Germans’ opinion of the U.S. has fluctuated over the years but was historically low between 2017 and 2020 during President Donald Trump’s time in office. The percentage of Germans who had a favorable opinion of the U.S. dropped from 57% in 2016 to 26% in 2020, according to surveys conducted by Pew Research. In 2022, that number had increased to 63% and dropped slightly to 57% in 2023. Looking forward to an election year in the U.S. in 2024, will more or less Germans have a favorable opinion of the U.S.?

This question will be resolved by comparing 2023 and 2024 polling data from Pew Research about countries' opinion of the U.S.
