US support for free trade wanes
WASHINGTON - Free trade is losing support in the United States, in particular among high-income Americans, as a growing number of professionals feel threatened by job outsourcing to low-wage nations.
A recent poll by a Washington research group found eroding support for the notion of free trade, but the shift was dramatic among those with incomes of more than 100,000 dollars a year.
The University of Maryland's Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA) found that among those in the over 100,000-dollar bracket, the percentage actively supporting free trade slid from 57 percent in 1999 to 28% in January 2004.
