Summary of polling on trade<\/strong>
\nFrom Gallup Polling<\/a><\/p>\n

Critics of NAFTA argue that the trade agreement is responsible for devastating job losses in the United States, especially in the manufacturing industry.<\/p>\n

A majority of American respondents (53%) told Gallup that the effect of NAFTA on the U.S. economy has been “mainly negative,” while 37% said the effect has been “mainly positive.” Working Americans are slightly more likely than unemployed Americans to say the effect of NAFTA on the U.S. economy has been “mainly negative,” 56% to 48%.<\/p>\n
