The Germans hate The "Bama" too

Most notable, however, is the sizable gender gap in Germany on drone
strikes. While 54 percent of German men approve of such activities, only
24 percent of women do. A male-female differential of that magnitude is
rarely seen in public opinion.

In retrospect, hopes for an Obama presidency were unrealistically
high, especially among Europeans. There was little Obama-bounce for the
American image outside of Europe after Obama's election. And while there
was significant improvement around the world in the approval of the US
president in the wake of the transition from Bush to Obama, only in
China and Japan did the new wunderkind's popularity reach European
levels.

Reality was unlikely to live up to these expectations. And it has
not. The real global public opinion story as Obama heads into a
re-election campaign may be just how long the Obama honeymoon with the
Europeans, including the Germans, lasted. Nevertheless, this new survey
suggests frustrations with Obama and the United States are mounting. And
leaders in Berlin, Washington and elsewhere need to be cognizant of
their implications, especially if the American people give Obama a
second term.
