53% of UK citizens now see the US as a negative force in the world

[malaise]

Let that sink in

[Wounded Bear]

1. Seems low to me...

[malaise]

3. LOL

Heard one analyst say 60% but the data I found says 53%

[dalton99a]

2. America is now the Evil Empire that must be resisted

[Celerity]

4. In my personal circles (looking at just my fellow Brits) it is probably 50 percent higher than that.

[malaise]

5. I believe you

[biophile]

6. Probably same amount of Americans feel the same

[greatauntoftriplets]

7. I'd like to know what percent Americans believe the same thing.

I'm one of them.

[SheltieLover]

11. +1

[Bettie]

14. Me too

and it breaks my heart to say that.

But, given what's happening now, half of our country (more than half of our congress) prefers to support the worst impulses of the lowest common denominator.

[Moostache]

8. This is why I will NEVER forgive the triple Trumper MAGA crowd...EVER!

I hope they all suffer reduced life spans.
I hope they all are infected by communicable diseases.
I hope they all go bankrupt and lose EVERYTHING.

More than anything else though, I hope they all suffer life long shame and constant remorse that is like an amputated limb that itches and can not be scratched. With an added dose of phantom neuropathy for good measure.

9. Aren't you glad they took off their hoods

The truth is out. They are women-hating racists who don’t give a shit about the rule of law, the Constitution or Democracy.

[Moostache]

12. True...but they simply replaced the hoods with those stupid red hats a long time ago...

Its always bummed me out because I have several baseball caps for the St. Louis Cardinals and the Indiana Hoosiers (my Alma Mater) that I have completely quit wearing because there have been multiple times MAGA-esque or MAGA-adjacent asshats have tried to strike up racist conversations with me by assuming ANY red hat of ANY kind marks the wearer as being a fellow racist scumbag...

Just ANOTHER reason for me to hate the sons of bitches!

[malaise]

13. I know many of my peeps won't wear red caps

anywhere 😀

[Wounded Bear]

19. I have a red ballcap with the Marine Corps emblem on it...

Have worn it a couple of times since 2016, but mostly it just hangs on the hook.

[spanone]

10. Is that alll?

😳

[Takket]

15. Only 53? I would have guess 80

Of course if they are anything like Americans probably 33% of them pay no attention to politics and have no idea who Trump even is.

[muriel_volestrangler]

17. It's more than when they last took the poll in December 2025 (35% then)

https://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-keir-starmer-uk-british-sentiment-us-iran-war/

Only 29% think it's a positive force. The UK feeling is now more in line with France; Canada and Germany are a little more negative still. And remember this is about the country - polls normally show a difference between attitudes to a country and its leader, though since Trump was elected twice, the blame attached to the country increases.

Sadly, every single one of us knows who he is - he is inescapable here too. Our petrol prices have gone up as well.

[Torchlight]

16. I'm certain he'll crater than number in the next two and half years.

There's always one more good thing to break, one more good person to bully, one more tradition to ignore for its own sake, one more rung on the ladder to remove, and one more hole in the boat that needs to be bigger.

I can't really at this point, take anyone seriously who asserts that this clown before us is a 'strong leader', I'm assuming they either do not know of what they speak, or are degenerate-adjacent, hoping against hope he lowers the legal age of consent.

[berksdem]

18. crazy enough

I thought it would be a lot worse!
