June 27, 2017: President Trump Now Unpopular on Six of Seven Continents

 

6/27/17: A poll taken by the Pew Research Center shows the president has made himself wildly unpopular on six of seven continents. No polling was done among Antarctic penguins. Worldwide, only 22% of respondents say they trust Trump to do the right thing when it comes to world affairs. By comparison that figure was 64% in the last years of the Obama administration. 

The “good news” for Trump? Only 11% of Russians had a favorable view of Obama. More than half (53%) now express support for Vladimir’s bud. 

How bad has the damage to the reputation of the United States been in five short months of the Trump administration? Worldwide, 71% of respondents disapprove of Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement. Across 37 nations, 76% say they disapprove of his idea of building a wall on the border with Mexico. The rest of the world thinks our president is an obnoxious jerk.
