Gallup: U.S. Leadership Remains Unpopular Worldwide
* Global leadership approval 33% for U.S. in Trump's third year
* Germany top-rated leadership, with 44% approval
* China's approval rating 32%, Russia unchanged at 30%
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In the third year of Donald Trump's presidency, a new Gallup report shows that despite marginal gains, the image of U.S. leadership started the new decade in a weaker position globally than at most points under the past two presidents.
After tumbling to a record-low 30% during the first year of Trump's presidency, the image of U.S. leadership was not much better in the third year of his term. The median global approval rating for U.S. leadership across 135 countries and areas edged up to 33% in 2019. This rating is slightly higher than the previous low under Trump, but it is still one percentage point lower than the previous low of 34% under former President George W. Bush in 2008.
