At the other extreme, 15% said they want to either expand U.S. trading with China (5%) or maintain the status quo (10% say nothing should change).[1]

On the other hand, 41% of Republicans said they want to halt trade until compensation is negotiated or ban trade completely. Just 18% of Democrats said they agree, along with 31% of independents.[1]
