If you are American and looking for a new vacation destination or looking to study or travel abroad, your best options are likely ones where the residents view Americans favorably. No matter where you travel, it's essential to be respectful of each country's cultures, traditions and people. Of course, America is a superpower with the world's most powerful military. So it's fair to say it has its fair share of friends and enemies. According to a report by the Pew Research Center, the share of the global public that has a favorable view of the United States is on the decline. Some countries oppose the American style democracy and President Trump's term, and many others oppose the spread of US ideas and culture around the world. Globally, a median of 49% holds a favorable view of the United States. This is significantly lower than 64% during the final years of the Obama administration. Pew Research Center has tracked 37 countries for favorability of the United States. Of these, Americans' favorability has only increased in several of those. So here we go, the countries with the most favorable attitudes towards Americans. Starting this list off with number 11, Japan. Similar to Vietnam, the US and Japan have some dark moments in their past, but it appears their friendship has progressed since World War Two. Japan also has a favorability ranking of 56% for Americans. The Japanese are known for being kind and patient towards American visitors. They believe that the United States would use military force to aid Japan in a conflict with China or even North Korea. However, Japan's favorability has been declining with a 15% drop from the Obama presidency to the Trump presidency. Number 10 Tanzania. Tanzania ranks 10th for the countries that love Americans the most. Tanzania's favorability rating is 57%. Tanzania's favorability of the United States dropped 21 points from 78 to 57%.
