"Great Britain ranked at the top of the list of 26 nations with a +83 percent favorable rating, while Iraq rounded off the bottom with a -85 percent score. Iran and North Korea, the other two nations identified by President Bush as comprising the "axis of evil," joined Iraq at bottom of the list. "

Does anyone have the full list? Or know where I can view it? I want to see where Israel and a number of other countries are.

^ Complete trend data displayed at the bottom of this article ** Country not rated last year

The major findings from a review of this year's results include the following:

• Fifteen of the 26 countries receive net positive ratings; i.e., the percentage of Americans giving them a favorable rating exceeds the percentage giving them an unfavorable rating.

• Americans are clearly most positive about two English-speaking countries: Great Britain and Canada, both of which receive net favorable ratings in the 80% range. (Australia, not included on the list this year, had a similarly high score in a 2001 survey.)

• Americans also give net favorable ratings of 50% or higher to five other countries: Italy, Spain, Japan, Mexico, and Germany.

• Germany is rated lower this year than it was last year. The drop is not as dramatic for Germany as it is for France. Americans' favorable attitudes toward Germany had averaged in the 70% range since 1991, although they dropped to 63% in June 1993 and reached a high point of 83% last February. This year, 71% of Americans have a favorable attitude toward Germany, while 21% have an unfavorable attitude.

• Turkey, Russia, Israel, Egypt, South Korea, and France comprise the next group of countries in the list. All of these receive significantly more favorable than unfavorable ratings from Americans, although not as favorable as the countries discussed above.

• As noted, there have been changes in the positioning of several of these countries in the minds of Americans since last year. Israel and Egypt get slightly more favorable ratings now than they did in 2002. Israel's net favorable rating has gone from 23% last year to 35% this year, while Egypt's net rating has increased from 20% to 31%.

• The image of France has undergone the most significant change of any of the countries tested. Americans have been asked about France using this format in six previous Gallup Polls, stretching back to 1991. Between 70% and 79% of Americans have reported favorable attitudes toward France in each of these prior surveys. Between 12% and 20% have reported unfavorable attitudes.

• This year, only 59% of Americans say they have a favorable attitude toward France, while 33% report a negative view. That's a substantial decline from last year, when 79% had a favorable view and 16% had an unfavorable view. The net favorable rating for France has thus dropped from 63% last year to its current reading of 26%.

• Kuwait, Vietnam, and China all have net ratings of about 0%; i.e., just about as many Americans rate them unfavorably as rate them favorably.

• A series of six countries have net ratings that are in the minus 30% to minus 50% range. These include Saudi Arabia, Colombia, Cuba, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Libya.

• Libya's and Saudi Arabia's images are slightly more positive this year than they were last year.

• Three countries have much more substantially unfavorable images among Americans: the Palestinian Authority, Iran, and North Korea.

• While attitudes toward North Korea have been strongly unfavorable in the three previous surveys that included North Korea, they have become much more so this year, with a reading of 12% favorable and 80% unfavorable. The net favorable rating of North Korea has moved from –42% last year to –68% this year.

• Finally, and not surprisingly, Iraq is the lowest rated of any of the 26 countries tested, with unfavorable ratings from 90% of Americans and favorable ratings from only 5%. This is not new. Iraq's image has been similarly negative in each of the 10 prior Gallup Polls in which it has been tested, going back to 1991.
