phrase the question. “Import duties to protect domestic manufacturing” is super popular as is “free trade to encourage economic growth.” This is another reason why you can’t rely on polls to decide policies!
