![]() Americans are feeling less loved around the globe: In Gallup’s latest survey out this morning,
just 42% say the country is viewed very or somewhat favorably “in the
eyes of the world.” That’s down 7 percentage points from last year, and
tied with the low from 2017. As is often the case, the answers to this
question were sharply polarized by party: 65% of Democrats believe the
U.S. is viewed favorably under Biden, versus 17% of Republicans and 41%
of independents. They also didn’t necessarily track with global reality:
In June, Pew found
that out of 23 countries it surveyed, the majority of people had a
positive view of the U.S. in all but one case. (That outlier was
Hungary). Other countries were slightly more likely to have a net-negative view of the U.S. under Donald Trump. |
