Comparing our latest quarterly data with the last poll prior to Donald Trump’s re-election, favourable attitudes towards the United States have fallen by between six and 28 percentage points. In Great Britain, Denmark, Sweden, Spain and Italy, these are the lowest figures for USA favourability since we began tracking this question.*

More than half of people in Britain (53%), Germany (56%), Sweden (63%) and Denmark (74%) now have an unfavourable opinion of the USA. Italy proves to be the only country in which the number of people with a negative view of the US do not outnumber those with a positive view – but even here Italians are divided 42%-42%.

European Favourability of the USA Falls Following the Return of Donald Trump | YouGov

It's not been a good few weeks for Donald Trump in the eyes of those Britons who support Reform UK. In the past two and a half weeks, during which the US president has completely changed his country's approach to the Ukraine war and publicly rowed with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, his favourability rating in the UK has dropped from 22% to 15%.

Eight in ten Britons (80%) now have an unfavourable view of Donald Trump, up from 73% two weeks ago, while the number of Britons with a positive view of the US president has correspondingly fallen seven points to 15%. Donald Trump’s favourability has taken such a knock that he is now unpopular overall among Reform UK voters. The proportion with a negative view of the president has risen fully 25 points to 53% since mid-February, while the number with a favourable view has fallen from a commanding 66% to just 45% now.

By contrast, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has increased in popularity, with the proportion of Britons with a favourable view of the Ukrainian leader increasing from 64% to 71%. Again, the shift is largest among Reform UK voters, among whom he is now more popular than Donald Trump. The number with a favourable view of Zelenskyy has increased from 49% to 62% over the last fortnight, while those with an unfavourable view has declined from 37% to 27%.
