I’d very much like to see a correlation plot here, i.e. if someone likes Mexico, do they also like China? You would need the raw response data for that though.
There is one by political affiliation in OPs link. It looks like what you’d expect.

The fact that Americans still hate Iraq after 20 years of a puppet regims is insane

Who are the 13% with a favourable opinion of North Korea? I get that between Muslims and tankies you might be able to scrounge up that many who like Iran, but North Korea? How does that one rise above Lizardman’s Constant?

Reverse this order for Private Bonespurs, except for Iran.

When only 17% of Americans view Russia favorably, while 63% view Ukraine favorably, shows why Trump so clearly favoring Russia over Ukraine in the war goes over like a lead balloon, even among the MAGA base.

Who the hell are the 13% of people that see North Korea as favorable. Wonder how this would change if you only accepted results from people that could identify these countries on map.
10% of people dont like Denmark – who are these people?

I can’t overstate how important it is to mentally separate the inhabitants of the country from the government of the country. I lived in Russia for 2 years. I think their government is a disaster. But I know many extremely good people who live there. It would be easy to make the exact same statement about the United States.

10% of people have an unfavorable opinion of Italy?
Japan probably also has the biggest opinion flip and I won’t be close lol.

Of all the countries on this list I count only 4 we haven’t dropped bombs on. I’m probably forgetting something though.
India, Egypt, Israel, Saudi Arabia.

I feel like surveys need to clearly distinguish countries from a government vs. cultural context in the context of its framing.
Seems like everyone is rizzing up Italy cause they like spaghetti & pizza but know nothing of how it operates as a country

I would like to know how the question was phrased. This is so vague. Are we rating the government? The people? The culture? Geography?

I need to know why the 10% has an unfavorable view of italy, what could be the reason?
Like Japan, I could understand it can be due to anti Japan during world War ii or in case of Denmark, could be due to recent trump’s remarks to takeover Greenland. So what’s the lore behind italy’s unfavorable %?

Have yet to meet an American who can explain and justify the Cuba hate.

I know its a limited poll but there’s a huge difference between not liking a country because of it’s government and not liking a country without regard for it’s government.
Id love to be able to visit Iran. The people who arent about the theocracy, the culture, the food. All are probably great.
The government can go though (just like the US gov too IMO).

I just think it’s curious that the average person’s view on Saudi Arabia is on par with that of Cuba, China and Venezuela, yet the US has been propping up the Saudis for the greater part of a century. It’s like “we know you guys hate these people, but we’re gonna help them anyway”.

Pleasantly surprised by the approval of France. Too many Americans forget that they have been our ally since the start. We don’t talk about 1798-1800, we were all drunk during that time.

As an Australian living down in TX, I feel like Australia should be at 100% on this loool

Crazy to me that Canada is not at the top of that list. It’s up there sure, but not number 1.

And nearly 50% support despite that he lifting sanctions on Russia and does everything to please and honor Putin – this president.

The country, the people or the government ?

And now the other way around – how do these countries view the US.

Honestly surprised by Russia and Israel being that low and Western Europe, Ukraine and Mexico being that high

It’s funny because most of these positive feelings aren’t reciprocated.

Israel 48%?
No wonder they are getting everything “done” right now while they can still lead the US politicians by the nose. As more Americans turn against it, US politicians will follow. Even now in many dem primaries AIPAC funding is turning out to be the kiss of death
