Americans are more willing to pay for goods that have been reshored to the United States as opposed to nearshored to neighboring countries, and they’re willing to pay a premium for it, according to new Morning Consult polling.

Tracking surveys conducted since June 2022, Morning Consult finds that consumers are more willing to pay as much as 15% more to companies that have returned their manufacturing production to the U.S.
