In an NBC News / Wall Street Journal poll released yesterday, the public supports free trade and opposes the trade war that incompetent con man Donald "Very Stable Genius" Trump has launched against China and other nations. By a margin of 64% to 27%, the public supports free trade with other countries as good for America, a jump of 13% from 2015.
The poll also measured public attitudes on gun safety measures, with 89% favoring expanded background checks, 75% favoring a Government buy-back program for guns that people no longer want, and 62% favoring a ban on semi-automatic assault weapons.
The poll also indicated that Trump's approval rating fell 2 points since July, to 43% job approval.

As with immigration (https://t.co/KgANwGLj92), Trump has driven support for free trade to new highs https://t.co/KgANwGLj92. The idea that he has some magical power over public opinion on these issues is just wrong. pic.twitter.com/B69bHt030f— Brendan Nyhan (@BrendanNyhan) August 18, 2019
