The United States is not the most respected country. We are running anywhere from neck & neck with Russia to only slightly above that.
Yeah, I saw some 2017 rankings a few months back.
According to Forbes' Reputability Survey, the U.S. was ranked #38 in 2017, down 10 full points from 2016.
Our international ranking, according to citizens of the G-8 countries surveyed, rose steadily in the Obama years as compared to the Bush years.
But, we're now on the (rapid) decline. The UK and Russia also slid down the international reputability ladder in 2017, according to the survey results.
The U.S did rank #1, however, when it comes to the disparity between how we see our own reputability and how the rest of the world views us, right up there with Russia and Turkey. ')
