U.S. Image Around the World
Obama lifts US image around world by kos Sat Jul 25, 2009 at 04:30:04 PM PDT US favorability ratings around the world, per Pew's survey of 25 countries. 2007 2009 US 80 88 Canada 55 68 Britain 51 69 France 39 75 Germany 30 64 Spain 34 58 Poland 61 67 Russia 41 44 Turkey 9 14 Egypt 21 27 Jordan 20 25 Lebanon 47 55 Palestine 13 15 Israel 78 71 China 34 47 India 59 76 Indonesia 29 63 Japan 61 59 Pakistan 15 16 S. Korea 58 78 Argentina 16 38 Brazil 44 61 Mexico 56 69 Kenya 87 90 Nigeria 70 79 I chose 2007 as the reference year since it was the last year that the United States was unabashedly Bush's (2008 was a transitional election year). The image of the United States has improved markedly in most parts of the world, reflecting global confidence in Barack Obama. In many countries opinions of the United States are now about as positive as they were at the beginning of the decade before George W. Bush took office. Improvements in the U.S. image have been most pronounced in Western Europe, where favorable ratings for both the nation and the American people have soared. But opinions of America have also become more positive in key countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia, as well. Signs of improvement in views of America are seen even in some predominantly Muslim countries that held overwhelmingly negative views of the United States in the Bush years. The most notable increase occurred in Indonesia, where people are well aware of Obama's family ties to the country and where favorable ratings of the U.S. nearly doubled this year. However for the most part, opinions of the U.S. among Muslims in the Middle East remain largely unfavorable, despite some positive movement in the numbers in Jordan and Egypt. Animosity toward the U.S., however, continues to run deep and unabated in Turkey, the Palestinian territories and Pakistan. Israel stands out in the poll as the only public among the 25 surveyed where the current U.S. rating is lower than in past surveys. Pew's polling indicates that Obama's Cairo speech was ill-received in Israel, hence his flagging numbers in that country, but most everywhere else -- and in particular in Western Europe -- the world is giving us a big pat on the back for electing Obama. And this isn't just a feel-good stat. Our nation's increased standing in the world has repercussions on a whole host of American interests, from economic to military. Only Republicans cherish pariah status. -- Whatever moral rules you have proposed, abide by them as they were laws, and as if you would be guilty of impiety by violating any of them, *unless* you are a conservative Republican office holder or minister. If that is your position in life, then anything goes. |
