Throughout Donald Trump\u2019s presidency, publics around the world held the United States in low regard, with most opposed to his foreign policies. This was especially true among key American allies and partners. Now, a new Pew Research Center survey of 16 publics finds a significant uptick in ratings for the U.S., with strong support for Biden and several of his major policy initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"border-width:1px;padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);--block-gap: inherit\" class=\"is-style-alternate wp-block-prc-block-collapsible has-background has-ui-beige-very-light-background-color has-border-color has-ui-beige-dark-border-color\" id=\"how-we-did-this\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/collapsible&quot;}\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;collapsibleId&quot;:&quot;how-we-did-this&quot;,&quot;isOpen&quot;:false}\" data-wp-class--is-open=\"context.isOpen\" data-wp-init--scroll-into-view=\"callbacks.onInitScrollIntoView\"><div class=\"wp-block-prc-block-collapsible__title\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.onClick\"><div>How we did this<\/div><button class=\"wp-block-prc-block-collapsible__icon\"><span data-wp-bind--hidden=\"context.isOpen\"><i class=\"icon icon-library__light icon__circle-plus\"><svg style=\"width: 1em; height: 1em;\"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/plugins\/prc-icon-library\/build\/icons\/sprites\/light.svg#circle-plus\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i><\/span><span data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!context.isOpen\" hidden><i class=\"icon icon-library__light icon__circle-minus\"><svg style=\"width: 1em; height: 1em;\"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/plugins\/prc-icon-library\/build\/icons\/sprites\/light.svg#circle-minus\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i><\/span><\/button><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-prc-block-collapsible__content\">\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This analysis focuses on public opinion of the United States in 16 advanced economies in North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.

Bush\u2019s administration, and when Trump entered the White House in 2017, ratings declined sharply. This year, U.S. favorability is up again: Whereas a median of just 34% across 12 nations had a favorable overall opinion of the U.S. last year, a median of 62% now hold this view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In France, for example, just 31% expressed a positive opinion of the U.S. last year, matching the poor ratings from March 2003, at the height of U.S.-France tensions over the Iraq War. This year, 65% see the U.S. positively, approaching the high ratings that characterized the Obama era. Improvements of 25 percentage points or more are also found in Germany, Japan, Italy, the Netherlands and Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, attitudes toward the U.S. vary considerably across the publics surveyed. For instance, only about half in Singapore and Australia have a favorable opinion of the U.S., and just 42% of New Zealanders hold this view. And while 61% see the U.S. favorably in Taiwan, this is actually down slightly from 68% <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2020\/05\/12\/in-taiwan-views-of-mainland-china-mostly-negative\/\">in a 2019 poll<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-640-wide\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-35856\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2021\/06\/10\/americas-image-abroad-rebounds-with-transition-from-trump-to-biden\/pg_2021-06-10_us-image_00-02-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f4f4f2\" data-has-transparency=\"true\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f4f4f2;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-02.png?resize=480,600 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-02.png?resize=782,978 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-02.png?resize=960,1200 960w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-02.png?resize=1200,1500 1200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-02.png?resize=1280,1600 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"800\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-02.png?w=640\" alt=\"Chart shows U.S. favorability sees one of its steepest recoveries in years from 2020 to 2021\" class=\"wp-image-35856 has-transparency\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-310-wide\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-35851\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2021\/06\/10\/americas-image-abroad-rebounds-with-transition-from-trump-to-biden\/pg_2021-06-10_us-image_00-03-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"efeeed\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #efeeed;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-03.png?resize=480,788 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-03.png?resize=620,1018 620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"509\" width=\"310\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-03.png?w=310\" alt=\"Chart shows a big shift in views of the U.S. president\" class=\"wp-image-35851 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In most countries polled, people make a stark distinction between Biden and Trump as world leaders. Nearly eight-in-ten Germans (78%) have confidence in Biden to do the right thing in world affairs; a year ago, just 10% said this about Trump. Similar differences are found in Sweden, Belgium and the Netherlands, and in all nations where a trend is available from 2020 there is a difference of at least 40 percentage points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As is the case with views of the United States as a whole, confidence in U.S. presidents has shifted dramatically over the past two decades, especially in Western Europe. In Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain and France \u2013 four nations Pew Research Center has surveyed consistently \u2013 ratings for Bush and Trump were similarly low during their presidencies, while this year confidence in Biden is fairly similar to the ratings Obama received while in office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-640-wide\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-35843\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2021\/06\/10\/americas-image-abroad-rebounds-with-transition-from-trump-to-biden\/pg_2021-06-10_us-image_00-04-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"edece8\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #edece8;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-04.png?resize=480,313 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-04.png?resize=782,510 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-04.png?resize=960,626 960w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-04.png?resize=1200,782 