norwolfHi, AlpheccaStars. But there is a word little there, which indicates not.

Yes, I know.

Here is the pattern for the tag questions:

He is here, isn't he?
There is another pie in the fridge, isn't there?
There are few leaves left on the trees, aren't there?
Mary won first prize, didn't she?
Scientists are the smartest people in the world, aren't they?
He isn't very smart, is he?
You don't agree with me, do you?

--------------------------
The last word is the pronoun which agrees with the subject.
"be" or "do" is the tag verb. It has to match the pronoun.
The tag verb is negated as compared to the main verb.
Little is not the same as not. It is an adjective modifying doubt.
Your sentence is still a positive sentence.
See the third example above.
