Nearly 68% of Michigan voters said they believe the U.S. imposing a 25% tariff on Canadian imports will mean they would pay more for goods ― a bipartisan concern voiced across the political spectrum ― and more than half said such tariffs would harm the state’s economy, according to a new statewide survey.
The same poll found 68% of Michigan voters also consider Canada to be a friend of Michigan’s economy, while 9% said Canada is a threat to the state’s economy, and 9% said Canada is neither a friend nor a threat.

The survey of 600 Michigan voters was commissioned by the Detroit Regional Chamber and conducted by the Glengariff Group Inc. from Jan. 2-7 ― a few weeks prior to Trump’s most recent threats and delay in imposing 25% tariffs on both Canada and Mexico, which are the United States’ largest trading partners.