1200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-04.png?resize=1280,834 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"417\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-04.png?w=640\" alt=\"Chart shows western Europeans\u2019 confidence in U.S. president surges as Biden enters office\" class=\"wp-image-35843 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-420-wide\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-35838\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2021\/06\/10\/americas-image-abroad-rebounds-with-transition-from-trump-to-biden\/pg_2021-06-10_us-image_00-05-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"e0e3df\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #e0e3df;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-05.png?resize=480,455 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-05.png?resize=782,741 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-05.png?resize=840,796 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"398\" width=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-05.png?w=420\" alt=\"Chart shows Biden gets higher ratings than Trump on personal, leadership traits\" class=\"wp-image-35838 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden\u2019s high ratings are tied in part to positive assessments of his personal characteristics, and here again the contrast with Trump is stark. Looking at 12 countries polled during the first year of both their presidencies, a median of 77% describe Biden as well-qualified to be president, compared with 16% who felt this way about Trump. Few think of Biden as arrogant or dangerous, while large majorities applied those terms to Trump. Assessments of the two leaders are more similar when it comes to being a strong leader, although even on this measure, Biden gets much more positive reviews than his predecessor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-310-wide\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-35833\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2021\/06\/10\/americas-image-abroad-rebounds-with-transition-from-trump-to-biden\/pg_2021-06-10_us-image_00-06-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"ecedec\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #ecedec;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-06.png?resize=480,881 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-06.png?resize=620,1138 620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"569\" width=\"310\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-06.png?w=310\" alt=\"Chart shows Biden\u2019s approach to global climate agreements significantly more popular than Trump\u2019s\" class=\"wp-image-35833 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">High levels of confidence in Biden are also tied to favorable views of his policies, several of which have emphasized multilateralism and reversed Trump administration decisions. The current survey examines attitudes toward four of the Biden administration\u2019s key policies and finds widespread support for all four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A median of 89% across the 16 publics surveyed approve of the U.S. rejoining the World Health Organization (WHO), which the U.S. <a href=\"https:\/\/fas.org\/sgp\/crs\/row\/R46575.pdf\">withdrew from<\/a> during Trump\u2019s presidency. A median of 85% also support the U.S. rejoining the Paris climate agreement. Trump\u2019s withdrawal from the Paris agreement was met with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/science-environment-54797743\">widespread criticism<\/a>, and it was <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2017\/06\/26\/u-s-image-suffers-as-publics-around-world-question-trumps-leadership\/#most-disapprove-of-trumps-policies\">overwhelmingly unpopular<\/a> in the surveys the Center conducted during his presidency. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2020\/01\/08\/little-support-for-trumps-international-policies\/#trumps-climate-change-policy\">in 2019<\/a> just 8% in France approved of Trump\u2019s plans to withdraw support for international climate change agreements, compared with 91% who now back Biden\u2019s reentry into the agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Support for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/01\/31\/us\/politics\/biden-democracy-summit.html\">Biden administration\u2019s proposal<\/a> to organize a summit of democracies from around the world is also widespread, with a median of 85% saying they approve.

Trust in the U.S. president was historically low in most countries surveyed during Trump\u2019s presidency. In many cases, however, the share who have confidence in Biden is not as high as the share who had confidence in Obama at the start or end of his presidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Germany is a good example of this pattern. In 2020, only 10% of Germans had confidence in Trump to do the right thing in world affairs (matching a previous all-time low earlier in Trump\u2019s presidency). Once Biden took office, confidence in the U.S. president increased by 68 percentage points in Germany, but it is still lower there than the all-time high of 93% in 2009, Obama\u2019s first year in office. A similar trend can be seen in Sweden, the Netherlands, France, Italy, Canada, Australia, South Korea and Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-640-wide\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-35738\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2021\/06\/10\/americas-image-abroad-rebounds-with-transition-from-trump-to-biden\/pg_2021-06-10_us-image_00-022-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"eeefef\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #eeefef;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-022.png?resize=480,375 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-022.png?resize=782,611 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-022.png?resize=960,750 960w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-022.png?resize=1200,938 1200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-022.png?resize=1280,1000 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"500\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-022.png?w=640\" alt=\"Chart shows confidence in U.S. presidents\" class=\"wp-image-35738 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, in Greece, confidence in the U.S. president is the highest it has been since Pew Research Center first asked this question there. A much higher share of Greeks have confidence in Biden compared with Obama in 2016 and earlier. Notably, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-greece-egypt-usa\/greece-egypt-to-welcome-more-decisive-u-s-involvement-under-biden-greek-pm-says-idUSKBN27R1KU\">Biden has shared<\/a> a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/usa-greece-int\/biden-tells-greek-pm-he-hopes-for-eastern-mediterranean-stability-white-house-idUSKBN2BI00R\">positive relationship<\/a> with Greek Prime Minister <a>Kyriakos Mitsotakis<\/a>, and Greeks are more than twice as likely now to say the U.S. takes their country\u2019s interests into account when making policy decisions (53%) than they were when Obama was president (20% in 2013).