Global opinions of US

[transporter]

One year into Donald Trump's presidency, the image of U.S. leadership is weaker worldwide than it was under his two predecessors. Median approval of U.S. leadership across 134 countries and areas stands at a new low of 30%, according to a new Gallup report.

The most recent approval rating, based on Gallup World Poll surveys conducted between March and November last year, is down 18 percentage points from the 48% approval rating in the last year of President Barack Obama's administration, and is four points lower than the previous low of 34% in the last year of President George W. Bush's administration.

The 43% median disapproval, up 15 points from the previous year, set a new record as well, not only for the U.S. but for any other major global power that Gallup has asked about in the past decade.

Out of 134 countries, U.S. leadership approval ratings declined substantially -- by 10 percentage points or more -- in 65 countries that include many longtime U.S. allies and partners.

The losses in U.S. leadership approval may have implications on U.S. influence abroad.

Makes it kinda difficult to negotiate "great deals", "beautiful deals", or deals that only benefit the US, when the entire world disapproves of your actions...now doesn't it.

Actually, quite the opposite is true. Not that you would understand why.

Unless your polling world leaders, does this really matter? And out of 134 countries, how many of them really matter on the world stage? 10?

Exactly. They need to grow a spine and stop looking immediately to the USA every time there's a thunderstorm. We're tired of looking under everyone's bed for monsters.

Now you're getting with the program.

And, who cares what the rest of the World thinks of US. We make the World go round. Without US, the World would be in a world of hurt. Furthermore, whatever the rest of the World did to hurt themselves, is not our problem.
