Part of the reason the president is off to South America (maybe it’s to see if he can find a country where support among the people is stronger for him than in the U.S.) is to bolster support for so-called “free trade” agreements pending with Colombia and Peru, among other trade deals. He’s not going to find much support here in the U.S., according to a new poll:

By 46%-28%, Americans say trade deals with other countries have harmed
U.S.; a 42% plurality of conservatives agrees.

The public is as clear as it can be that so-called “free trade” is a disaster for the country. Hopefully, Democrats will hear that and act accordingly.
