Which Countries Are the Most Pro-American?
Back in 2007, then-candidate Barack Obama - writing in the pages of Foreign Affairs on America's role in the world - promised that "the American moment is not over," but that it "must be seized anew." Obama guaranteed, upon election, to begin that global renewal his first day in office. We decided to put his words to the test. Nearly two years later, RealClearWorld has teamed with Gallup to find out how the president has done abroad. Using Gallup's global survey data on ratings of U.S. leadership, we discovered that one region appears to be more supportive of American leadership abroad than all the others, and that region is Sub-Saharan Africa. Global Top 5s is a monthly feature by RealClearWorld.com powered by Gallup's worldwide research. Learn more at Gallup.com.
