Poll: America Less Respected Under Obama.

Thanks for clarifying

Canada + 13% favorable opinion of US
Britain + 13%
France + 32%
Germany + 33%
China +6%
Japan + 9%
Israel - 7%

Looks like that Hopey/Changey thing is working out well
It's working out well if we only care about what other people think. One could make the argument that some countries are looking at us more favorably because they love seeing the U.S. fall into a recession and struggle to get out.

I guess you missed the topic of this thread then, right?
No, just putting my two cents in. I agree that it's stupid to poll Americans about how America is perceived by the rest of the world. I also think it's stupid for Americans or America to worry too much about what the rest of the world thinks of us.
 
It appears that the US favorability rating is up significantly since Obama took office

U.S. Favorability Ratings, 1999-2009 Information and Politics

US has a favorability rating of 88% up 4% from the previous year
Thanks for the chart. That 4% increase is among Americans, check out the dramatic increases in other nations' opinion of the US.

Oh really?

Lets take a look at what opinions really matter in this great country. The opinions of those who ACTUALLY vote. The AMERICAN PEOPLE!

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll - Rasmussen Reports

Looks like Mr. Hopey Changey is pissing himself straight down the friggin' toilet.
 
More "Rightwinger" fucktardness... hey.. rightshitter, why have an election? Let's just poll the rest of the world and whoever they'd like to see as our president, that's who gets the job.

What does this even matter other than to a pussy who is obsessed with others' opinions?

You are a fuckin' idiot.

I realize of course that when some people hear an unfavorable opinion about themselves, or their team, or their country, it is traditional to retort "I don't care what other people think", but, secretly, whether people choose to admit it or not, isn't it nice to be respected?
 
Both sides use these stupid polls when they think it's to their benefit. All the Liberal nutters here complaining,were the same nutters who obsessed over these kinds of polls when the other side had power. So obviously they're pretty disingenuous and shouldn't be trusted. The fact is these polls are meaningless. Personally,i'm absolutely sick of hearing about what the Western Euros and others think of our leaders. To be more blunt...They can just F*ck Off as far as i'm concerned. It's what our people think is what really counts. So both sides should just call Bull Chit on polls like this and then call it a day.

Fucking morons start a thread about how Obama's popularity has declined worldwide and gleefully gloat about what a failure he is.

When shown polls that he is wildly popular around the world you reply..


"Who cares what the world thinks"???

What do the polls say abroad? Isn't that the true barometer of the subject?
They say the same thing they say here. What the Polster wants them to say.

When are you people going to realize that it does not matter at all what the rest of the world thinks of America?

They will not think well of us until we are paying their entire way in life. Until that day, accept the fact that we are a super power and people are going to hate us.

I'd rather be hated and in charge then liked and living on My knees.

Personally, I don't give a hoot what the rest of the world thinks about America. Their opinion means nothing to me.

Perhaps our ratings are up around the globe because we are currently seen as struggling with unemployment .. the economy .. etc. So many have hated us because the USA is a superpower and maybe those folks want to see this country fail. Or maybe our ratings are up due to the fact that our current POTUS is trying hard to move this country to the left with his socialistic agenda. Maybe the folks around the globe are happy to see the US being more like thier country.

Regardless, I still don't care what they think.

Obviously, you do care when the poll is in your favor..

How's that hopey - changey thing workin' for ya?

What? Did his World Apology Tour not produce the results he was looking for?
And his Noble Peace Prize for his 'ideas' on peace.

Pft.
Please.
 
Shouldn't a poll be conducted in OTHER countries to be relevant?

I was thinking the exact same thing!!! How do Americans know what people from other countries are thinking??? I know that I don't have the slightest idea.

Damn! I hate to have to agree with you.

At most the OP only shows that many Americans are losing respect of their country and their government.

Immie

That was sort of a backhanded compliment, but I'll take it!!! :lol:
