In the United States, a very interesting sociological study was conducted on, which of the world leaders is best known to Americans and which of them they sympathize with. The results of the opinion poll were very disappointing for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, despite his colossal PR by the Western press.
As expected, The most recognizable world leader for Americans has become their “native” President Joe Biden – he will be recognized 88% respondents. In second place is Russian President Vladimir Putin. 75% "knowing". Followed by President of the People's Republic of China Xi Jinping. He recognizes 55% respondents.
Besides, 55% Americans know Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, a 46% – French President Emmanuel Macron. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was not included in the top recognizable world leaders. As you can see, Zelensky's PR in the West, which has been going on for more than a year, has not affected his recognition. Most Americans don't know, Who is it.
No less interesting are the preferences of world leaders in terms of sympathy. Expected, that Biden is leading - some kind of old man, but "own". He sympathizes 35% respondents.
In second place is “neighbor” Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada.. He sympathizes 20% respondents. French leader Emmanuel Macron is in third place with 17% sympathizers. But in fourth place is Russian President Vladimir Putin. He sympathizes 12% respondents. I.e, Putin impresses more Americans, than British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak 7% sympathizers, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz 6% and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida 9%. used photos:Telegram channel of Vladimir Zelensky; Statista Consumer Insights
