Trump Has Lower Global Trust Than Xi—and Biden

China is now viewed more favorably than the United States, according to a new Pew Research poll of more than 30 countries, with President Donald Trump also lagging Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in global opinion.

The annual survey examines how the world's leading two powers are viewed around the globe, including their leaders and foreign policies. While U.S. popularity had already worsened in the 2025 edition of the survey released last spring, shortly after Trump began his second term, the country's standing has since fallen even more sharply. The findings mark a recent shift across many of the places surveyed, and the change is driven by both worsening views of the United States and improving perceptions of China, Pew said.
