While Americans see some aspects of U.S. power more positively than people elsewhere, they offer more negative views in other areas.
Most say U.S. is reliable partner, and ratings for Biden are mostly positive – although down significantly from last year.
The U.S. is seen positively in advanced economies for its technology, entertainment, military and universities, but negatively for its health care system, discrimination and the state of its democracy.
Around three-quarters of Asian Americans (78%) have a favorable view of the United States. Majorities of Filipino, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese and Vietnamese adults in the U.S. have a favorable view of their own ancestral homeland. By contrast, fewer than half of Chinese Americans say they have a favorable opinion of China.
Unfavorable views of China also hover near historic highs in most of the 17 advanced economies surveyed.
