Trump's ratings on trade reportedly don't fare much better in key industrial states — which carried him to victory in 2016 and are crucial for his 2020 reelection bid, but which have been hit hardest by the ongoing trade war.
Voters' disapproval on trade contrasts starkly with their views of the economy as a whole. A large majority of respondents, 71%, said that the economy is in either "excellent" or "good" standing — a figure Quinnipiac says is the highest total for those categories in nearly 18 years.
Opinion on Trump's trade policies has soured since January, the last time the pollster asked voters, "Do you approve or disapprove of the way Donald Trump is handling trade?" The U.S. and China are locked in a protracted trade dispute, and both sides have ratcheted up the aggression in recent weeks.
