Gallup Survey on Americans’ Perceptions of Foreign Nations
Survey of 1,025 adults was conducted Feb. 1-3, 2010. The margin of error is ±4 percentage points.
Inside the numbers:
As a result of the generational differences, Egypt, China, Russia, and Mexico are all viewed favorably by at least 6 in 10 young adults, but by fewer than half of adults 55 and older.
Significant age gaps exist in favorability toward Cuba, Yemen, Pakistan, North Korea, the Palestinian Authority, and Iran, although most members of all age groups still view these countries negatively.
France, Russia, Cuba, North Korea, the Palestinian Authority, and Yemen are all viewed more favorably by Democrats than by Republicans. Israel is the only country rated this year that is viewed more favorably by Republicans.

Is it January 2013 yet?
