When traveling abroad, Americans are often reminded that many people don’t love the United States. In fact, some seem to dislike or even hate the world’s superpower. But shouldn’t a president who is popular around the world improve America’s image? Sure, but President Barack Obama hasn’t improved the global view of the US. At least not yet.
According to a new poll by WorldPublicOpinion.org, opinions about the US and its role in the world remain about as negative as before the election. While 61 percent rate Obama positively, only 39 percent give the United States a “mostly positive” score.
