As the Gallup World Poll enters its 20th year, we look back at the biggest global discoveries from 2024 while looking ahead to what's in store for 2025.

A new Gallup analysis explores how the world sees the leadership of the U.S. and China, and the advantages that each has around the globe.

Gallup World Poll data from Africa in 2023 show that the U.S. has lost its place as the most influential global power on the continent, with China gaining ground and Russia recouping its initial losses after invading Ukraine.

Gallup's latest leadership report shows Germany remains the top-rated power in the world, with the U.S. in second place. Russia is still globally unpopular.

China and Russia are the top countries Americans name as the greatest U.S. enemy, but mentions of each are down. More now name Iran and the U.S. itself.

Cyberterrorism and U.S. adversaries developing nuclear weapons continue to rank as the most worrisome global issues to Americans, but fewer than in recent years find China's economic power highly concerning.

A new Gallup analysis suggests that whether the EU and NATO survive -- and thrive -- may depend on the actions of powerful member states and the confidence that people in member states have in their domestic political institutions.

Gallup takes stock of public opinion in Russia in 2023, outlining six key insights that offer a glimpse into life for those on the other side of the conflict in Ukraine.

Approval of China's leadership in Russia reached a record high of 71% in 2023, while approval of the leadership of Germany and the U.S. sank to levels not seen in nearly a decade.

Joe Biden's job approval rating is a fairly steady 42%. Ratings of his handling of the Ukraine situation and race relations are slightly higher than his overall rating.

Gallup surveys in nearly 140 countries in 2022 show the honeymoon is over for U.S. President Joe Biden, and Germany's image has lost some of its clout under new Chancellor Olaf Scholz. However, both countries are still in much stronger positions than Russia and China.

Gallup compares Americans' ratings of Joe Biden on key issues to the highest and lowest ratings during the Trump and Obama administrations.

Canada and Great Britain are again the countries Americans view most favorably, while Russia has slipped to join North Korea as the least favorably rated of 21 countries.

Americans' most recent favorable rating of China is the worst Gallup has measured, at 15%, while 77% view Taiwan positively.

Half of Americans continue to say China is the United States' greatest enemy today, with Russia getting most of the rest of the votes.

President Joe Biden remains underwater in his overall job approval and ratings of his handling of six issues. His handling of the coronavirus response is the only issue on which he earns majority-level approval.

Majorities of Americans predict negative outcomes in 2023 for a host of economic, political, societal and international issues.

As the war escalates, a majority of Ukrainians (64%) expect to join NATO within a decade. While 54% approve of the job NATO is doing, 30% disapprove.

In the midst of the war with Russia, Ukrainians' confidence in their president, government and major institutions -- particularly their military -- are at all-time highs.
