The poll also revealed strong support for NAFTA among younger voters aged 18-29, with 73 percent saying the trade deal has benefitted the United States — the highest level of support among any age group.
The release noted that Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders,’ whose campaign for the presidency matched Trump in its criticism of NAFTA, had little impact on younger voters who overwhelmingly backed Sanders.
