Barack Obama

And everyone knows people from other countries only want what’s best for America.

Via The Hill:

Nearly six in 10 people around the world express confidence in President Obama even as his approval rating in the United States is near an all-time low, according to a poll released Monday.

A Pew survey of nearly 50,000 people from 44 countries found 56 percent worldwide have confidence in Obama to do the right thing regarding world affairs. Though that number has held steady from last year, it was 16 points higher when he first took office in 2009.

Separate domestic polling has shown Obama’s approval rating — a slightly different measurement — in the United States stands at around 43 percent. Domestically, his approval rating on foreign policy is even lower.

Sixty-five percent of people around the world continue to have positive feelings about the United States, and 56 percent said the United States respects personal freedoms.

The percentage of people who believe the United States respects its citizens’ personal freedom, however, declined in 22 of 36 countries polled from last year amid revelations about secret surveillance programs run by the NSA.
