WASHINGTON — The number of Canadians that view the United States favourably has dropped 20 percentage points since last year.
The findings come in new polling from the Pew Research Center that also suggests U.S. President Donald Trump is receiving mostly negative ratings from countries around the world.
The centre conducted surveys in 24 nations and more than half the people polled in most countries said they lacked confidence in Trump’s leadership of world affairs.
When asked about Trump’s personal characteristics, most describe him as arrogant and dangerous, and relatively few saw him as honest.
Ratings of the United States dropped significantly in 15 countries since last year, with one of the largest decreases among people Mexico.
Pew surveyed 28,333 adults across 24 countries, not including the United States, from Jan. 8 to April 26 by phone, online and in person.
