Among Trump’s voters, 69% believe that imposing tariffs on China will help the economy, while 17% disagree.By comparison, 79% of Harris voters believe China’s tariffs will harm the economy, and 13% think they are beneficial.”

TikTok ban

Most U.S. voters (40%) support banning TikTok from January 19, 30% oppose it, and 30% uncertain.

Survey on the favorability of candidates in early 2028

Voters were asked if they had a good impression of several public figures mentioned earlier in Emerson’s national poll in November.Mark Cuban (35% liked, 10% never heard of), Alexander Ocasio-Cortez (29% liked, 14% never heard of) and Pete Buttigieg (34% liked, 15% never heard of) the potential candidate among the most well-known voters.

Among Democratic voters, Pete Buttigieg (57%), Alexander Ocasio-Cortez (54%), Gavin Newsom (50%), and Gretchen Whitmer (46%) and Mark Cuban (44%) are the most popular potential candidates.

“It is worth noting that although Cuban ranks fifth among Democrats, he is 33% ahead of independents,” Kimball said.“At the same time, the AOC became the most polarized figure, with strong support from the Democratic Party but also strong opposition from the Republican Party.”

Vice-President-elect JD Vance has different approval ratings: 41% have a good impression of the future vice-president, while 41% have a negative view of him.Elon Musk, the future co-head of government efficiency, also has a different favorability among voters: 43% have a favorable impression of Musk, while 43% have a negative opinion of him.
