The Pew Research Center finds 56% of Americans believe the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is good for the United States. Thirty-three percent of Americans deemed the trade deal ?bad? for the United States.

A relatively small amount of Americans said NAFTA benefits Mexico or Canada more than the United States. Data compiled by the United States Department of Agriculture indicates – since the implication of NAFTA, U.S. agricultural exports to Canada and Mexico have more than quadrupled.

The study surveyed more than 1,500 adults at the end of October. At the time of the survey, President Donald Trump raised question about the fairness of the trade agreement.
