Only 11% of Europeans across 15 countries view the ​United States as an ally, a historic low and down from 16% half a year ago and 22% in November 2024, according to a survey published by the European Council ⁠on Foreign Relations on Wednesday.

How many Americans view the United States as an ally?

I know you're just being sarcastic, but there's actually an answer to this, and it's actually worse than I thought. I figured presidential approval ratings (in the mid 30s, I think) would be a good analogue for this. Guess I was wrong.

For those whom the image does not load, it's about 17%.
