The U.S. is losing its standing as a force for good on the world stage, so much so that China is even viewed more positively, according to a global survey.

An Ipsos Global Advisor poll of 25 nations shows other countries' views of America dimming notably over the past year. The gauge drops the U.S. to 15th place overall, with just 40 percent of respondents viewing the nation as having a "positive influence on world affairs today."

That's a full 24 percentage points below a year ago, when the U.S. ranked seventh overall.

The results are from the summertime but were featured in a tweet Thursday by the World Economic Forum.

2. I sincerely doubt anything can penetrate their

1955 good old days mentality when things were so great. Be realistic!

3. It started long before last year. The debacle of Iraq would be a better reference point IMO. nt
