This is up from two weeks ago when 41% approved and 53% disapproved.
Forty-one percent (41%) of voters believe that recent trade deals with China and the U.K. have been good for America. Thirty-seven percent (37%) believe they have been bad for the U.S.
Two thirds (66%) of voters think that new trade deals are likely to be reached with most countries around the world. Just 22% think that is unlikely.
