Approval ratings of the United States from countries around the world dipped down to a new low in 2020, according to a new Gallup poll.
In the poll published this week and based on data from 29 countries collected this year, the median US approval dropped to 18% from 22% among the same group in 2017.
Responses collected in the first year of President Donald Trump's presidency showed the US had already seen a steep decline in its global approval rating. A Gallup poll conducted between March and November of 2017 surveying the approval rating of US leadership in 134 countries found an 18% decline since the year before when former President Barack Obama was in office.

Even so, some countries recorded an uptick in US approval ratings, including Russia, which saw the approval rating of US leadership rise from 11% to 18% between 2019 and 2020, according to Gallup. However, the percentage of Russian respondents who disapproved of US leadership also reached a new high - the US disapproval rating in Russia leaped from last year's 56% to 71% this year, according to the poll.
Domestically, a Gallup poll following the election found that compared to prior to the election, President-elect Joe Biden's favorability rose by 6 points to 55% while President Trump's favorability dropped by 3% to 42%, Business Insider's Thomas Colson reported.
