Tariff poll: 48% see manufacturing harm, 36% a benefit
Cato’s October 4 post cites 48% of its “working-class” respondents saying tariffs harmed U.S. manufacturing, 36% helped and 16% had no effect. The article uses registered voters without college degrees for this group, rather than all workers defined by occupation or income.
The September 24 article draws on Cato/Morning Consult total samples of 2,002 in March and 4,150 in August, not subgroup counts. These are perceptions, not measured manufacturing losses. We did not verify the full questionnaire or subgroup error, and do not project election results.
