These new findings largely track with results from 13 months ago which showed (again) that only 37% of Americans feel world leaders respect Biden.
Reframing from Biden’s team?
As the current president seeks reelection, he’s been presenting himself as the better alternative to handle foreign policy matters. On multiple occasions, Biden’s stated that having Trump back in office would empower dictators while weakening NATO and shattering the confidence that US allies have in our country.
Of course, many of the president’s political opponents don’t see it this way. After the US’ controversial withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, many Americans faulted Biden for the death of 13 US soldiers, along with the Taliban’s return to power in the Middle Eastern country.
Can Biden repair his image in the foreign policy department and convince voters that he’s a better fit than Trump to work with other world leaders? Only time will tell.
