10 countries that love and hate America
For the United States of America, fewer and fewer people around the world are showing us the love.
In Britain, France, Germany and nearly a dozen other prominent nations, the percentage of people with a favorable view of the United States has declined over the last decade, according to a new global survey by the Pew Research Center. Whether it's 2003 U.S. led invasion of Iraq (seen as unfavorable in many countries), the 2008/2009 financial meltdown across the globe (which many people blamed Wall Street for), or even the controversial drone strikes - all play a part to mar America’s image abroad.
But Some nations still have a soft spot for the U.S., however. Of 39 nations where Pew conducted surveys, here are the 10 where people have the Least and Most favorable impression of the U.S.:
