America's reputation around the world has sharply rebounded since President Joe Biden took office, according to a Pew Research Center global survey published Thursday.

The new Democratic president is dramatically more popular globally than former President Donald Trump was. In 12 countries Pew surveyed in both 2020 and 2021, a median of 75% expressed confidence in Biden after a median of 17% said they had confidence in Trump last year. And while just a median of 34% had a favorable view of the US in 2020, favorability has surged to 62% this year.

In Germany, the portion of the public who has confidence in the US president to "do the right thing regarding world affairs" jumped from 10% last year to 78% this year. The shift is similarly stark in other major countries allied with the US. In France, confidence in the US president has surged from 11% to 74%, in Italy from 16% to 75%, in Canada from 20% to 77%, and in the UK from 19% to 52%.

Confidence in Biden was tied both to his personal characteristics -- he is rated as dramatically more "well-qualified" and less "dangerous" and "arrogant" than Trump -- and his policies.

9. Hardly surprising

The former guy did everything he could to alienate our long time allies while praising the dictators of the world. The current summit should help to repair our global relationships further. These leaders know Joe Biden and he knows them - and he understands diplomacy while the former guy didn't even know how to behave.

4. When your approval goes from 10% to 60% you can say that's a 50% increase

But it's also correct to say has increased by 6 TIMES.

Instead of 10 of 100 people like you, 60 of 100 like you. That's 6 times as many people.

Just saying.

This is wonderful news no matter you do the math

So that we can maintain and deserve that confidence from abroad.

14. One of only a million reasons I'm so relieved and happy to know we have President Biden at the helm

This news makes my day a lot less stressful. Still have angst wrt to the former's cult followers in and out of office, but this news helps mitigate my stress levels mightily.
