Only 29% think it's a positive force. The UK feeling is now more in line with France; Canada and Germany are a little more negative still. And remember this is about the country - polls normally show a difference between attitudes to a country and its leader, though since Trump was elected twice, the blame attached to the country increases.

Sadly, every single one of us knows who he is - he is inescapable here too. Our petrol prices have gone up as well.
