U.S. Image Plummets Internationally as Most Say Country Has Handled Coronavirus Badly
Ratings for Trump remain poor

Since Donald Trump took office as president, the image of the United States has suffered across many regions of the globe. As a new 13-nation Pew Research Center survey illustrates, America’s reputation has declined further over the past year among many key allies and partners. In several countries, the share of the public with a favorable view of the U.S. is as low as it has been at any point since the Center began polling on this topic nearly two decades ago.
For instance, just 41% in the United Kingdom express a favorable opinion of the U.S., the lowest percentage registered in any Pew Research Center survey there. In France, only 31% see the U.S. positively, matching the grim ratings from March 2003, at the height of U.S.-France tensions over the Iraq War. Germans give the U.S. particularly low marks on the survey: 26% rate the U.S. favorably, similar to the 25% in the same March 2003 poll.
Part of the decline over the past year is linked to how the U.S. had handled the coronavirus pandemic. Across the 13 nations surveyed, a median of just 15% say the U.S. has done a good job of dealing with the outbreak. In contrast, most say the World Health Organization (WHO) and European Union have done a good job, and in nearly all nations people give their own country positive marks for dealing with the crisis (the U.S. and UK are notable exceptions). Relatively few think China has handled the pandemic well, although it still receives considerably better reviews than the U.S. response.
Ratings for U.S. President Donald Trump have been low in these nations throughout his presidency, and that trend continues this year. Trump’s most negative assessment is in Belgium, where only 9% say they have confidence in the U.S. president to do the right thing in world affairs. His highest rating is in Japan; still, just one-quarter of Japanese express confidence in Trump.
Attitudes toward Trump have consistently been much more negative than those toward his predecessor, Barack Obama, especially in Western Europe. In the UK, Spain, France and Germany, ratings for Trump are similar to those received by George W. Bush near the end of his presidency.
The publics surveyed also see Trump more negatively than other world leaders. Among the six leaders included on the survey, Angela Merkel receives the highest marks: A median of 76% across the nations polled have confidence in the German chancellor. French President Emmanuel Macron also gets largely favorable reviews. Ratings for British Prime Minister Boris Johnson are roughly split. Ratings for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping are overwhelmingly negative, although not as negative as those for Trump.

I meant a BIDEN Administration, of course - My bad ...
The USA is no longer the world leader in the view of the citizens of the world. It has slipped down many
places from when Obama was president. The world actually sees Trump as worse than the leaders of Russia and China. That is very significant.
None of us understand a thing about policy, diplomacy, Hegemony, and the great Pumpkin.
On account of no trick or treats this year...
We will just have to content ourselves to sitting quietly with our eYes & ears tuned to your erudite
Regurgitation of the CNN hokum.
Tom F. Hanks killed $tupid - 19 with bed rest & chicken soup...in 33 hours.
I'm going into the woods to hunt some down..

That does not mix well with this particular virus.
Ironicly, history may remember Trump, as the man who did clear 'the swamp'...... by serendipity.
Does anyone know if Trump kissed McConnell, like he did Hope Hicks the other day ?
forget global warming, the growing lack of humanity seems more catastrophic.
all the get dead wishes are a prime example. see what a little quarantine can do? all the jackals are frothing with hate
who is to know anything about the transmission
more susceptible. Only a complete idiot would reject this.
But, if the average person listens to actual virologists, rather than the idiot in the White House,
they would be much better informed about this virus.
