Most Germans have taken a more negative attitude to the US since President Donald Trump's second term began in January, a study by a political magazine has shown. The survey by the opinion research institute Forsa for the magazine Internationale Politik indicated that almost two-thirds of respondents, or 65%, had a lower view of the US now than in the past. Just 8% said they had a higher opinion of the country since Trump's inauguration, while 25% stated that there had been no change in their attitude. The study showed sometimes widely differing opinions depending on the age, sex and political affiliations of the respondents. Women were more likely than men (74% to 56%) to view the US under Trump negatively, and the youngest (18-29) and oldest age groups (over 60) had lower opinions than the average (70% and 71% respectively). Supporters of the far-right, anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party were most likely to approve of the direction the US has taken under Trump, with 27% saying their opinion had improved as against 47% who reported no change and 22% who said it had worsened. Voters for the governing parties (conservative CDU/CSU bloc and center-left SPD) noted a significant deterioration of their opinion (76% and 80% respectively," while 91% od voters for the leftist Green and Left parties said their view of the US had become more negative.
