A Pew Research Center survey of 36 countries finds less than a quarter of global adults express confidence in Trump’s leadership on global affairs, with the United States at 37% favorability and Canada dropping from 83% to 35% since 2022; 56% say the U.S. government doesn’t respect personal freedoms and a median of 63% say the U.S. contributes little or nothing to global peace, with only seven nations granting a majority positive view (Israel at 81%).

A Pew Research Center survey of 42,151 people across 36 countries (Feb. 8–May 13, 2026) finds widespread negative views of Donald Trump and dimmer perceptions of the U.S. as a reliable partner. A median 23% express confidence in Trump, 37% have a favorable view of the U.S., and 57% view the U.S. unfavorably, with large declines in trust since 2022. The share that sees the U.S. as contributing to peace and stability, and as considering other countries’ interests, has fallen in many nations. Israel remains a relative bright spot for Trump’s reception, but across most regions, especially Europe and the Asia-Pacific, views are negative and opinions of Trump’s foreign-policy handling are largely disapproved. Overall, global sentiment toward U.S. democracy and leadership has weakened compared with previous years.

However, some countries like Nigeria, Israel, Hungary, and India hold him in higher regard. Overall, Trump's global reputation is mixed, with more favorable views than Chinese or Russian leaders, but significant skepticism remains.
