Donald Trump's presidency has had a "major impact on how the world sees the United States", a large new study says. The survey, by the Pew Research Center, interviewed more than 40,000 people in 37 countries this year. It concluded that the US president and his policies "are broadly unpopular around the globe". The survey shows only two of the 37 countries have a better opinion of Mr Trump than they had of his predecessor Barack Obama: Israel and Russia. But the report indicates many feel their country's relationship with the US will not change over the coming years. The key findings from the survey, carried out between 16 February and 8 May, include: People have less faith in Trump than Obama People were surveyed at the end of Barack Obama's eight-year presidency, and after the start of Mr Trump's term - they were asked if they had faith that the president would do the right thing for world affairs. This is how some US allies (and Russia) responded:
Mr Trump wasted little time in making his mark on world affairs - making clear he expected Nato countries to pay their fair share and encouraging Gulf countries to isolate Qatar in recent weeks. His presidency has shaken up old allies to the extent that German Chancellor Angela Merkel said, after she met Mr Trump, that she felt Europe could no longer "completely depend" on its old ally. In fact, it is among the traditional US allies that the confidence has dropped the most, according to the survey - while 86% of Germans had faith in Mr Obama, for example, only 11% do so in Mr Trump.

Oh no. People who want to take advantage of us or hate us, don’t like Trump.
America First. MAGA.
“...they were asked if they had faith that the president would do the right thing for world affairs.”
What exactly does that question mean? Not even a specific issue.
Note the use of Russia to pretend that somehow the Russian people out of all people on Earth, immediately knew Trump would be their puppet. Preposterous.
Note further the poll statement that most people thought their country’s relationship with America would not change. Huh?
Then add in the “poll’s” use of Angela Merkel quotes to bash Trump. Scientific? Pew polls are pure propaganda.
while 86% of Germans had faith in Mr Obama, for example, only 11% do so in Mr Trump.
I have friends overseas who couldn’t stand Trump. When I ask why, they spit back the standardized BS that comes from their local “media” which of course, mimics the American MSM. Once I start debating them, I see them coming around to a more reasonable point of view.
So I would say these “polls” are nothing more than reflections of the biased lapdog international media. That supposedly 86% of Germans would views a traitorous fool like Obambi positively, speaks for itself.
Germany was belligerent in both World Wars. And it threatens a third with its asinine, suicidal immigration policies. Taking away dissenters’ rights while forcing “migrants” on the commoners is sure fire way to start a conflict.
Wake up World
Ask the people, not the leaders.
Wow. A bar chart. With no legend so we can tell what it says.
How unhelpful.
When did illiteracy become a prerequisite for being a reporter?
“The world” prefers a Fraudulent US president who hates America and wants to take us down to THEIR level.
The Fraud was more than willing to oblige, but only had eight years of unrestricted warfare against America in which to do so.
#2 and #3 sum up this poll perfectly
It’s easy to be popular when you play “sugar daddy” to the rest of the world. It’s nice to have a President that realizes money is a limited resource and must be spent where it produces the best result.
The EUSSR, UN, UAE et al are uset at all of the uppity Americans, British, French, Poles, et al
Phew! This stinks...
The sun will rise tomorrow, and life will go on.
If some Nazi thugs are about to wipe out civilization....they will come calling upon America once again.
If some Tsunami wipes out a hundred islands in the Pacific....they will come calling upon America once again.
If some earthquake devastates Italy, and you need 200 helicopters ferrying aid into remote passes....they will come calling upon America once again.
The list goes on and on.
There is no real “Major shift”.
The planet got used to a super cool celebrity, do-nothing, look good, effeminate metro-sexual, nimnod, President, trying (and succeeding) to weaken A SUPERPOWER NATION into a surrender mode, while apologizing for being who we are.
Now, they are sad the US is actually building up confidence again as a superpower, garnering respect and pride.
You see, Europeans as well as many other nations (not Israel and Russia) have loved, for the past 50 years or so to resent and hate the US for being so proud, patriotic and successful.
They condemn symbols of the US like MacDonald’s while gulping down millions of those burgers!
They are not used to a strong American leader who is, in fact, leading!
So let them whine, deride and critique all they want as they go down as a civilization with Islam hot on their flaming tails.
This nation said, “ENOUGH” to the decline and elected a true leader who is not intimidated by their crying.
In all truth, they are crying for themselves as they de-evolve.
..... Most of The entire World views America through the filter of CNN News and all of it's Fake News and Anti American propaganda. .... Heck ..... They just happen to be the ONLY news source available to most nations on the Planet ..... So who's fault do you think is really responsible for the perception and attitude towards America?
Understandable - the population overseas is fed a steady diet of liberal news. They believe it.
(the US president and his policies “are broadly unpopular around the globe”.)
Hence why Democrats want “the globe” to come to the US, legally or illegally.
The Globe can kiss my a$$
If it takes having another America hating homosexual President to make the foreign trash like us, it is not worth the cost.
Agree. I have always contended that the opinion of foreigners is completely dependent on what they read from American news sources. Big Media HATES Trump, so the rest of the world is force fed propaganda in support of Leftists. Trump was amazingly successful in his first European Tour. They were able to see the real Donald Trump. And they LIKED HIM! But Big Media never reported much about his successes on that trip. Go figure why this old poll is being promoted again.
The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FIRST!
This study helps prove the point.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Winner!
