Paris: Donald Trump has been US president for less than six months but it’s been enough time to send opinions of American leadership plunging. Israel and Russia were the only countries surveyed where the public prefers Trump to Obama. According to Pew, the steepest slides in the view of Trump came in European allies such as Sweden, Netherlands and Germany, and in South Korea. By comparison, 93% of Swedes had confidence in Obama and only 10% feel the same way about Trump. Favourability ratings have only increased in Russia and Vietnam.”The survey was conducted among 40,447 respondents in 37 countries from 16 February to 8 May.
