Conclusion 28  Literature 29  Imprint 30  \n1. Executive Summary  \nGenerally positive opinion of trade sharply decreasing.  \nApproval of increased trade is decreasing sharply in Germany. In the United States, by contrast, it has increased slightly. This means that at present in Germany only 56 % consider trade with other countries to be a good thing, while 27 % have a negative opinion. Two years ago, 88% had a positive opinion and only 9 % were against increased trade. In the United States, approval increased slightly from 71 % to 82 %, while rejection fell from 23 % to 13 % . In Germany, even in the business-friendly parties, there are significant minorities who are critical of trade. In general, thereis stronger approval of trade with industrialized countries than trade with emerging economies, which applies to both, Germany and the United States.  \nGeneral rejection of TTIP – strong interest in the issue.  \nA majority in Germany disapproves of the planned TTIP agreement. 33 % have a negative opinion of TTIP, with only 17 % considering it a good thing. In the United States, opinion is split, with 15 % in favor and 18% against. In both countries, however, a high proportion of the survey participants did not feel that they were sufficiently well-informed, the percentages being 46% in the United States and 30 % in Germany. In this respect, opinions have become considerably more negative. Two years ago, 55 % of Germansand 53 % of Americans were in favor of TTIP, with disapproval levels being 25 %(Germany) and 20 %(United States) respectively. Furthermore, at that time respondents did not feel as uncertain, with only 8 % of Germans and 14 % of Americans considering themselves not sufficiently wellinformed. At the same time, there is great interest in TTIP, both among Germans (52 %) and Americans (44 %) .  \nGermans fear that standards will be watered down. When respondents were asked about the impact of TTIP, in Germany a majority were concerned that standards could be watered down. This applies particularly to consumer protection and environmental, labor and social standards. In terms of impact on the economy (growth, competitiven-  \ness and the labor market), there is no clear overall opinion. Generally speaking, this applies to the United States as well, where positive and negative opinions on standards and the economy are roughly equally strong.  \nImpact of globalization accurately assessed. German respondents evaluated various statements about the impact of globalization on the German economy correctly. They considered Germany to be one of the winners of globalization and also felt that Germany has benefited from the European single market. They understand that German companies generate a large part of their turnover abroad and that many jobs in Germany are dependent on exports. Additionally, they believe that companies that export pay higher wages. In this respect, they are in agreement with studies investigating the impact of globalization.  \nDisapproval of TTIP outweighs approval in Germany.  \nWhen comparisons are made between several surveys in Germany on the approval of TTIP, it becomes clear that the disapproval rates of TTIP are now outweighing approval rates. The trend towards disapproval continues and is bec","cbCaijEV2CEU35WG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijEV2CEU35WG","pdf",2989739,32,"English","# Executive Summary\n## Trade opinion trends\n## TTIP approval and information uncertainty\n## Standards concerns and perceived economic impacts\n## Comparison with other surveys\n# Introduction\n## TTIP negotiation context and objectives","[{\"question\":\"How have opinions about increased global trade changed in Germany and the United States?\",\"answer\":\"In Germany, approval of increased trade has fallen sharply, leaving only a minority with a positive view.
