U.S. image among European, Asian partners improves under Biden

The United States' image abroad has improved dramatically since Joe Biden replaced Donald Trump as president, according to a Pew Research Center survey of 12 nations, mainly in Europe and Asia, that was released on Thursday.

The 2021 survey conducted by the nonpartisan research group found a median of 75% of people had confidence in Biden "to do the right thing regarding world affairs," versus 17% who felt that way about Trump in 2020.

A median of 62% had a favorable view of the United States in 2021, up from 34% last year. Those with an unfavorable view fell to 36% this year from 63% last.
