Well, given the wall-to-wall coverage of these things, that's not surprising. But: were these consumers subsequently asked how good they felt about tariffs eliminating their income taxes? If not, I'm sure the offending pollster-and/or-media-outlet will be prosecuted for encouraging wrongthink shortly...
