How various countries view themselves and others
Pew has just published poll results which hit the English speaking press under titles like "America's Image Suffers Abroad" However the poll was broader than that and one would be to their web site http://pewglobal.org/reports/display.php?ReportID=247 for the full report. There the title is--- U.S. Image Up Slightly, But Still Negative American Character Gets Mixed Reviews also adds to the focus of the report but still other things are there. It is already obvious the pro-American attitudes took a hit with Bush's election and re-election and some in the world are identifying Americans in general with Bush. But Table 2 of the Pew reports gives cross opinions of various countries with various countries. First most countries have a high opinion of themselves. That is not news. Thus 83% of the Americans think highly of Americans 74% of the French think highly of the French 64% of the Germans think highly of the Germans The Americans only give 46% to the French (which is about what the French think of the Americans, 43%). The Germans give France a 78% and the French give the Germans an 89% mark. Both think more highly of the other than themselves! The French get a 78% rate from the Canadians, 71% from the Brits, 74% from the Spanish, 69% from the Dutch, 83% from the Russians and 66% from the Poles. Americans get high marks for being hardworking and inventive but less so for being honest. They get very high marks for being Greedy, by themselves (70%)! Far fewer French (31%) view the Americans as being greedy. Americans are viewed to be much more violent (over 50-60% by western Europeans) than they view themselves(49%). They do not get a high "rude" rating except by the Canadians. Both the the Americans and French give a low rude rating |

Following up to Earl Evleth
U.S. Image Up Slightly, But Still Negative American Character Gets Mixed Reviews I thought the UK positiveness to US was probably pretty accurate, dropping drastically:- 83% 75% 70% 58% 55% I was amazed 60% of US thought they would do the right thing for the environment! -- Mike Reid Wasdale-Thames path-London-Photos "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Eat-walk-Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

After WW2, America has always been the world's hated bully and
Americans have always been the internationally despised loud rude ignorant Ugly American. What one hears being talked about regarding America and Americans in every country is a lot worse than those polls indicate. |
