World's confidence in US leadership under Trump at new low, poll finds

In just under half of the world’s countries – 65 out of 134 – US standing collapsed, by 10 percentage points or more. Global confidence in US leadership has fallen to a new low, and the country now ranks below China in worldwide approval ratings, according to a new Gallup poll. The survey of opinion in 134 countries showed a record collapse in approval for the US role in the world, from 48% under Obama to 30% after one year of Donald Trump – the lowest level Gallup has recorded since beginning its global leadership poll over a decade ago.
