What? No Australia? I am offended!


Peter Brown, the institute's assistant director, said Democrats generally give foreign countries higher ratings than Republicans.

Dem's normally love commies/socialism - control...

In order of ranking, they were England, Canada, Israel, Germany, India, Mexico, the United Nations, Russia, France, China, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Iraq, Syria, the Palestinian government, Cuba, Iran and North Korea.

Let's see...

U.S.A., Australia, U.K., country's that love, live, and defend freedom! Interesting that my first three have red, white, and blue, flags.

When I read the headline I thought 'Wow, they must have been polling mostly conservatives'. Dems would have had No Korea, Iran and Cuba at the front of the list and the red, white and blue countries as least liked!

Interesting that my first three have red, white, and blue, flags.

But so does France.

whose idiot idea might it have been to include the United Nations as a country?

3. (INTRO TO Q3a-3r) I'd like to get your feelings about some countries and governing organizations who have been in the news and what sort of a relationship you feel they have with the United States. I'll read the name of a country or governing organization and I'd like you to rate how much of a friend or foe they are to the U.S. using the feeling thermometer. You can choose any number between 0 and 100. The higher the number, the warmer or more friendly you feel they are to the U.S. The lower the number, the colder or less friendly they are. If we come to a country or governing organization who you haven't heard enough about to form an opinion, you don't need to rate them. Just tell me and we'll move on to the next one. (na = not asked)

TREND: How friendly or unfriendly do you think -- is to the U.S.?
