US: A median of 75% of respondents said they have confidence that Biden will do the right thing in world affairs, compared to only 17% who could say the same for his predecessor in 2020.
America’s image abroad has rebounded under President Joe Biden with 62% of those polled in 12 countries in 2020 and 2021 by Pew Research Centre saying they have a favourable view of the country compared to 34% in the last year of former President Donald Trump.
Biden is better regarded and popular than Trump in those same 12 nations. A median of 75% of respondents said they have confidence that Biden will do the right thing in world affairs, compared to only 17% who could say the same for his predecessor in 2020, according to the poll released on Thursday.
Overall, in each of the 16 publics surveyed (the research used data from only 12 countries for comparisons, where polls were done in both 2020 and 2021), more than six-in-ten say they have confidence in Biden to do the right thing in world affairs.
Biden embarked on his first overseas trip as president on Wednesday. He will attend a G-7 summit in Cornwall, United Kingdom and then head out to Brussels for a meeting with EU leaders and NATO. He will then go on to Geneva for this first in-person meeting with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.
