Global respect for U.S. leadership dropped sharply under Trump -- The opposite happened under Obama.  (Newsweek, 1/18/2018)
The perception of U.S. leadership abroad since President Donald Trump took office has fallen 18 percentage points from the median 48 percent approval rating it held when Obama left office. 
The approval ratings published Thursday are based on Gallup World Poll surveys of 134 countries between March and November last year. Close allies of the U.S. have seen particularly dramatic drops in approval rates for American leadership.
