Global Opinion of Obama Slips, International Policies Faulted
Overview

Global approval of President Barack Obama’s 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.

The Obama era has coincided with major changes in international perceptions of American power – especially U.S. economic power. The global financial crisis and the steady rise of China have led many to declare China the world’s economic leader, and this trend is especially strong among some of America’s major European allies.

Whoops there goes another rubber tree plant.

Obama's foreign policy consisted of killing OBL and declaring the Arab Spring..............he takes all the credit for both. Now the international community is looking at his lack of foreign policy experience.

Pakistan hates him, Lybia hates him, Israel hates him, China hates him, there are lots more. He has created chaos around the world. Well Hilliary has helped but he doesn't want to give her any credit.

Not to worry. As soon as Barry gets done campaigning in all 57 states he's hopping on that big bird for a tour of all twelve continents.
