BRUSSELS, Belgium - The trans-Atlantic divide over Iraq remains wide and Europeans are still frustrated with American foreign policy, according to a survey being released Wednesday.

President Bush continues to be deeply unpopular: 72 percent of Europeans disapprove of his foreign policies and almost 60 percent see U.S. leadership in his hands as a bad thing, according to the survey conducted by the German Marshall Fund of the United States and the Compagnia di San Paolo, a nonprofit research center in Turin, Italy.

"Despite major efforts to repair relations, there is still a rift in how we view each other and the world," said Craig Kennedy, president of the German Marshall Fund.
