Pew Research Center Releases Global Favorability Poll
U.S. global favorability falls below China's for first time.
Event Overview
A Pew Research Center poll of 42,000 people across 36 countries shows that 25 of these areas view China more favorably than the United States. Additionally, President Xi Jinping is viewed more positively than President Donald Trump in 22 of those nations, including Canada, the U.K., France, and Germany. The decline in U.S. standing is attributed to the Trump administration's foreign policy, tensions with allies, and perceived interference in foreign affairs.
