KEY POINTS
By a narrow 49%-46% margin, Americans still approve of Trumps handling of the economy. But thats down from 51%-41% approval in early May and an even more robust 50%-34% in July 2018.
At the same time, Americans now say they approve of free trade by 64%-27%, a margin of better than two to one. Thats up from 57%-37% early in Trumps presidency, and 51%-41% near the end of President Obamas tenure.
Trumps overall approval ticked down slightly in the survey to 43% from 45% in July. That remains within the range of earlier results for a president whose ratings with a sharply-polarized electorate have stayed remarkably stable.
