WASHINGTON, D.C. -- One year into Donald Trump's presidency, the image of U.S. leadership is weaker worldwide than it was under his two predecessors. Median approval of U.S. leadership across 134 countries and areas stands at a new low of 30%, according to a new Gallup report.

The most recent approval rating, based on Gallup World Poll surveys conducted between March and November last year, is down 18 percentage points from the 48% approval rating in the last year of President Barack Obama's administration, and is four points lower than the previous low of 34% in the last year of President George W. Bush's administration.

2. Many Gop Voters

would look at this poll, shrug their shoulders and say "So?" This has been Trump's mantra and why he appealed to many people during the primary. Because he was saying "America first". If you did quote this poll in a crowded room of trump supporters they'd probably start chanting "USA! USA! USA!" This is what they want.
