But eight nations say China has overtaken America. What might surprise you is Britain, Canada, Germany, and France are among the eight.

28 of the 28 countries surveyed say the US is viewed favorably by others. The highest ratings came from nations like Ghana, Senegal, Kenya, and Israel. Not surprisingly the worst numbers same from Middle East nations like Egypt and Turkey.
Three of the 39 countries have no problem with America’s use of drones to fight extremists.
