Pew surveys of more than a dozen countries published in September and October found that the public in allied countries — not individual leaders — rated Chinese President Xi more favorably than President Trump. Overall, no more than 1 in 3 people said they trusted either Trump or Xi when it comes to world affairs. Pew has consistently found poor global ratings for Trump and the United States throughout his administration. The United States has received the lowest rating globally for its handling of the coronavirus pandemic among the nations represented in Pew’s multicountry studies. While few of those surveyed think that China, where the novel coronavirus first emerged, has handled the pandemic well, they still rate it better than the United States.
