The report explores views of the United States\u2019 role in the world, including as an economic power, and perceptions of American society. This is the first year since 2019 that the Global Attitudes Survey has included countries from Africa and Latin America due to <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2020\/04\/30\/the-coronavirus-pandemics-impact-on-pew-research-centers-global-polling\/\">the coronavirus outbreak<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This report draws on nationally representative surveys of 27,285 adults conducted from Feb. 20 to May 22, 2023. All surveys were conducted over the phone with adults in Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, South Korea, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Surveys were conducted face to face in Hungary, Poland, India, Indonesia, Israel, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. In Australia, we used a mixed-mode probability-based online panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/PG_2023.06.27_US-image_TOPLINE.pdf\">questions used for the report<\/a>, along with responses, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2023\/06\/27\/us-image-2023-methodology\/\">survey methodology<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the third year of his presidency, U.S. President Joe Biden receives mostly positive reviews from publics around the world. Across 23 countries in a new Pew Research Center survey, a median of 54% express confidence in Biden, while 39% say they lack confidence in him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-420-wide\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-34932\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2023\/06\/27\/international-views-of-biden-and-u-s-largely-positive\/pg_2023-06-27_us-image_00-01-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"e5e7e3\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #e5e7e3;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/06\/PG_2023.06.27_US-image_00-01.png?resize=480,625 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/06\/PG_2023.06.27_US-image_00-01.png?resize=782,1018 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/06\/PG_2023.06.27_US-image_00-01.png?resize=840,1094 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"547\" width=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/06\/PG_2023.06.27_US-image_00-01.png?w=420\" alt=\"Chart shows views of the U.S., its president and global role\" class=\"wp-image-34932 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, overall views of the United States are largely positive: A median of 59% give the U.S. a favorable rating, including around seven-in-ten or more in Poland, Israel, South Korea, Nigeria, Japan and Kenya. Hungary is the only country surveyed where fewer than half see the U.S. favorably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">America\u2019s actions on the world stage have often shaped its global image, and as the survey highlights, public opinion about U.S. foreign policy is often complex, with people seeing both positive and negative sides to American power. Overwhelmingly, people believe the U.S. interferes in the affairs of other countries \u2013 a median of 82% say it does this a great deal or fair amount \u2013 but most also believe the U.S. contributes to peace and stability around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">International public opinion is essentially divided over how much the U.S. considers the interests of other countries when it is making foreign policy decisions. However, in roughly half of the nations surveyed, the share of the public that thinks the U.S. does consider other countries is higher than it has ever been since Pew Research Center started asking this question more than two decades ago.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The survey also explores other aspects of American power, including elements of U.S. soft power. America\u2019s technology, universities, military and entertainment are all seen as being the best or above average when compared with other wealthy nations, although the U.S. receives mixed reviews for its standard of living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perceptions of American economic power have increased in several countries over the past few years, and respondents tend to name the U.S., rather than China, as the world\u2019s leading economic power. However, in a number of European countries, as well as Australia, China is considered the top global economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These findings come from a new Pew Research Center survey conducted from Feb. 20 to May 22, 2023, among 27,285 people in 23 countries, many of which are key U.S. allies. Below are some of the other findings regarding America\u2019s overall image, ratings of Biden, views of U.S. foreign policy, American soft power and American economic power.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"overall-ratings-for-the-u-s\">Overall ratings for the U.S.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the countries surveyed, Poland, where positive views of the U.S. have <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2022\/06\/22\/spotlight-on-poland-negative-views-of-russia-surge-but-ratings-for-u-s-nato-eu-improve\/\">increased substantially<\/a> since Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, gives the U.S. its highest rating: 93% of Poles express a favorable opinion. The U.S. gets its lowest marks in another central European country: Hungary, where just 44% of adults offer a positive view, down from 55% in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elsewhere, <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2023\/06\/27\/overall-opinion-of-the-u-s\/\">views of the U.S.