Of the 34 countries in which the survey was conducted, Poland was the country where people had the most favorable view of the United States, with more than 85 percent. Tunisia was the country with the least favorable view.

Of 24 countries surveyed on their opinions of the United States in 2025, 19 countries saw favorability ratings drop compared to the previous year. The largest factor influencing this change was the re-election of Donald Trump, who returned to office in late January. Trump's first few months back in the Oval Office saw a major shift in trade policy (tariffs), immigration, and international conflicts, which have greatly impacted foreign perceptions of the United States. Mexico, Sweden, Poland, and Canada all saw declines of ***percent or more compared to 2024, largely driven by the new Trump administration's changing policy on trade tariffs, migration, and deportations, and the Russia-Ukraine War. Israel and Nigeria both saw the largest positive change, and these were the two countries with the most positive overall view of the United States.

According to a July 2025 survey, Donald Trump's favorability among Republicans was strong, with 60 percent viewing him very favorably and 29 percent somewhat favorably. This overwhelming support from his party base contrasts sharply with Democrats, of whom 90 percent viewed Trump very unfavorably. Independents were more divided, with 28 percent expressing some degree of favorability towards the former president. Electoral college victory Trump's popularity among Republicans translated into electoral success in the 2024 presidential election. He secured 312 electoral votes, surpassing the 270 needed to win the presidency. This victory came as Trump won all seven swing states, some by significant margins, despite pre-election polls showing only a slight lead in most battleground states. Increased republican support The 2024 election saw Republicans gain ground across the country. Every state reported an increase in Republican votes compared to 2020, with New York showing the largest gain of 6.43 percent. New Jersey and Florida also saw significant increases of nearly five percent. This surge in Republican support led to Trump flipping six states that he had lost in the previous election, contributing to his decisive victory.

As of January 2025, about 41 percent of Americans approved of the way Joe Biden was handling his job as president. This is a slight increase from the previous month, when the President's approval rating sat at 40.3. Congressional Approval In March 2021, congressional approval reached a 12-year-high, with a 36 percent approval rating. However, congressional approval decreased in the following months. Approval ratings for Congress tend to be quite low, as many Americans have low trust in politicians and institutions in the country. The high approval rating in March 2021 came after Congress passed a COVID-19 relief bill to provide financial assistance to Americans during the pandemic. Handling of the pandemic Biden’s higher approval rating early in his presidency can, in-part, be attributed to how he tackled COVID-19. Taking a more hands-on approach in comparison to his predecessor, Biden supported mandated mask-wearing and expedited vaccines nationwide. About 40 percent of Americans either somewhat or strongly approved of the way the President was handling the virus, while about 45 percent either somewhat disapproved or strongly disapproved of his actions. As the two major parties disagreed on how to tackle the pandemic, existing divisions were further entrenched. A majority of the strong support came from Democrats, while most of the disapproval came from Republicans. Despite the low rating, the president's party performed relatively well at the 2022 midterm elections. While the economic situation in the United States was a large part of pre-election discourse, voters were more motivated by abortion rights and democracy.

Of the 24 global leaders listed, Narendra Modi of India was the figure with the highest domestic approval rating, at 75 percent. Of the five names at the top of this list, the leaders of South Korea, Canada, and Australia are included, all of whom were elected or re-elected to power in 2025. Notably, Germany's Friedrich Merz won what was arguably the year's most high-profile election, but his approval rating stands at just 34 percent, in contrast to 58 percent disapproval. At the bottom of the list, three of the four lowest-ranked names are leaders of G7 countries: the UK, Japan, and France. Emmanual Macron in particular has just 18 percent approval and 74 percent disapproval.

According to a survey conducted in December 2024, around 39 percent of Americans had a very unfavorable view of Donald Trump, while 30 percent of Americans held a very favorable view. Donald Trump was elected President of the United States in November 2024. The former president will be sworn in for a second term on January 20, 2025. Shifting perceptions of trustworthiness Despite the significant portion of Americans who view Trump unfavorably, his perceived trustworthiness has shown improvement over time. A September 2024 survey found that 41 percent of registered voters considered Trump honest and trustworthy, marking an increase from 38 percent in 2016. Policy proposals and partisan support Trump's policy proposals have continued to garner strong support from his Republican base while facing opposition from Democrats. An August 2024 survey showed roughly 85 percent of Republicans backing Trump's plan to arrest and deport thousands of illegal immigrants, compared to only 22 percent of Democrats. This stark partisan divide on key policy issues reflects the broader polarization in Trump's favorability ratings.

Economic challenges

Following a noteworthy economic expansion in 2021, the nation currently grapples with apprehensions centered around mounting government debt, an adverse economic trajectory, and a surge in unemployment rates. Stemming from an economic downturn, marked by a reduction in domestic demand and an uptick in inflation, the population harbors negative perceptions towards the present presidential administration. Adding to these challenges, the Chilean peso experiences pressure against the US dollar, while the current fiscal position displays a deficit, indicating greater outflows of funds compared to national earnings. Despite these concerns, the country is anticipated to experience prosperity in the forthcoming years.

Crime in Chile

Although Chile boasts the lowest homicide rate among its Latin American counterparts, crime continues to be a paramount concern for the nation's populace. A surge in violent crimes, particularly armed robberies and urban delinquency, transpired over the past year. This distressing trend even led to fatal incidents involving police officers on the streets. Furthermore, drug-related offenses have escalated, generating substantial issues that impact the broader population due to collateral disputes. Added to this is the erosion of public trust in entities meant to ensure safety, such as police forces and governmental positions, as corruption allegations have surfaced against them.

As of June 2025, 56 percent of people in Great Britain thought that it was wrong to leave the European Union, compared with 31 percent who thought it was the right decision. During this time period, the share of people who regret Brexit has been slightly higher than those who support it, except for some polls in Spring 2021, which showed higher levels of support for Brexit. Is Bregret setting in? Since late July 2022, the share of people who regret Brexit in these surveys has consistently been above 50 percent. Additionally, a survey from January 2025 highlighted that most people in the UK thought that Brexit had had a mainly negative impact, especially on the cost of living and the economy. Despite there being a clear majority of voters who now regret Brexit, there is as yet no particular future relationship with the EU that has overwhelming support. As of late 2023, 31 percent of Britons wanted to rejoin the EU, while 30 percent merely wanted to improve trade relations and not rejoin either the EU or the single market. Leave victory in 2016 defied the polls In the actual referendum, which took place on June 23, 2016, Leave won 51.9 percent of the votes and Remain 48.1 percent, after several polls in the run-up to the referendum put Remain slightly ahead. Remain were anticipated to win until early results from North East England suggested that Leave had performed far better than expected, with this pattern replicated throughout the country. This event was repeated somewhat in the U.S. election of that year, which saw Donald Trump win several key swing states such as Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, despite predictions that these states would vote for Hillary Clinton.
