The image of the United States in the minds of Mexican citizens has skyrocketed in the past year -- rebounding to positive levels not seen since the American invasion of Iraq.

According to the Pew Global Attitudes Project's newly released survey on international attitudes toward the U.S., the favorable image of the United States has soared in Mexico from 47 percent to 69 percent since Barack Obama replaced George W. Bush as president.
A year ago, just 16 percent of Mexicans said they trusted the United States to do what's right in international affairs. This year, 55 percent of Mexicans had faith in American foreign policy.
Pew Research Center president Andrew Kohut said the poll "reflects a revival of America's global image...reflecting confidence in Barack Obama."

Why do you think this leftist rag has one of the biggest drop in subscription rates in the country.
Yay?
Seriously, who gives a second thought to what Mexico thinks of us?
free healthcare, la raza in white hut, open boders, all the drugs they can sell, more ss and welfare fraud.
Obama is popular in Mexico.....such a coveted position.
“This year, 55 percent of Mexicans had faith in American foreign policy.”
Yeah, to spread socialism across the globe.
Could there be any clearer truth that we are traveling down the wrong road, that our government is seriously misled and incompetent?
Th Pew Research Center has morphed from pollster to a PR firm for Democrats and illegal aliens. They wre part of SEIU/La arza anymore. Zero credibility.
Great. The approval of what is becoming our next-door narcostate. But they’re probably right, in a sense, because Bambi’s vision of the future of Latin America is as a giant plantation for raising drugs that will be sold (and taxed) in the US, thereby raking in the bucks and keeping the population tranquilized.
Yea,
That should be very importnat to us!
I’m so glad that even when the swine flu was coming across the boarder we didn’t DARE invoke the idea of closing down that boarder./sarc
Gee, and I have been losing so much sleep over what Mexicans think about the US.
Has anyone asked us what we think of Mexico?
I don’t care what our image is abroad. Do you think France, Spain, Saudi Arabia care what WE THINK of them?
Polling is how a propagandist measures the effectiveness of his work. Its how he knows if he is being successful, and its how he knows what he needs to do going forward, and how he needs to adjust the focus of his propaganda.
It also serves as news filler, displacing real information.
And it serves a propagandistic purpose of its own, in that it helps to shape the notion that one opinion is the popular one and the other is not. People like to be on the winning side, and when people believe that their opinion is out of favor they will tend to keep quiet or apologize for thinking what they do.
Excellent question.
I think the most corrupt government on earth is in Mexico.
The actively teach people how to illegally enter another sovreign nation while deporting without question anyone who enters their country.
The whole of leadership of that country is controlled by one drug cartel or another. It’s completelty out of control.
Oh please!....So damn what?....It’s Obama’s popularity with all the Mexicans waiting to rush the border without paying a coyote and all the Mexicans who want them to leave in the first place!....What a pile of crap!
And on an entirely different note, an image of Barack Obama was found on an overcooked tortilla in Mazatlan this morning...
You summed it up well so....what’s not to like for illegal aliens coming here?
The levels of corruption in Mex are so high, we could never believe it. There is unimaginable wealth in Mexico, which makes it one of the wealthiest countries in the world, as a whole.
Well, yeah. Since most of them are here, now.....Mexico must be empty by now................
Are there any Mexicans left in Mexico? I thought they were all here now.
Mexico is a cesspool of corruption and bigotry. Nobody should care what they think.
I wonder if W will read this poll and realize that all his illegal alien butt kissing was in vain.
Well, what the hay — free health care without the paperwork, uncontested border crossing, state resident tuition rates, drivers’ licenses, the right to march in hundreds of thousands, demanding whatever the hell you want, and immediate protected class status.
Yep, if I were one of them, I’d have a positive image of the USSA, too.
Terrific.
Fantastic! Let’s send Obama over there to be their president.
This is a Global Poll.I happened across it yesterday and the Pew Poll confirms pretty much what I thought. All the world hates the USA.
To some extent, Russia hates us less than most.
While the average Mexican is likely a good person, they’re incredible gullible and naivee when it comes to politics....otherwise their country wouldn’t have been a $h*th*le for all these years.
