Minnesotans broadly oppose tariffs, and most say Canadian tariffs will hurt the state's economy
7 in 10 Trump voters approve of tariffs, but only 37% say Canadian tariffs will help Minnesota, a statewide probability survey of 1,072 adults finds.
Minnesotans strongly disapprove of the tariffs the U.S. has imposed on countries around the world, and they're even more negative about the impact tariffs on Canadian goods will have on the state's economy, according to a Minnesota Community Survey of 1,072 adults conducted Jan. 22 to Feb. 12, 2026.
The survey was conducted shortly before the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 decision that President Trump doesn’t have the authority to impose tariffs by executive order, a major blow to the legal basis for many of the tariffs imposed over the past year. President Trump quickly invoked a different law to impose new tariffs.
