US President Joe Biden's foreign policy is better perceived in Europe than in his own country, thanks in particular to his efforts to resist the Russian invasion of Ukraine, according to a transatlantic poll released on Thursday, September 29.
According to this poll of 14 countries conducted by the German Marshall Fund of the United States, a research center based in Washington, the approval rating of Joe Biden's foreign policy is higher in Europe than in the United States in all countries surveyed except Italy and Turkey.