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;biden-more-trusted-than-putin-and-xi-less-trusted-than-merkel&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-prc-block-chapter wp-block-heading\" id=\"biden-more-trusted-than-putin-and-xi-less-trusted-than-merkel\">Biden more trusted than Putin and Xi, less trusted than Merkel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Publics express much more confidence in Biden than in Russian President Vladimir Putin or Chinese President Xi Jinping. Biden also fares well in comparison with French President Emmanuel Macron, but his ratings tend to trail those of German Chancellor Angela Merkel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A median of 77% have confidence in Merkel to do the right thing in world affairs. She receives somewhat higher ratings in the Netherlands, Sweden, Spain, Belgium, France, New Zealand and Australia than in her home country, though a large majority of Germans still express confidence in the chancellor. Of the 16 publics surveyed, Greece is the only one where fewer than half hold this view. Faith in Merkel has also increased since the summer of 2020 in six of the 12 countries where data is available for both years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-640-wide\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-35741\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2021\/06\/10\/americas-image-abroad-rebounds-with-transition-from-trump-to-biden\/pg_2021-06-10_us-image_00-023-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"e2e4d2\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #e2e4d2;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-023.png?resize=480,380 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-023.png?resize=782,618 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-023.png?resize=960,759 960w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-023.png?resize=1200,949 1200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-023.png?resize=1280,1012 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"506\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-023.png?w=640\" alt=\"Chart shows Biden, Merkel and Macron score high in confidence relative to Putin and Xi\" class=\"wp-image-35741 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A median of 63% have confidence in Macron when it comes to his handling of world affairs. Roughly eight-in-ten or more hold this view in Greece and Sweden. As with Merkel, Macron\u2019s ratings in his home country are positive, but more subdued than in other publics; 53% of people in France trust the French president to do what is right in international affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Medians of only around one-in-five express confidence in Putin or Xi. Singapore and Greece are the only countries where more than half trust either president; 55% in both Greece and Singapore say they have confidence in Putin, and 70% in Singapore say the same of Xi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ratings for the Chinese president have been <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2020\/10\/06\/unfavorable-views-of-china-reach-historic-highs-in-many-countries\/\">consistently low<\/a> in many countries, particularly across the Western European nations surveyed, since this question was first asked in 2014. Opinion of Putin in these countries extends back even further and shows a similarly negative pattern there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;biden-seen-as-well-qualified-to-be-president&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-prc-block-chapter wp-block-heading\" id=\"biden-seen-as-well-qualified-to-be-president\">Biden seen as well-qualified to be president<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reflecting high levels of confidence in the U.S. president, overwhelming majorities say Biden is well-qualified for the position, and many see him as a strong leader. Very few view Biden as either dangerous or arrogant. And in most cases, these views are in stark contrast to views of his predecessor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A median of 77% think Biden is well-qualified for his role as president, ranging from 64% in Japan to 84% in Sweden. Among many of these same publics polled in 2017, only a third or fewer saw Trump as well-qualified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-420-wide\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-35746\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2021\/06\/10\/americas-image-abroad-rebounds-with-transition-from-trump-to-biden\/pg_2021-06-10_us-image_00-024-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"efeeed\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #efeeed;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-024.png?resize=480,621 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-024.png?resize=782,1011 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-024.png?resize=840,1086 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"543\" width=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-024.png?w=420\" alt=\"Chart shows widespread view that Biden is well-qualified to be president, and many see him as a strong leader\" class=\"wp-image-35746 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gap between perceptions of the two American presidents is especially wide in Sweden and Germany. Only 10% of Swedes thought Trump was well-qualified to be president during his first year in office. In the current survey, 84% see Biden as qualified, a 74 percentage point difference. Among Germans, 6% thought Trump was well-qualified, compared with eight-in-ten who say the same of Biden this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A difference of roughly 50 points or more on this question appears in nearly every country where data is available for both leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden and Trump are viewed the most similarly when it comes to perceptions of them as strong leaders. In 2017, relatively large shares saw <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2017\/06\/26\/worldwide-few-confident-in-trump-or-his-policies\/#trump-seen-as-strong-leader-but-not-well-qualified\">Trump as a strong leader<\/a>, even in countries where few had confidence in him to do the right thing in world affairs. In countries where data is available for both leaders, more people tend to see Biden as a strong leader, but in several countries, the difference is comparatively small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Very few people across the publics surveyed think Biden could be described as dangerous (median of 14%) or arrogant (median of 13%). This is a striking difference from how Trump was viewed early in his presidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-420-wide\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-35749\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2021\/06\/10\/americas-image-abroad-rebounds-with-transition-from-trump-to-biden\/pg_2021-06-10_us-image_00-025-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f0f0ef\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f0f0ef;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-025.png?resize=480,619 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-025.png?resize=782,1009 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-025.png?resize=840,1084 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"542\" width=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-025.png?w=420\" alt=\"Chart shows few see Biden as arrogant or dangerous, in contrast to his predecessor\" class=\"wp-image-35749 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, there is an 83-point difference in the Netherlands between those who viewed Trump as arrogant (92%) and those who currently say the same about Biden (9%). Differences of roughly 80 points or more on this question can also be seen in France, Sweden, Spain, Germany and Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, majorities in each country saw Trump as dangerous in 2017, while no more than 21% hold this view of Biden, resulting in differences of roughly 40 points or more in countries where data is available for both leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;bidens-foreign-policy-agenda-broadly-popular-across-advanced-economies&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-prc-block-chapter wp-block-heading\" id=\"bidens-foreign-policy-agenda-broadly-popular-across-advanced-economies\">Biden\u2019s foreign policy agenda broadly popular across advanced economies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Biden administration\u2019s foreign policies included on the survey enjoy widespread popularity. Of the four policies tested, the United States\u2019 reentry into the World Health Organization (WHO) garners the most approval, with a median of 89% saying they support the move. Support for this policy is most prevalent in Europe, where shares ranging from 86% to 94% approve of the U.S. returning to the organization. The move is also broadly popular in Canada and the Asia-Pacific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-640-wide\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-35722\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2021\/06\/10\/americas-image-abroad-rebounds-with-transition-from-trump-to-biden\/pg_2021-06-10_us-image_00-026-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"d7dac1\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #d7dac1;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-026.png?resize=480,409 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-026.png?resize=782,666 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-026.png?resize=960,818 960w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-026.png?resize=1200,1022 1200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-026.png?resize=1280,1090 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"545\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/06\/PG_2021.06.10_us-image_00-026.png?w=640\" alt=\"Chart shows Biden\u2019s foreign policy agenda met with widespread approval among 16 publics\" class=\"wp-image-35722 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden\u2019s decision to recommit to the Paris climate agreement is also very well received. A median of 85% approve of the U.S. rejoining the accord. Across Europe, about nine-in-ten or more across six countries polled favor the move, with respondents in the Netherlands, Germany and the UK following closely behind. Shares of roughly eight-in-ten or greater are also supportive in Canada and the Asia-Pacific region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rejoining the accord represents a reversal from former President Trump\u2019s decision to withdraw the U.S. from the agreement, a move that was <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2017\/06\/26\/worldwide-few-confident-in-trump-or-his-policies\/\">met with widespread disapproval<\/a> when Pew Research Center asked about it in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In all countries the Center surveyed both this year and four years ago, Biden\u2019s approach is considerably more popular than Trump\u2019s. For instance, in Spain, only 8% approved of Trump withdrawing support for international climate agreements in 2017, while 93% approve of the U.S. rejoining the Paris agreement this year, an 85 percentage point difference. In every country, rejoining the agreement is met with approval from shares at least four times as large as the shares who supported leaving it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to Biden\u2019s reversal of Trump-era withdrawals from international organizations and pacts, his plans for the U.S. to host a summit of democratic nations earns widespread approval. Across the 16 publics polled, a median of 85% express support for the convening, and in each, eight-in-ten or more say they favor the plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attitudes toward this policy among several publics are divided by views of American democracy. Among most publics surveyed, those who think the U.S. is a good example of democracy for other countries to follow support the summit more than those who think the U.S. has never been a good example. For instance, in Sweden, 91% of those who think the U.S. is currently setting a good example of democratic values approve of the U.S. convening leaders from other democracies, compared with 71% of those who doubt the U.S. has ever set a good example of democracy, a 20-point difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those who view the U.S. as a reliable partner are more likely to approve of the U.S. hosting a summit of democratic nations in 13 of the publics surveyed. For example, in Germany, 89% of those who think the U.S. is a reliable partner approve of this policy, whereas only 68% of those who view the U.S. as unreliable agree, a 21-point difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Approval of Biden\u2019s plan to increase the number of refugees allowed into the U.S. is also widespread. A median of about three-quarters support the change, and nowhere do fewer than six-in-ten agree with the decision. This comes as Biden reversed his initial goal to raise the refugee cap in the U.S. from the levels set by the Trump administration, but then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/biden-refugee\/2021\/05\/03\/1b833126-ac4d-11eb-ab4c-986555a1c511_story.html\">walked back the reversal<\/a> amid criticism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new survey of 16 publics finds a significant uptick in ratings for the U.S., with strong support for Joe Biden and several of his major policy initiatives.
