No Cuba?
RE: Of THAT group, it would be more interesting if the author would include an accounting of $$$ they have received from the US over the last decades.
EDIT TO ADD.... Foreign aid does not equate to gratitude because for one — THEY OFTEN GO TO THE COUNTRY’s GOVERNMENT.
You know what happens the moment government bureaucrats get the money...
I also noticed that the People's Republic of Chicago did not make the list.
Top NINE???
Why stop there?
If they went for top TEN would the USA be #10 in disapproval of the current administration?
Just askin’...
Where’s Chia Head, Jr’s state?
I would never, of course, recommend such a thing, but on a pure cost/benefit basis...lessee...option one: status quo, allow state terrorism to attack U.S. interests and take the resulting losses; option two: nuke the entire lot and take those resulting losses. (Sound of calculator clicking in background). Uh-oh.
Iran at barely half, I am surprised at that... figured it be way higher...
Also add:
The stats are not complete - need to see how much each receives in aid from the US - and then cut them off!
That pic is astonishing-—and you wouldn’t get me up there for a million dollars.
That said, a great movie is “Salmon Fishing in the Yemen”.
I saw it several years ago and it it quite funny.

They tried to poll them but they didn't have phones.

Global Image of U.S. Leadership Rebounds
Median approval rating of 45% in Asia is highest on record
After hitting a low point at the end of President Barack Obama’s first term, U.S. leadership ratings worldwide rallied in 2013 as he began his second. Median approval of U.S. leadership across 130 countries stood at 46% last year, up from Obama’s first administration low of 41% in 2012.
While this was not a full recovery to the 49% approval attained at the start of Obama’s presidency, it ended a downward trend.
U.S. leadership — which for most of the world likely means Obama — earned a higher global approval rating during a challenging year in U.S. foreign relations. It had its share of diplomatic gains in 2013: The U.S. and other countries worked to engage Iran, and long-isolated Myanmar continued to open its doors. But there were more than a few setbacks. U.S.-Russian relations fell apart over the Edward Snowden affair and Syria, and residents in Germany and other countries were outraged over the U.S. National Security Agency’s spying program.
Approval Reaches High in Asia
While the U.S. government shutdown in October kept the president from making his trip to Asia in late 2013, the image of U.S. leadership may be benefiting from the administration’s attempts to strengthen its alliances and trade partnerships throughout the Asia-Pacific region. In fact, the 45% median approval rating in Asia is the highest Gallup has measured in the region during either the Obama or the Bush administrations.

See Posts 21, 24 and 30 above.
I have the perfect solution.
Establish a higher rate of immigration for their citizens so that they will loooooooooooove us more.
Is Academia a country?