<\/a> have mostly remained stable since last year, although favorable ratings have declined somewhat in Sweden, South Korea, Canada and Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current study includes eight <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldbank.org\/en\/country\/mic\/overview\">middle-income nations<\/a> that Pew Research Center has not surveyed since 2019, before the outbreak of COVID-19, due to the <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2020\/04\/30\/the-coronavirus-pandemics-impact-on-pew-research-centers-global-polling\/\">challenges of conducting face-to-face interviews<\/a> during the pandemic. In all eight countries, there has been a significant increase in U.S. favorability since 2019. This is similar to the pattern found in <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2021\/06\/10\/americas-image-abroad-rebounds-with-transition-from-trump-to-biden\/\">Pew Research Center surveys<\/a> over the past several years, which documented a decline in America\u2019s global image during Donald Trump\u2019s presidency and a rebound in ratings for the U.S. following the election of Joe Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-640-wide\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-34934\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2023\/06\/27\/international-views-of-biden-and-u-s-largely-positive\/pg_2023-06-27_us-image_00-02-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"ebece6\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #ebece6;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/06\/PG_2023.06.27_US-image_00-02.png?resize=480,402 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/06\/PG_2023.06.27_US-image_00-02.png?resize=782,655 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/06\/PG_2023.06.27_US-image_00-02.png?resize=960,804 960w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/06\/PG_2023.06.27_US-image_00-02.png?resize=1200,1005 1200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/06\/PG_2023.06.27_US-image_00-02.png?resize=1280,1072 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"536\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/06\/PG_2023.06.27_US-image_00-02.png?w=640\" alt=\"Chart shows Favorable views of the United States\" class=\"wp-image-34934 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"attitudes-toward-biden\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Attitudes toward Biden<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with ratings for the U.S. overall, <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2023\/06\/27\/confidence-in-biden-to-handle-world-affairs\/\">Biden gets his highest marks<\/a> in Poland, where 83% voice confidence in his leadership of world affairs. Roughly seven-in-ten or more also express confidence in Biden in Sweden, Kenya, Nigeria, Israel, the Netherlands and Germany. Majorities in about half of the countries polled give Biden positive ratings, although opinion of Biden is, on balance, more negative than positive in NATO allies Italy, Greece, France and Spain. And he gets his lowest ratings in Hungary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In middle-income nations in Latin America, Africa and Asia, Biden receives significantly higher marks than his predecessor. For instance, 44% of Brazilians have confidence in Biden, compared with 28% for Trump in 2019. And in some countries where Trump was relatively popular, ratings for Biden are higher. For example, 71% of Nigerians say they have confidence in Biden, up from 58% for Trump four years ago. And 64% of Indians give Biden positive marks, compared with the 56% voicing confidence for Trump in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-640-wide\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-34937\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2023\/06\/27\/international-views-of-biden-and-u-s-largely-positive\/pg_2023-06-27_us-image_00-03-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"efefeb\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #efefeb;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/06\/PG_2023.06.27_US-image_00-03.png?resize=480,501 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/06\/PG_2023.06.27_US-image_00-03.png?resize=782,816 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/06\/PG_2023.06.27_US-image_00-03.png?resize=960,1002 960w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/06\/PG_2023.06.27_US-image_00-03.png?resize=1200,1253 1200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/06\/PG_2023.06.27_US-image_00-03.png?resize=1280,1336 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"668\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/06\/PG_2023.06.27_US-image_00-03.png?w=640\" alt=\"Chart shows Biden significantly more popular than Trump in middle-income nations\" class=\"wp-image-34937 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"americas-role-on-the-world-stage\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">America\u2019s role on the world stage<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since 2002, we have periodically included a question asking respondents whether they believe the U.S. takes into account the interests of countries like theirs when making foreign policy decisions. And typically we\u2019ve found that people <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2018\/10\/01\/americas-international-image-continues-to-suffer\/#few-say-the-u-s-considers-their-countrys-interests\">do not think<\/a> the U.S. considers their interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Views are divided in the current survey, with a median of 49% across 23 countries saying the <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2023\/06\/27\/the-united-states-role-in-world-affairs\/\">U.S. takes into account their interests<\/a> a great deal or fair amount, and 50% saying it considers their interests not very much or not at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, in many nations, the share of the public that thinks the U.S. listens to countries like theirs has been on the rise, and in 12 countries, it is at the highest point we\u2019ve seen in any of our surveys.

Across eight nations, a median of 68% say U.S. investment has benefited their countries\u2019 economies a great deal or a fair amount. Assessments are especially positive in Nigeria, Kenya, India and Mexico, where seven-in-ten or more hold this view.
