Americans were polled on their plus or minus favorabilty towards 15 World leaders. From most disliked (hated) to positive plus rating. Worst to Best -75 Kim Jong Un North Korea -72 Vladimir V. Putin Russia -54 Nicolas Maduro ex: Venezeulan leader -53 Lukaschenko Belarus -44 Xi Jingping China -41 Modi India -36 Victor Orban Hungary -18 Donald Trump -1 Freidrich Merz Germany +2 Starmer UK +5 Macron France +8 Meloni Italia +11 Mark Carney Canada +13 King Charles III UK +18 V. Zelenskyy Much of Trumps poor polling has to do with Epstein Files/ bromance with Putin. Meanwhile to show absolute chaos in US..... Marco Rubio skips Berlin meeting to have dinner with Orban Trump again blames Zelenskyy for not holding elections during war, while comically stating his buddy Putin only wants "Peace" Then a man of principal Lindsay Graham, said, give Ukraine Tomahawks, so they can bomb the "Hell out of Russia" Lindsay you got all of the Free World behind you. Republicans need to revolt against the Pro-Kremlin agenda, otherwise, November will be a bloodbath for the party.
I 100% agreed with Kim and Putin being #1 & 2 on most hated rankings, easy to understand as both are horrible dictators and wanted "war criminals" by ICC in De Hague. I forgot Khameini, he was at -34 which is bad, and he just ordered 30-50K murdered in recent protests. My biggest surprise was Merz at -1, to me he should be up there with Zelenskyy, he is so much better then Scholz. Carney, I hate to say it as a Conservative, but he is a breath of fresh air, compared to Justin Trudeau's communist rule from 2015-25. He got rid of the hated "carbon tax", stole a lot of Polievres policies, after winning the election. Of course Carneys bid for stupidity, was in 2012, while he headed the Bank of Canada, under PM Stephen Harper, sold all of Canada's gold reserves. Not bright, when gold is at $5200US an oz. Macron, has his short comings, but he always stood with Ukraine. There is a Republican professor Gerdes that talked about the recent poll. Greg Terry also had same polling.
