Why is Portugal in the East European tier again? You’d think that in the PR metric they’d be in the same tier as Spain.
Czechs and Balts are lower than I would expect. CEE Portugal couldn’t be any different.
How can you have opinions on things you don’t know exist?!
Feelsbad
I see that they like pasta
Why is Liechtenstein in red?
I don’t understand the metrics.
What was the question asked? Was it 1-10 scale rating ? Was it done on the map or in text fields?
Not to be that guy but just like I can’t name and place States of USA i doubt half of the Americans could name and place European Countries.
Like in general Americans will have obviously better opinion about Western Europe because of “wealth” association…. but neither Italy being the highest nor the Portugal being negatively viewed makes any sense.
I would also assume that by Americans we meant only few selected states ? That would explain biased towards Italy for example. The difference between certain states in USA is as huge as difference between 2 nations in Europe.
Gosh golly the country of Europe, I love Europe y’all. Favorite place there is Australia.
Surprised Ireland isn’t higher than Britain. Not surprised by Italy though, probably the most positive euro-American “identity”.
Why of course Latvia is the same like Belarus….
I’m offended. We should do more to present ourselves to Americans. We deserve special color, god damn it!
Original source?
Do they even know where the continent of Europe is ?
Subject the participants of this “opinion” map to the following test: mention every country in there. Ask the participant to pinpoint the country on the European map.
Points: 3 if correctly pointed. 1 if pointing to a directly neighboring country. 0 otherwise.
I doubt many US Americans would score well in such a test. Anything above 25 in average would really surprise me. (*)
So not knowing anything about a country, let alone its location, but still expressing an opinion is ok? Right…
(*) US Readers, feel free to report your scores 😉
Germany used to be in the 90th %, until Trump convinced half of Americans that 2020 election results were sent to Germany and changed… Americans are stooooooopid
Edit, imagine Americas strongest and most fervent ally in Europe since 1948… and on the word of a fat embesseling madman half the nation decides that Germany is evil.
I’m an American so I can explain.
Russia is bad. Italian food is good. Ireland and England speak english thus we know a bit more about them. The light green countries are European countries we’ve heard of, so they must be okay. The yellow and orange, we haven’t heard of, so they’re not okay.
What’s the point of this?
We get a graph similar to this once a week, and they all have different results. What does it matter what the 200 random people who answered a random survey think about random countries???
Russia bad
Sike. Most of them don’t even know these countries.
What did the Czechs do or didn’t do that the Poles didn’t or did do?
Americans have views? whaaaaaaat?
But I assume Italy is the only foreign country they have heard of in Europe, or maybe they think it is in Asia. Idk.
thank you usa, you are my best friend
I’m absolutely unconvinced that anyone in the survey knew even half of those countries.

Latvia? Worse than it’s Baltic neighbors? Why?
