Most countries prefer alignment with the U.S. over China when the White House is occupied by a Democrat, according to Gallup poll data going back to 2007.
“Significantly more countries seem to prefer U.S. leadership over Chinese leadership, at least under Democratic administrations,” Gallup said in its report released Monday, adding that a Republican executive comes with a “net approval disadvantage.”
Gallup’s report showed that in 2023, nearly half (48%) of the world’s countries leaned towards the U.S. over China — which was favored by 21% of the more than 130 countries polled. A fifth of the nations were found to be “strongly aligned” with the U.S., the highest rate since 2009.
Throughout most of the Trump administration, a larger share of countries had favored China, which changed as Democrat Joe Biden took office at the start of 2021.
“The magnitude of these swings comes into stark focus when one compares country alignments across years,” the global analytics and advisory firm said, citing similar party-related trends under the George Bush and Barack Obama administrations.

Makes sense given the MAGA god's temperamental instability, favorable view of despots, unfavorable view of NATO, and overall buffoonery. As for Shrub, as the excellent Molly Ivins used to call him, no one has fond memories of the Iraq debacle, the global financial crisis, or how things went in the ME after we were not greeted with flowers and candies. Then you have the embarrassment that is the House Repub's with their sophistry and far Right radicalism, causing an inability to govern. Further tarnishing the reputation of the POT internationally.
