A bar chart showing that Americans see G7 countries positively, but people in those countries have less favorable views of the U.S.
Americans have more favorable views of the other G7 countries than people in these countries do of the U.S., according to Pew Research Center surveys conducted this spring.
For example, 65% of Americans have a very or somewhat favorable opinion of Germany. But 33% of Germans say the same about the United States.
Overall, majorities of Americans see the other G7 countries favorably, including at least seven-in-ten who say this about Japan (77%), Canada (74%), Italy (74%) and the UK (70%). But views of the U.S. in G7 countries are mixed or negative. Views are most favorable in Japan, where 55% think positively of the U.S.
