(North Dakota Monitor) – Most North Dakotans support the use of tariffs as part of trade policy but appear mixed on how President Donald Trump is handling trade and whether the impacts of tariffs will hit them personally, results of the latest North Dakota Poll show.

A total of 60% of respondents support the use of tariffs as part of U.S. trade policy, and 34% oppose, with most opposition coming from Democrats and just under half of self-described independents.

Slightly less approve of the Trump administration’s handling of trade policy, with 57% approving and 39% disapproving, with opposition again coming from Democrats and nearly half of independents.

A total of 33% of respondents said their own financial situation would be better off because of the Trump trade policies, 32% said they’d be worse off, and another 35% said their situation would be about the same.
