Americans skepticism about trade deals.

Trade is a tough sell in the United States, especially during tough economic times in hard-hit manufacturing communities where workers tend to view trade pacts as drawing American jobs overseas. A survey released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center found substantial skepticism about trade deals like the North American Free Trade Agreement and the policies of the World Trade Organization. The poll found that 35 percent of adults said that free-trade agreements had been good for the United States, while 44 percent said they had been bad.
While most Americans say that increased trade with Canada, Japan and European Union countries — as well as Brazil, India and Mexico — would be good for the United States, reactions to increased trade with China and South Korea were more mixed, according to the survey, conducted Nov. 4-7 among 1,255 adults. The margin of sampling error was plus or minus 4 percent.
