Ever wonder how the US President is perceived globally?? With the exception of Japan and Russia (I can be more flexible after my election) Obama has dropped significantly. Even Mexico isn't excited about him.
Keep in mind, this poll was from June, well before the 9/11/2012 debacle.

Keep in mind, this poll was from June, well before the 9/11/2012 debacle.
Global approval of President Barack Obamas policies has declined significantly since he first took office, while overall confidence in him and attitudes toward the U.S. have slipped modestly as a consequence.
Europeans and Japanese remain largely confident in Obama, albeit somewhat less so than in 2009, while Muslim publics remain largely critical. A similar pattern characterizes overall ratings for the U.S. in the EU and Japan, views are still positive, but the U.S. remains unpopular in nations such as Egypt, Jordan, Turkey and Pakistan.
Meanwhile, support for Obama has waned significantly in China. Since 2009, confidence in the American president has declined by 24 percentage points and approval of his policies has fallen 30 points. Mexicans have also soured on his policies, and many fewer express confidence in him today.
