As the U.S. and Germany prepare to gain new leadership, their relationship remains unbalanced in the minds of their citizenries. Americans see Germany as a partner on many foreign policy issues, but Germans mostly do not.

In international surveys, Donald Trump has generally received lower ratings than either of his two predecessors.

Few in 14 advanced countries have confidence in either Xi or Trump, and many are critical of how both countries have handled the coronavirus outbreak.

2020 has been a year unlike any in recent memory. Here's what people in 14 countries say about the state of the world amid the pandemic.

Americans give their country comparatively low marks for its handling of the pandemic – and people in other nations tend to agree.

Even as they age, younger generations in the U.S. tend to be more favorably disposed to groups, leaders and countries beyond their border.

When it comes to economic relations, some in Taiwan are more willing to work with both Beijing and Washington.

Americans are much more likely than Germans to see U.S. bases in Germany as important for their country’s national security.

Americans are divided in their outlooks, mainly along ideological lines, but are more united on opinions about China’s place in the world.
