It turns out that Europeans generally welcome the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden and affirmatively on the’Biden Era’.
According to Bloomberg on the 20th, a poll conducted by the Pew Research Center on three major US allies, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom, showed that the majority of respondents showed confidence that Biden-elect would make the right decision on major issues in the world.
In Germany, 79% of respondents said they trust Biden-elect, and 72% of French and 65% of British responded the same.
Earlier, when the Pew Center conducted the same survey six months ago, only 10% responded positively to President Donald Trump.
“President Trump was not internationally popular throughout his tenure,” Pew Center analyzed. “The low score he received had a negative impact on the overall image of the United States among major allies.” On the other hand, he added, “In the case of Biden-elect, it is much more positive.”
The outlook for European-American relations was also bright. During the Trump administration period, skepticism grew over NATO (NATO, North Atlantic Treaty Organization), climate change issues, and Iran’s nuclear agreement (JCPOA), but 84% of German and French respondents, and 72% of British respondents, after Biden took office. Positive outlook on the relationship.
There were also views of concern about the US political system. 73% of Germans, 64% of French, and 62% of British responded that the US political system needed better change or complete reform.
Bloomberg noted that the investigation took place over two months from November to December last year, and that the invasion of Congress on the 6th was even before it occurred. According to the trend shown in this survey, the inauguration of Biden is an analysis that could serve as a flag for improving the global image of the United States.
The survey was conducted from November 12 to December 23 last year through telephone interviews with 3066 adults from three countries.
