President Obama on Monday concluded a mini-summit with the presidents of Canada and Mexico, but Americans don’t look too kindly on what their neighbors had at the top of their agendas.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 19% of Americans say the U.S. Congress should let trucks from Mexico cross the border and carry their loads on American highways, as Mexican President Felipe Calderon requested.

Sixty-six percent (66%) of U.S. adults oppose lifting the congressional ban on Mexican trucks operating in the United States. Fifteen percent (15%) are not sure.

Men are more strongly opposed than women. At least seven-out of-10 voters ages 40 and older are against lifting the ban on Mexican trucks. Sixty-eight percent (68%) of investors agree.

Twenty-eight percent (28%) of Democrats say Mexican trucks should be allowed to cross the border and operate in the United States, compared to 11% of Republicans and 16% of those not affiliated with either party.

Americans are only slightly more favorable toward Canadian President Stephen Harper’s request that Congress eliminate the “buy American” provision in the $787-billion economic stimulus plan so Canadian construction companies can compete for stimulus projects. Fifteen percent (15%) agree with Harper’s request.

But 52% oppose lifting the stimulus plan’s “buy American” provision. One-out-of-three adults, however, are not sure.

Again, men are more opposed than women. Fifty-nine percent (59%) of investors also don’t like the idea of eliminating the provision.

Most Republicans (54%) and unaffiliateds (56%) are against abandoning the “buy American” provision, and the plurality (48%) of Democrats agree.

Fifty-seven percent (57%) of Americans say they followed news stories about the president’s recent meetings with the presidents of Canada and Mexico, but just 22% who followed very closely.

Eighty-six percent (86%) of Americans view Canada as a U.S. ally, making it number one on a list of 18 countries that Rasmussen Reports surveyed about this week. Fifty-four percent (54%) view Mexico that way, putting it at number seven on the list.
