      The list of countries that were surveyed is basically just the list of countries that the average American could possibly name. In other words, most of them are historically aligned with the west.

      I would be very interested in a complete survey. I suspect China would fare even better.

        Not only would China fare even better, I suspect that it’d be much harder to say that America’s reputation is falling apart, because it’d be clear that most (or at least a good chunk) of the world hates America no matter who is in charge. I find it weird that articles like these try to paint a global narrative using data only from countries that were favored by past admins, and which would therefore be most likely to negatively react to Trump’s isolationist agenda.

          It certainly casts light on the pro-capitalist Western bias that permeates “impartial” organizations like Pew or AP Press.
