They didn't say that about our money or our aid while they were accepting it.
I don't really care.

Any poll will be slanted when taking into consideration WHO is collecting the stats and WHO is answering them.
Questions can be worded so that the entire answer will have nothing positive said such as:
Will Americans change their strategy of spreading a bad influence on the world? <-Worded so that Americans look bad.
Should Americans continue to be a bad influence on the world? <- Worded so that the answer means America is a bad influence.
If you ask these questions on a military base, you will get answers that are decidedly in FAVOR of the USA and its positive influences.
Public opinions are everywhere and the polls can be controlled.

OH Hell if I paid you to take a poll and had by people write the questionnaire I could get any results I want and if the poll in not favorable I just scrap it, most polls, poll 1000 to 1800 adults from across the world, randomly picked from a data base, but the research on the people in the data base and the questionnaire will produce favorable results. Its all BS, but they sell it and most people can agree with the poll but have no clue of how much resource & research was put into achieving the results.
The people of The USA are not hated, because most of us never meet with them. They see only the stuck up USA Americans

3/5th of the world can't read or write any language, how in the he*l can a global poll have any validation. You must mean some prejudicial Islamic poll. Sure, those folks are scared shi*less of us. Anybody that stands up to a bully will be feared have all the bully's against them. Why do you people have to ask such stupid questions on here. Hey, lets talk about why 90% of the people of the world live in extreme poverty while only 12% of the US has no houses for people! We must be doing something right for our citizens.
have you ever noticed how all of those that are down on the US have minority or female avatars? Just a coincidence?

I say that's because we are an influence.
What are they? Casual bystanders?
I don't really care, what they think.
What have they done lately?
UK new taxes and limits on who can enter London.
EU still can't work out currency fairness, calls freedom
an optional privilege.
Middle east?
Africa - rights? try Food!
Antarctic seems ok.
You want an opinion for your poll?
How about how many Americans could give a rats a55 about FOREIGN polls!!

Excuse me. But why do I care a damn what some biased manufactured "opinion poll" cares to publish? Do you or they think America conducts its foreign policy according to foreign opinion polls? Or that we can't see through that sort of poll publication? Or that any educated person can't see through a phony political poll question?
"A bad influence in the world"? Well,let's stop to think for a minute. What type of half-assed pollster would write that as a public opinion question? And then, what is THEIR political agenda? What is THEIR bias?
Although they list a lot of other countries, it is clear the BBC were going to direct their analysis and reporting to the American and British government. Such anti-government policy hand-wringing self-flagellation is common to the biased media in that country and ours.
You can skew a poll any way you want it, by asking a leading question in that manner. Usually, as in this case, a question like that just brands them as phony political propaganda biased on one side or the other. It seeks to interpret the world condition as totally in the control of one country, or group of countries.
Do what the rest of us do....ignore these pieces of claptrap. Phony "pseudo-social science" statistics based on a faulty premise like this are laughed at by REAL pollsters. The BBC should be ashamed of themselves for allowing themselves to be used, and the poll to be directed in that way, and then reporting it as politically valid criticism of their own country or others.

I wonder what they would say if we decided to remove our influence from the world stage.
I'm sure most of the people surveyed don't have a clue of everything the US does, they only know the stuff they are spoon fed by those who don't like the US, including our own media.

Scottie Pippen secretly hated and wanted to be Michael Jordan too.....what's your point. I don't see France running to the aid of the genocide happening in Darfur.

Ironically, those offering their opinions to the pollsters were standing in line for Foreign Aid hand outs from the US.

Sad.
It seems Kerry's "International Pariah" comment wasn't so far off base!
We've gone from leaders of the free world to occupationists!
Lovely!
