World's Approval of U.S. Leadership Drops to New Low
http://news.gallup.com/poll/225761/world-approval-leadership-drops-new-low.aspx
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- One year into Donald Trump's presidency, the image of U.S. leadership is weaker worldwide than it was under his two predecessors. Median approval of U.S. leadership across 134 countries and areas stands at a new low of 30%, according to a new Gallup report.
The most recent approval rating, based on Gallup World Poll surveys conducted between March and November last year, is down 18 percentage points from the 48% approval rating in the last year of President Barack Obama's administration, and is four points lower than the previous low of 34% in the last year of President George W. Bush's administration.
...
The relatively fragile image of U.S. leadership in 2017 reflects large and widespread losses in approval and relatively few gains. Out of 134 countries, U.S. leadership approval ratings declined substantially -- by 10 percentage points or more -- in 65 countries that include many longtime U.S. allies and partners.
...
We are no longer the world leader... and it only took a year...

That is not a surprise at all.
It is pretty sad.
I think I might move to Norway.
It's not a $hithole country.

Gallup deals in facts and numbers, so that automatically means they are a biased, liberal shill that spouts "fake news"... 
I've seen the "reasoning" before. The questions are biased, they only ask the people they know will give the answers they want, they only report the responses they want, etc, etc.
Conspiracy theories are easier to accept than the Occam's razor that people just don't like IQ45...

Not surprised. I have not seen anything positive reported about him (or much of the US) since he was elected. I also dealt with this negativity during GWB’s term.
And to be fair, there were a few negative things reported on Obama, but nothing like what is happening now.
Another interesting thing is that this university year, the numbers were down in the American studies department. Someone in my department commented that this happens when things are unfavorable in the US.

Sadly, not surprised at all. We have a giant, incompetent, lunatic at the helm. We're quickly becoming a laughing stock.
