Gallup has surveyed the world's nations examining attitudes toward the leadership exhibited by four major nations (the U.S., Russia, China, , and Germany) and one supranational groups (the European Union).
Once again the leadership of the U.S. comes out on top, as it has since the election of Barack Hussein Obama as President. Our President is substantially more popular overseas than at home.
No surprise inasmuch as he has consistently favored their interests over our own. One could be pardoned for believing Obama is jonesing after the next U.N. Secretary General vacancy.
Russia came out on the bottom, China didn't do much better, as both historically have done. The leaders of Russia and China consistently pursue their own nations' interests, with little concern for the regard of others.
