World views US 'more positively'

[TerryTate]

Attitudes to the United States are improving, an opinion poll carried out for the BBC World Service suggests.
The average percentage of people saying that the US has a positive influence has risen to 35% from 31% a year ago, according to the survey.
Those saying the US has a negative influence fell five percentage points to 47%.
The poll, part of a regular survey of world opinion, interviewed more than 17,000 people in 34 countries.
The survey period was the three months up to the end of January 2008.

Hey, look at it this way. Germany and Japan had the most favorable ratings by those people of the world who were polled.



And to think 60 years ago those two countries were trying to kill most of the people of the world.



Guess people forgive and forget....

Good find TT.

What I'd really like to see is a poll of Americans that asks "Who cares what most of Europe thinks about us?"

I personally do not care for the most part. I'm tired of people whining about the most benevolent country in the world. We free them from tyranny, feed them, we cloth them, we send them medical aide, and we are supposed to care when they spit on us?

The only part I will agree with their distain for America, is that we will go after natural resources (such as natural gas and oil), because the libs won't let us be self sustainable here. Then they blame Bush and the military for trying to protect the US's foreign interests of these commodities.

The libs just don't know if they are bored, or punched.:puke:

Well, as Germany and Japan are the most favored countries now, maybe they should take over as the worlds benefactors....
