U.S. image around world sharply worsens: BBC poll
LONDON (Reuters) - 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 the BBC World Service released on
Tuesday.
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
percent from 36, the results from 18 countries that were also polled the
previous year showed.
Fifty-two percent thought U.S. influence was mainly negative, up from 47
percent a year ago, the poll found.
