In our surveys, people are much less likely to skip questions online than when speaking to interviewers in person or on the phone; we explore how offering a "Don't know" option in online surveys affects results.

Americans have generally positive views of Israel and its people. But their views of Israel’s government and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are more mixed.

Israelis viewed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slightly more unfavorably (52%) than favorably (47%) in a spring survey, but opinions varied widely.

In an open-ended question allowing Americans to name which country they see as the greatest threat to the U.S., 50% name China.

A median of 76% of adults in the 24 countries surveyed say China does not take into account the interests of other countries in its foreign policy. Majorities in most countries also say China does not contribute to global peace and stability.

Around three-quarters of Asian Americans (78%) have a favorable view of the United States. Majorities of Filipino, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese and Vietnamese adults in the U.S. have a favorable view of their own ancestral homeland. By contrast, fewer than half of Chinese Americans say they have a favorable opinion of China.

91% of Americans have unfavorable views of Russia and 83% have unfavorable views of China.

In 2022, we experimented with a new question in cross-national surveys to capture the international equivalent of U.S. partisan "leaners."

Most Americans see little ability for the U.S. and China to cooperate on climate change policy or combating the spread of infectious disease. A majority of Americans continue to view the China-Russia partnership as a very serious problem for the U.S.

Americans support banning TikTok by a more than two-to-one margin, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.
