The US and International Politics
In May, before the President Barack Obama visit in Poland, we asked the Poles about the role of the US in international politics. Present assessment of the USA influence on the situation in the world has been the best since 2006. The largest proportion of the Poles believe that on the whole the US has a positive influence on the world (37%). Over one forth of interviewees think its influence depends on the circumstances (28%) and 12% say that it is neither good nor bad.
The improvement of the US image is probably an effect of their clear standpoint on Ukrainian crisis.
More on that issue can be found in the CBOS report in Polish: ”Polish‑American Relations and Global Influence of the United States Policy”.
The data comes from the surveys “Current Problems and Events” conducted in years 2006–2014.
