Americans hold the most favorable views of Canada, Japan, Great Britain and Denmark, with over 80% of U.S. adults rating these nations positively, according to Gallup’s annual World Affairs survey.
In contrast, Iran, North Korea and Afghanistan received the lowest favorability ratings, all at 15% or below.
While Republicans and Democrats largely agree on the highest- and lowest-rated countries, partisan divisions are stark regarding Israel, Mexico, and Ukraine.
Israel saw a record 50-point partisan gap, with 83% of Republicans viewing it favorably compared to just 33% of Democrats.
The shift is primarily due to a 14-point drop in Democrats’ ratings, influenced by opposition to Israel’s actions in the Israel-Hamas war and former President Donald Trump’s vocal support for Israel.
Party Gaps Divide Americans

Mexico and Ukraine also show near-record partisan divides, with Democrats rating both countries more favorably than Republicans by over 30 points.
Favorability toward Mexico, now at 67%, has increased among Democrats but remains a divisive issue, particularly following years of political debate over immigration.
Meanwhile, opinions of Russia and Saudi Arabia remain higher among Republicans, while Democrats hold more positive views of France, Germany, India, and Panama.
Overall, Americans’ opinions of foreign nations continue to reflect broader political and geopolitical trends, with divisions deepening over key U.S. allies and adversaries.
