Polls concluded:

World Public Opinion Says World Not Going in Right Direction

Linked to Widespread Negative Views of US Influence

Rich Countries Seen as Not Playing Fair With Poor Countries

But Globalization Mostly Seen as Positive

UN Well Trusted


PIPA (Program on International Policy Attitudes) is pleased to announce the release of a 19-nation poll conducted by GlobeScan (formerly Environics International). This release is part of a new collaborative relationship between PIPA and the international polling firm GlobeScan, with offices in Toronto, London, and, now, Washington DC.

The poll finds that a majority of people in the world do not feel the world is going in the right direction, a view strongly linked to the view -- held by a majority -- that the United States is not having a positive influence in the world. A majority views globalization positively, but majorities -- especially in rich countries--say that the rich are not playing fair in trade negotiations with poor countries. In most countries the UN is well trusted.

These are some of the findings from the poll of 18,797 people in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, France, Germany, Great Britain, India, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, Nigeria, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Turkey, Uruguay, and the United States...MORE
