US President
Bush |
The image of the United States has deteriorated around the world in the past
year because of issues such as Iraq and prisoners at Guantanamo Bay,
according to a poll by BBC.
Disapproval of the Bush administration's performance is higher in
Australia than the global average according to the survey.
The survey found 60 per cent of Australians now hold a mainly negative
view of the US role in the world, compared with the average of 52 per
cent.
The proportion of people believing the United States has a mainly
positive influence in world affairs dropped seven points from a year ago -
to 29 per cent from 36, the results showed.
Fifty-two per cent thought US influence was mainly negative, up from 47
per cent a year ago, the poll found.
In all, 26,381 people were
questioned in 25 countries.
Almost three in four people disapproved of US policy on Iraq, while
two-thirds disapproved of US handling of terrorism
suspects.
Sixty-five per cent disapproved of US policy on last
year's war between Israel and Hezbollah guerrillas, 60 per cent of its
handling of Iran's nuclear program, 56 per cent of its stance on global
warming and 54 per cent of its policy on North Korea's nuclear program.
More than two-thirds believed the US military presence in the Middle
East provoked more conflict than it prevented and only 17 per cent thought
US troops there were a stabilizing force.
The poll found that the
American public also seemed to have serious doubts about US foreign
policy.
The poll, carried out between November 3 and January 9, covered
Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, China, Egypt, France, Germany,
Britain, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Italy, Kenya, Lebanon, Mexico,
Nigeria, the Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Russia, South Korea, Turkey,
United Arab Emirates and the United States.

英國廣播公司日前的一項民意調查顯示，由于受伊拉克戰爭、關塔那摩灣監獄虐囚等事件的影響，美國的國際形象在過去一年中急劇惡化。
調查顯示，澳大利亞人對布什政府的反對率超過了全球平均水平。
60%的澳大利亞人對美國在國際社會中扮演的角色持否定態度，高于全球的平均水平52%。
調查顯示，認為美國在國際事務中主要起積極作用的人數比例比一年前的36%下降了7個百分點，跌至現在的29%。
52%的受訪者認為美國的國際影響主要是負面的，高于一年前的47%。
這項調查共對25個國家的26381人進行了訪問。
調查發現，近四分之三的人反對美國的對伊政策，三分之二的人認為美國對恐怖嫌疑分子的處理方式欠妥。
65%的人不支持美國對去年黎以沖突的政策，60%的人不贊成美國對伊朗核問題的處理方式，56%的人對美國在全球變暖問題上的態度不滿，54%的人不支持美國對朝鮮核問題的政策。
超過三分之二的人認為美國對中東地區的軍事干涉并沒有起到阻止沖突的作用，而是挑起了更多的沖突。只有17%的人認為美軍在中東能起到穩定局勢的作用。
此外，調查表明，美國公眾對政府的外交政策也持嚴重懷疑態度。
這項調查從去年的11月3日持續至今年1月9日。參與此次調查的25個國家包括：阿根廷、澳大利亞、巴西、智利、中國、埃及、法國、德國、英國、匈牙利、印度、印度尼西亞、意大利、肯尼亞、黎巴嫩、墨西哥、尼日利亞、菲律賓、波蘭、葡萄牙、俄羅斯、韓國、土耳其、阿聯酋和美國。
