January 20th is the one-year anniversary since Donald Trump took office. During this period, the global view to the United States changed a lot. In a recent domestic poll, Trump's US numbers weren't good either.
America First is US President Donald Trump's policy, but when it comes to global leadership more people think it's more like America Third. The findings from more than 130 countries show a significant slippage in approval of US leadership. Under US President Obama in 2016, US leadership had a rating of 48%. Now it's 30%. China was higher, at 31%. And Germany was the top rated global power at 41%. Some of biggest percentage drops are among close friends and allies with big drops in Canada and Mexico. Trump famously said he was elected to represent Pittsburgh, not Paris. But in a recent domestic poll, Trump's US numbers are not good either. Out of the last four US presidents, Trump has by far the worst approval rating. The US does see gains in the Middle East-especially in Israel where approval jumped more than 10% but that happened in over just a few other nations.
