Americans Misperceive How the World Views U.S. Leadership.
Since 2007, global approval of U.S. leadership is higher under Democratic administrations. Yet, Americans believe the world rates the U.S. more favorably under Republican administrations.
Wild swings in global public opinion toward U.S. leadership have occurred since 2007. Whether Americans should care how the world views the U.S. is worth debate. But Americans should have greater awareness of which styles of U.S. leadership are popular and which are not.
Demand for a rules-based liberal international order remains steady and strong, especially among Western democracies. It's just the U.S. is no longer seen as the supplier. Germany is. https://t.co/3CwLhpH0l9
