More than six-in-ten adults view the U.S. negatively in neighboring Canada and Mexico, as do majorities in Australia, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ratings of the U.S. have dropped significantly in 15 countries since last year.<\/strong> One of the largest decreases is in Mexico, where 29% have a favorable view, compared with 61% in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Canadians have also become much less likely to view the U.S. favorably (34% vs. 54% in 2024).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Views of the U.S. have not changed significantly since last year in Argentina, Greece, Hungary, India, South Africa and the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>And<\/strong> <strong>in Israel, Nigeria and Turkey, the share with a positive opinion of the U.S. has increased since last year.<\/strong> Despite this rise in favorability, Turkey still has one of the <em>most negative<\/em> assessments of the U.S., with only a quarter of adults viewing the country favorably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"views-by-age\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Views by age<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In most countries surveyed, adults under 35 have a more positive opinion of the U.S. than those ages 50 and older. One of the largest age gaps is in Brazil, where 73% of younger adults view the U.S. favorably, compared with 37% of older adults. There is also a large difference in Turkey (42% vs. 13%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"views-by-ideology\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Views by ideology<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People who place themselves on the ideological right tend to rate the U.S. more favorably than those on the left. In Israel, for example, 97% of those on the right have a positive opinion of the U.S., compared with 55% of people on the left. (Notably, 51% of Israelis place themselves on the ideological right, a relatively large share compared with most other nations surveyed.) There is also a large ideological divide in Australia, where 60% of those on the right view the U.S. positively, compared with 12% of those on the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"views-by-right-wing-party-support\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Views by right-wing party support<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Europe, people with a favorable opinion of right-wing populist parties are especially likely to view the U.S. positively. For example, 63% of Alternative for Germany (AfD) supporters express a favorable view of the U.S., compared with 25% of Germans who do not support AfD. (For more on how we define populist parties, read <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2025\/06\/11\/appendix-b-us-image-2025\/\">Appendix B<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outside Europe, supporters of some right-wing parties also hold more favorable views of the U.S. For example, nearly seven-in-ten Argentines who support La Libertad Avanza \u2013 the party of President Javier Milei \u2013 rate the U.S. positively, compared with 37% of nonsupporters. U.S. favorability is also particularly high among supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro\u2019s Liberal Party, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s Likud Party and former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol\u2019s People Power Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;do-people-see-the-u-s-or-china-as-the-top-global-economy&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"do-people-see-the-u-s-or-china-as-the-top-global-economy\">Do people see the U.S. or China as the top global economy?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-640-wide is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/?attachment_id=261701\"><img data-dominant-color=\"d0d3cc\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2025\/06\/gap_2025_06_11_us-image-2025_01_03.png?resize=480,839 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2025\/06\/gap_2025_06_11_us-image-2025_01_03.png?resize=782,1367 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2025\/06\/gap_2025_06_11_us-image-2025_01_03.png?resize=840,1468 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"1118\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2025\/06\/gap_2025_06_11_us-image-2025_01_03.png?w=640\" alt=\"A horizontal stacked bar chart showing who adults say is the world\u2019s leading economic power.\" class=\"wp-image-261701 not-transparent\" style=\"--dominant-color: #d0d3cc; width:420px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When asked which is the world\u2019s top economic power \u2013 the U.S., China, Japan or the countries of the European Union \u2013 people in eight countries tend to name the U.S. More say China is the top economy in 12 countries. And in four, about equal shares name the U.S. and China. Relatively few name the EU or Japan as the leading economic power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than eight-in-ten adults in South Korea, and roughly two-thirds in Japan, consider the U.S. the world\u2019s top economy.

Following that election, people outside of the U.S. are roughly split on whether its democracy is working well or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adults in Hungary, Israel, Kenya and Nigeria have the most positive views of U.S. democracy, with roughly three-quarters or more saying it works well. And majorities in Brazil, India, Indonesia, Poland and South Korea agree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But roughly half or more in most European countries, Australia, Mexico and Canada say democracy in the U.S. is functioning poorly.
