Pak Sahafat – Hill website wrote in a report referring to the results of a poll by the Pew polling institute: With the escalation of internal divisions in the United States and the decline of the popularity of its leaders among developed countries, “the light of the beacon of American democracy is fading.”
According to Pak Sahafat News Agency report on Monday, quoting Hill’s website, every nation shapes public opinion by disseminating its values ​​and interests on the world stage, and the way citizens and governments respond to a nation can influence its power and influence.
Significant findings on global perceptions of the United States have been presented, according to a new report from the Pew Research Center, which focuses on an international perspective. This data, which covers the period from February (February and March) of this year to the third week of May (early June), is very important for the United States.
On February 24, Russia invaded Ukraine, sparking a massive refugee and humanitarian crisis. Thus, the US response to this conflict in the second year of the presidency of “Joe Biden”, who has recently been released from the scrutiny of criticism on how to leave Afghanistan and deal with the Covid-19 epidemic, is remarkable.
According to the International Opinion Polling Institute, although the world’s public attitude towards the United States is still positive among the 18 developed countries participating in the poll, and most of the world’s citizens still consider it a reliable partner, the Pew poll shows that over the past few years Concerns have been raised in developed countries about the state of democracy in the United States. In 2021, more than half of the people in the countries surveyed said that democracy in the United States used to be a good example for other countries, but this is no longer the case. Most of the countries participating in the poll believe that there are fierce clashes between supporters of different political parties in the United States.

Pew’s results also show that while Biden is still popular around the world, his popularity has declined since 2021, and his leadership confidence among 13 countries has dropped significantly. His popularity in Italy, Greece, Spain, Singapore and France has dropped by more than 20 percent. (Biden’s popularity is projected to decline more than it did for Barack Obama in his second year in office).
Experts say this reflects his failure to get out of Afghanistan, manage the Covid-19 pandemic and the US economic situation.
The United States also saw a decline in its international standing during Donald Trump’s presidency. The United States has seen deeper divisions between Republicans and Democrats than any other president in the last 30 years.
Hill concludes that, according to Pew polls, US internal divisions over race and politics are not hidden from the world, and the beacon of American democracy is dimming. The US media has hailed the poll as bad news for global competition in a democracy-seeking country, amid widening internal divisions.
According to the poll, the United States must find a way to resolve internal disputes and improve the situation. Hill concludes by pointing out that the Pew think tank review is in fact a beacon for the American engine of democracy, so a quick review should be on the agenda.
