A plurality of Americans (46%) feel that the U.S. is more responsible for the current trade dispute with Canada, while just 12% feel that Canada is more responsible and 18% say both countries are equally responsible. When it comes to the financial impact of tariffs, 40% believe the tariffs between the neighboring countries will have a mostly negative impact on their financial situation, while few say it will be mostly positive (4%); 28% are unsure and 27% feel the tariffs will not have much of an impact.

In addition, a majority (63%) of Americans oppose a recent executive order signed by President Donald Trump to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America (14% support, 21% don’t know).
