Poll Shows World Opinion of U.S. Has Plummeted Under Trump

HeadlineJun 27, 2017

A new poll by the Pew Research Center shows world opinion of the United States has tumbled since President Trump took office. The poll is based on surveys conducted in 37 countries. It shows that only 49 percent of those surveyed held a positive view of the United States. That’s down from 64 percent at the end of the Obama presidency. The poll also shows world opinion overwhelmingly disapproves of a number of Trump’s key policies, including withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris climate accord, imposing a Muslim travel ban and building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
