BBC World Service Poll (BBC World Service)
A BBC World Service poll has found that the global view of the United States has improved significantly in the last year. More than 29,000 people across the world were asked whether they thought the influence of different countries was either mostly positive or mostly negative. It's the first time in five years that the U.S. has been viewed positively since the poll began in 2005.
