BBC民调：美国国际形象严重恶化

US global image worsens: BBC poll

[ 2007-01-25 16:52 ]

The image of the United States has deteriorated around the world in the past year because of issues such as Iraq and prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, according to a poll by BBC. Disapproval of the Bush administration's performance is higher in Australia than the global average according to the survey. The survey found 60 per cent of Australians now hold a mainly negative view of the US role in the world, compared with the average of 52 per cent. The proportion of people believing the United States has a mainly positive influence in world affairs dropped seven points from a year ago - to 29 per cent from 36, the results showed. Fifty-two per cent thought US influence was mainly negative, up from 47 per cent a year ago, the poll found.

In all, 26,381 people were questioned in 25 countries. Almost three in four people disapproved of US policy on Iraq, while two-thirds disapproved of US handling of terrorism suspects.

Sixty-five per cent disapproved of US policy on last year's war between Israel and Hezbollah guerrillas, 60 per cent of its handling of Iran's nuclear program, 56 per cent of its stance on global warming and 54 per cent of its policy on North Korea's nuclear program. More than two-thirds believed the US military presence in the Middle East provoked more conflict than it prevented and only 17 per cent thought US troops there were a stabilizing force.

The poll found that the American public also seemed to have serious doubts about US foreign policy. The poll, carried out between November 3 and January 9, covered Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, China, Egypt, France, Germany, Britain, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Italy, Kenya, Lebanon, Mexico, Nigeria, the Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Russia, South Korea, Turkey, United Arab Emirates and the United States. 双语资讯
