President Donald Trump's nonsensical "Liberation Day" tariffs are unpopular, and voters want Congress to stop them, according to a new poll conducted by Civiqs for Daily Kos.

The poll, fielded April 12 to 15, finds that 53% of registered voters oppose the tariffs Trump placed on nearly every country in the world. That includes 50% of independents, 45% of whom are strongly opposed to the tariffs.

Voters oppose Trump's tariffs likely because they believe the tariffs will raise prices. Experts say the tariffs could cost the average American household $4,700 a year.

The Civiqs/Daily Kos poll finds 67% of voters believe the tariffs will raise the prices on everyday items. That includes a plurality (33%) of Republican voters, who are usually reluctant to criticize Trump’s agenda. Another 28% of GOP voters say they are "unsure" if tariffs will increase costs—likely because they don’t want to admit that tariffs will raise costs.
