Majority of people in 33 nations surveyed disapprove of Trump
Pew survey shows 75% or more of people in western Europe lack confidence in Trump and the feeling runs even deeper in Mexico.
The survey was conducted well before Trump signed off on a US drone strike that killed Qassem Suleimani last week.
Majorities of people in many of the 33 nations surveyed by the nonpartisan research center disapprove of a number of the policies that Trump talks about most often, including slapping tariffs on imported goods as a way to gain leverage in trade disputes, withdrawing from international climate change agreements, building a wall on the US-Mexico border and putting tougher restrictions on immigration to the US.
Similarly, across the 33 countries, more people disapprove than approve of Trump’s decision to have the US be the only world power to back out of a nuclear agreement with Iran.

Majorities in Israel, the Philippines, Kenya, Nigeria and India have confidence that he will do the right thing on the world stage.
Five leaders were rated in the poll, with Trump receiving the most negative views. Low shares expressed confidence in Russia’s Vladimir Putin and China’s Xi Jinping as well.

So, why is he polling so high in the US? Propaganda reporting is one reason.
