How are we on terms with Russia, Israel, China, etc..? Our relations are worse with almost every nation in the world.
You have a snappy graph showing me wrong. LOL!!!
"Based on interviewing conducted April through June, this year's results show two significant findings compared with the trend over the three previous years.
- First, the percentage of Russians who say they don't have an opinion of U.S. leadership has gone up significantly, from 30% in the previous three years to 47% this year.
- Second, opinion has shifted in a positive direction, even though the disapprovals continue to outweigh the approvals. The percentage disapproving this year fell to 34% and the percentage approving rose to 20%, meaning that the uptick in the percentage of Russians with no opinion of American leadership strongly correlates with a decrease in the percentage who disapproves."
"Israel–United States relations are a very important factor in the United States government's overall policy in the Middle East, and Congress has placed considerable importance on the maintenance of a close and supportive relationship.
The main expression of Congressional support for Israel has been foreign aid. Since 1985, it has provided nearly US$3 billion in grants annually to Israel, with Israel being the largest annual recipient of American aid from 1976 to 2004 and the largest cumulative recipient of aid ($121 billion, not inflation-adjusted) since World War II."
Poll Shows That Israel is a Staunch American Ally
"The two countries remain in dispute over territorial issues in the South China Sea. At the annual Strategic and Economic Dialogue in 2014, both countries confirmed that they wanted to improve their relationship. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry stated that the United States did not seek to contain China, while Chinese President Xi Jinping stated that a confrontation between the two countries would be a disaster.
Public opinion between both countries tends to fluctuate around 40 to 50 percent. As of 2015, China's public opinion of the U.S. is at 44%, while the United States' public opinion of China is significantly lower at 38%. The highest recorded favorable opinion of the United States was at 58% (2010) and the lowest at 38% (2007). While the highest recorded favorable opinion of China was at 52% (2006) and the lowest at 35% (2014)"
