Report of the findings of the 2009 edition of the Transatlantic Trends Survey of the German Marshall Fund of the United States, September 2009. European support for U.S. President Barack Obama’s handling of foreign policy is quadruple the approval given to his predecessor, George W. Bush, according to the survey.

But people in Central and Eastern Europe and Turkey were markedly less enthusiastic about Obama and the United States than were their West European counterparts. And Obama’s personal popularity has not bridged serious transatlantic differences over Afghanistan, Iran, and climate change.
